40 Days of My Body: Day 24, HulaHoops Save Lives!

October 15, 2009

in 40 Days


Today, I did something DIFFERENT! I followed my heart and crossed something off my list (from 2 years ago!) and bought a hula hoop! My cardio workout just got a little more interesting.

What are you doing differently today to get your business ON, done, moving forward?

I am blown away by the support for my 40 days of My Body (if you are new to this story, read the intro here) project, which is a quest in service to my business and my own path of finishing what I start. I am committed to exercising 6 days/week, keeping a food journal and being more aware of ways I use (and abuse) my body. Going public is extreme, yes, and it’s working! I’m working with a fantastic trainer, Sunny Riggs, to create a program I can sustain over time and she’s amazing. HIRE HER!

I am not alone on my quest. The roll call is at 29 people (including me)! Some are getting organized, others giving up fast food and some are simply breathing! Support them; check out their sites, give ‘em some good love:

Tanya Geisler–40 days of hatha yoga and radical self-care
Petra Korn–30 days on her body (supported with love by hubby Nick)
Tia Reddy–yoga and exercise.
Alisa Bonsignore–working out and food consciousness–she talks honestly about a day gone wrong and being nice to yourself about it here.

    Thanks, Traci--I'm having a blast. Alisa: light up hula hoops!! I must know more. It's a MUCH harder workout that I anticipated. I made it 5 minutes in one direction and 5 minutes of failed attempts in the other direction and I can FEEL it! I'm integrating it in the pre-post exercises I do on cardio days.

    LOVE the hula hoop! We were just downtown and there were three women hula hooping in the park with light-up hoops. The 3-year-old thought that this was just the coolest thing ever! :)
