Where Inspiration Can Lead...

So while you’re walking with a pedometer on your butt, drinking water and having some sort of fitness epiphany, I thought I would let you know how inspired all this redefining the age “50” has actually made me

I am presently studying to become an ACE certified personal trainer! That’s right, I became so enamored with “feeling the burn” I want to inspire others to feel it too. I guess I could just have stopped random people on the street and asked them to “drop and give me 20” but it helps to have the credibility of some nationally recognized certification organization before making that request.

So here I am burning the midnight oil, studying day after day and learning more about my hip flexors and Adenosine Triphosphate production in my mitochondria than any human ever really wanted to know! In all seriousness, it is actually weirdly interesting to finally understand why my body hurts sometimes and not other times after exercise, the actual physiological reasoning behind stretching and warming up the body before exercise and what the heck blood pressure actually means…just to name a tiny bit of the info I am cramming into my rapidly expanding brain.

But don’t give it a thought yourself…just keep walking. If you’re like me, in the beginning I was only concerned with the wrinkles in my butt and eliminating the unsightly “flags” under my arms I called triceps.

But just thought I’d let you know where inspiration can lead you…..
