Life is complicated and bad habits, once tamed, can reappear under moments of stress. None of us are perfect. We all fall off the health wagon occasionally, but we must dust ourselves off and hop back on.
Fit Tip: Use Music to Motivate You Pre-Workout
Many of you said that you listen to music to while working out. It's a great way to keep your energy levels high and can help you push harder than you would without tunes. It's not the working out that's tough for most of us, though; it's getting the motivation to work out in the first place.
P.L.O.W. — Celebrate the Sun
In case you hadn't heard, on Wednesday the longest total solar eclipse of this century was visible from India and China. Although those of us in the US and elsewhere didn't get to witness it firsthand, you can't deny that it's a miraculous and rare event.
Even though there won't be a longer eclipse until the year 2132, now is the perfect time to celebrate our glorious sun.
P.L.O.W. — Take a Walk For Love
This sunny Spring weather has definitely lifted my spirits, and it's a time for many people to rekindle old romances, and find new ones as well. So take a long relaxing stroll in the sunshine with someone special, and enjoy these sentimental songs about love. This playlist is about 45 minutes long so if you walk the entire time at a moderate pace (3 mph), you'll end up burning 155 calories.
P.L.O.W. — A Tribute to Bon Jovi
I have been a big fan of Bon Jovi for a long time now, and when I watched this creative rendition of Livin' on a Prayer on GiggleSugar my fandom was definitely rekindled. That song definitely tops on my list of songs musical workout inspiration. Come to think of it, there are tons of Bon Jovi songs that inspire me to move.
