52 Weeks of Lists – Week 6
52 Weeks of Lists – Week 6 is about our favorite way to exercise!
Exercise is an essential part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and finding enjoyable ways to stay active can make all the difference.
Regular exercise offers numerous benefits that extend beyond physical fitness. Engaging in consistent physical activity helps to improve cardiovascular health, strengthen muscles, and enhance flexibility. Additionally, exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters, reducing stress and promoting mental well-being. It also supports weight management and can prevent or manage various health conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Regular exercise boosts energy levels, improves sleep quality, and fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence. Overall, making exercise a regular part of your routine contributes to a healthier, happier, and more balanced life.
Exercise Ideas . . .
Running: There’s nothing quite like the feeling of hitting the pavement and getting lost in your thoughts while running. It’s a great way to clear your mind and get a good cardio workout.
Walking: Sometimes, a simple walk in the neighborhood or a brisk walk during a lunch break can be incredibly beneficial. It’s an easy way to stay active without needing special equipment.
Hiking: Exploring nature trails and hiking up mountains is not only a great workout but also a wonderful way to connect with nature and enjoy the outdoors.
Yoga: Practicing yoga helps in building strength, flexibility, and mindfulness. It’s a peaceful way to start or end the day, and it helps in reducing stress.
Pilates: Pilates focuses on core strength and stability. It’s a low-impact exercise that enhances posture, balance, and flexibility.
Swimming: Swimming is a full-body workout that is easy on the joints. It’s refreshing and provides a great way to cool down while staying active.
Strength Training: Lifting weights and doing resistance exercises help in building muscle mass and improving overall strength. It’s rewarding to see progress over time.
Dance: Dancing is a joyful way to get moving. Whether it’s a structured dance class or just grooving to your favorite tunes at home, it’s an excellent way to stay fit.
Group Fitness Classes: Joining group fitness classes like Zumba, aerobics, or boot camps can be highly motivating. The camaraderie and energy of the group can make workouts more enjoyable.
Some of the favorite ways I like to get exercise is to take Tigger for walks and leisurely hikes, stretching, dancing around my house and group exercising.

Week 5 – What Are My Comfort Foods?
One of my favorite comfort food meals is one my grandmother made for me. Fried ham, red eyed gravy mashed potatoes, green beans and buttermilk biscuits. My next favorite comfort food is another one of my grandmothers. Are we seeing a pattern here? Her chicken and dumplings. Oh Gosh!! I couldn’t get enough of both of these comfort foods.
