Lets Talk Shoes (Fitness)

 
 
I want to talk shoes today. I had someone ask "why when they wear their new everyday shoes and walk their legs and feet feel fine but when they wear there walking sneakers they hurt"? I had just one question "how old are your sneaker"? Just as I though they said they were a couple years old. One thing you have to think about is not many if any of us walk level and over time our shoes ware down on one side
 
 
Does this look familiar?
 
because of this when you walk your body is trying to even itself out and you strain muscle. This can lead to injury and  the uncomfortable feeling can cause people to give up When all you have to do is buy new shoes. Another Key is you need the right kind of shoes. You need an athletic shoe these are NOT athletic shoes
 
 
 
Walking or running it doesn't matter you legs, hips, spine and neck all need the right support. You can either go to a big store like foot locker or some other athletic store and get a $100 to $200  pair of shoes but unless you plane on running a marathon or something like that  a regular pair of sneaks will work Walmart and Kmart have a good selection for a good price. Also one other little tip is only wear these shoes when you do your walks or runs It will help them to last longer plus we walk different when we walk around a store then we do when we walk outside for exercise so you will get that warn out angle in your shoe faster. I hope this helped some of you and if you have any question feel free to ask that's what Im here for.

Dear Friend I went bare foot









Dear Friend,

            Omg today was so nice I couldn't wait for the girls to get home from school so we could play outside. Its a little weird seeing a mom playing on the trampoline by herself. So when the girls did get home we painted our toes

and the best part was we left our shoes off and we ran in the grass I missed that feeling so much. Then we jumped on the trampoline
 
Its really hard to take pictures on a trampoline
 
It looks like she's flying lol
 
 
Lily got stuck coming in
 
 
 
Then we went bike riding
 
 
My dog Skittles even enjoyed the sun today
 

 
she was on and off this chair all day. We had left overs for dinner but I really wanted PIZZA! I was gona order it but then I though no we have a fridge full of food that we already paid for But now that all the left overs are gone I think I might order a pizza tomorrow. Its Friday Why not!
 
The girls put there bed together like on top of each other and made a high princess bed as they call it
 
then they made lily box spring a reading area
 
 
their cute I remember doing that as a kid.
 
That was my day I hope tomorrow and this weekend are just as good if not better im so ready for bare feet and tang tops.

Rainy Day Workout


I don't know about you but runny on a cold wet spring day is just not my thing. So instead I go to youtube and click on some of my favorite workouts. I think about the muscles I would be using if I did run. My legs, butt, abs, and arms yes there are other muscles to but these are the main ones. What do I turn to first Blogilates and lucky for my its Monday and she always puts new workouts out on Mondays. Todays was 5 Best Butt Exercises to sculpt a Cute Booty  
                                   http://youtu.be/-7cylyuk84o

And yes my butt hurts. Then I decided to change it up a little I heard about XHIT daily and thought I would check her out and wow my abs HURT I almost couldn't finish but I did its called
 7 best ab exercises


 


Then I lifted some light weights for 20 min. I feel tiered my body hurts but I REALLY feel great and now when I go running again I wont feel like I lost that day. I have found that if you take a day off because of weather or something else none medical you get in a lazy phase and before you know it a week has gone by and you haven't worked out once. So its very important to keep going everyday. If you tried any of these workouts let me know what you thought and how you felt afterwards.

BLOGILATES FITNESS



So running everyday or walking is great but its not enough. You have to tone everything and a great fun way to do that is Blogilates  its pilates . Its easy to do but it kicks ur butt and it gets results. You can find her at http://Blogilates.com .  All her videos are on youtube just type in blogilates but to get the most out of her workouts you have to go her website blogilates .com when u join you get a password that unlocks a calendar each month which tells you what workout to do and how long. She also has one for beginner.
this one is the beginner one but this is what they all look like and she comes up with cute names for each moth like april is Aprilabes .
Look for her
 
She also just made her first dvd this year so you can look for that im so getting one. Like I said she is on youtube and u can just type her name and there are so many workout to choose from and they target different areas so you choose to just do legs and butt one day and arms the next then abes it all up to u. I have been doing these workout for a year now and I do feel stronger my mind is clearer I sleep better I have more energy and she makes it fun instead of counting the hole time or just saying come on u can do it she talks to u like a real friend would she talks about her nail or how do we like house she did the house or just a new song she heard and believe me u really do forget ur working out at times other times ur yelling for her to say stop cause ur body is on fire and she is just smiling saying only a couple more WE can do it. I love it hundreds of other people love it and I know u will love it to so go check it out give it a try and let me know what u think.
 
like miss blogilates herself always says
 
 

 
 
 

Dear Friend, What a nice day

 
 
Dear Friend,
 
It's finally feeling like SPRING!!!!! but I still want MORE. The girls didn't go to school today I over slept and our car aint working so I could drive them. So we played outside all day. The girls blew bubbles
 
while I sat and took in the warm sun
I could have so taking a nap  I thought it would be a nice time to do my nails carl HATES the smell so I can't do it in the house I do agree its a strong smell that seems to last all day
 
I got as far as taking my old nail polish off then realized with both girls being home there was no way they were gona let me sit here and do my nails so I decided to wait until tomorrow.
 
I got a little run in it was not as long or as fast I would have liked but it counts
 
we had a race ana won but she didn't have a dog who smells ever few inches and lily who likes to stop and throw rocks over the hill but I let her have the win.
 
Carl got to ride his bike finally he had three coats on lol
 
while we waited for daddy to return the girls played on the swings it was fun lily was swinging and as I was taking the picture her boots flew right off the one almost hit me
 they were ana's boots and they were 3 sizes to big but it was funny
 
she tried to say she didn't need shoes but after a few minutes her feet were ice this all happened after 7pm so it was cold. Thanks to all that fresh air they went right to bed tonight.
 
I forgot about these pictures I tool on Saturday. Lily went to her first birthday party it was one of her friends at schools
 
She had a blast
 
so that was my day i hope u got to go out and enjoy it.
 
 
Sincerely
ur sun kissed friend

Dear Friend How do they do it?




Dear friend,

Today was such a dark ucky day. I wont lie I spent most of it sitting in bed watching tv and playing online I CANT STOP going on Pinterest I have a real problem. I waited for the rain to stop and finally got dressed and went out for my run at 3:00pm not the smartest thing ive done. I got done a few minutes before the bus came and the girls saw me in my workout close and kept begging to go on a run I told them I just got back from one and was to tired ya cause me telling kids im tired is suppose to mean something right. Me being the great mom that I am said ok let me rest and get dinner ready and we will go. What they hear was go throw ur stuff on the living room floor and lets go. lol I can't help but smile so after a little bit we went for a walk
 
Lily brought her baby tiger I thought ok cause any other time we talk her dolls she walks soooooo slow and I was up for that
 
Nope she would push the stroller really hard and run after it and do it again and before I knew it
 
I was eating their dust. anabella decided she wanted to run a mile so I said go for it thinking this girl will be to poops soon enough
 
nope she went from that tree to me 8 times no problem
 then they went and jumped on the trampoline and here I am having trouble taking off my shoes I don't know how they do it but my new goal is to be like my 9 yr old daughter lol well there you go I ran I walked I wrote two book reviews and now a daily blog im either going to take a nice hot bath or just pull the covers up and go to sleep ill let u know tomorrow what I did.
 
Sincerely
your pooped friend
