What Are Some Proprioceptive Activities You Can Do At Home? Enhancing Body Awareness with Simple Exercises

Understanding the sensory system is necessary for maintaining balance, coordination, and appropriate motor control.

How to Properly Recover When Starting a Fitness Routine

If there is one thing that have learned after losing 65 pounds through diet and exercise, it is that you have to just keep trying.

But after your first workout, you will be a different kind of sore. So here are my tips on how to properly recover when starting a fitness routine.

How to Support Recovery When Working Out in Your 30s

I received this product for free from Moms Meet to use and post my honest opinions. This post may contain affiliate links.

Here's the facts, we are no longer in our 20s anymore. We hurt ourselves when we sleep weird, we might have a grey hair or ten, and we don't like to stay up late or we'll feel horrible the next day. But we still have to work out and exercise to keep our bodies relatively in shape. So, what do we do? I have been on a health and wellness journey for a few years now. I started CrossFit in 2019 and while it was the best thing ever did for myself (I am in the best shape of my life), I am not as young as I once was. Even in the few years since I have started, I have realized that having a proper recovery routine is key to meeting my long-term goals. So here is my list of things that have started doing to help support recovery without breaking a hip.

New year, new you! Have you been rocking those new year resolutions? We finally made it back to the gym after our illnesses and what I have been noticed I was needing were new work out clothes! I needed new leggings especially and how about some FREE leggings?

Let's be real. I wear leggings all the time. I live my life in them and am not ashamed of it. I can dress them up or wear them down. They hug me in all the right places. So getting quality leggings especially is important to me.

WE DID IT! Running the Color Run 5K Atlanta

I told you all that we were going to be running our first 5k and I am happy to report that we did it! I was a nervous wreck before hand. I had been having serious pain in my hip and I didn't know if I was going to be able to power through. I decided my husband and I needed a non-weight goal to look forward to, so we signed up to run the Color Run 5K Atlanta. Since this was a fun run, you didn't have to run the entire time (just keep moving) which is why I loved it for our first 5k.


My husband and sister-in-law ran with me. My father-in-law was kind of enough to get up super early so we could head to the Atlanta Motor Speedway. I was worried about what to do with my phone and if I should wear my Bluetooth headphones or even my Fit Bit because I didn't want them to get ruined by paint. But the paint is powdered and you don't have to get any on you if you don't want to. It was a little chilly that morning, but I just knew I would get hot once we started running.
