As many of my friends can tell you, I hate working out.  I recently read a book that classifies people into four categories and the category I fell into basically states that if I am not having fun I am not interested.  Pretty much the book hit the nail on the head because I do not find working out fun.  However, I realize the importance of working out so the trick for me is finding forms of exercise I enjoy over others.

Call me an 80 year old lady, but I like water aerobics.  I grew up spending my summers at the pool and those were some very happy memories for me so, I guess there is a bit of happy nostalgia when it comes to getting into a pool.

I have also found Zumba to be a blast!  I’m a terrible dancer though.  The trick is to hide behind a good dancer, this way you will not see yourself in the mirror and you can vicariously dance through the person in front of you.

Recently, I have found a FREE workout through Skinnies and Herbalife off Old Canton at a place called FUEL UP.  So far I have only made it to a few classes but it I have to say, I don’t hate it!  It starts at 8:30 and we’re on our cool down by 9:00!  Quick, affective, and free… I’m in!

I have also joined a tennis league.  Now, I have to be honest, tennis is more of an excuse to socialize and wear adorable tennis skirts and dresses. What girl doesn’t love functional and cute?   I always feel like watching the action on the courts is as much a fashion show as a sporting event.  Parham Bridges Tennis Center always has a sale of 50%-75% off!  I have also heard that the Jackson Country Club has good sales on tennis gear.

No matter if you hate exercising or love it, whether it’s a walk in the park or a fitness bootcamp, I hope you are finding time in your day to take care of your body.  Of course, you should still look good while doing it!  Contact me for styling tips or a closet consultation.
