I'm a Zumba / Fitness Instructor, so I teach Zumba Classes a few days a week. When I'm not teaching my own, I like to attend other instructors classes. I love to DANCE! So, when I'm dancing in a class, I find that it helps to keep me on track and accountable in my work outs.
But, in between dancing, I like to also teach a Strength class at least once a week. I love "lifting weights" and toning exercises that help to increase muscle and strength. Plus its important to do this at least 2-3 times a week.
On days where I'm not dancing or lifting, (or even swimming in the summer).. I like to walk with my dog or my hubby~
@PoliteOcean Amazing! Zumba is so fun. And it looks like you do a variety of workouts. Good job!
I walk, do yoga, stretches and breathing exercises.
@RideaRainbow Amazing! Keep going. What are your favorite yoga positions?
Cat pose, pawanmukt asana, shavasana, and many more.
@RideaRainbow Nice! What are some new yoga positions you would like to try out?
Am open to suggestions
@RideaRainbow I'm not very skilled at yoga but my favorites are the cat and cow poses and i alternate between them just after waking up
Ohhh that is awesome. You can gradually pick up more poses.
All the best.
@RideaRainbow Thank you! U too!
I enjoy walking my dogs, yoga (just getting back into it) and light weights. The older I get the more I realize that self care is so important. Have a great day 7cups friends!
@sympatheticMoon7457 Yes! The older you get, the more important self-care is especially when trying to avoid disease. Where do you like to walk? In parks?
I love to walk where there are plenty of people (usually a park). It always cheers me up to be with other like minded people.
@sympatheticMoon7457 Me too. I love to walk when its windy. Its so refreshing
I try to get outside once or twice a day for a decent walk in the sunshine because I need exercise and Vitamin D.
My daily goal is to try and clock enough steps on my step counter to equal half a mile to a mile.
@integrityblues Thats nice! I hope you reach your goal. Yes for the vitamin D! Take care.

I used to do 30min of yoga in the morning and 45min of Pilates at night but ever since my spinal injury, I just try to walk as much as possible.
Maybe one day I will be able to get back to my old routine
@okarina I hope you so. I wish you a speedy recovery and I hope you get to enjoy yoga and pilates soon. Sending loads of love!
@comfortableNight4463
Thank you for that! :)
