I love working out. I love how I feel afterwards. I love how it makes my body & mind feel great. I love feeling strong. I also hate working out. Mainly because I hate the concept of working out. I think it stems from being in dance my whole life. I never had to work out. When I was a child I had gym class, played outside, and danced. Let’s be honest, kids don’t need to work out. They are simply very active. I feel that many adults can learn from this.

As I have gotten older I still like being active but I don’t really enjoy most workouts. A problem many people experience. I prefer to take classes or do videos. I like to do things outdoors. I also try to walk to work whenever I can. If I walk to and from work I get over 3.5 miles in. I consider that my “workout” for the day.

As I was trying to force myself to commit to a workout on Sunday, I thought about just going for a walk instead. I decided to walk into town to get some sweetened condensed milk to make a key lime pie. Workout done. Bonus, I got to bake a pie and then enjoy eating it as well.
