I have played some type of sport or physical activity most of my life. I have four sons, so this was not hard to do at all! The most dedicated workouts started after I earned my 2nd degree black belt and started teaching cardio kickboxing classes. I started lifting along with the teaching and the results were amazing.

My whole being is affected when I don't work out. It is for your mental/emotional health as well as the physical. I admit sometimes it is hard to be motivated after taking time off (10 yrs for me) Progress is the best motivator and that takes time to see!
I am determined to be a very active and "young" grandmother to my grandkids. That is a great motivator as well. I taught my boys a flip throw in for soccer...hoping to still be able to teach the grandson!
