I am determined....to get stronger!

Been working on my arms..and balance moves, can you tell?

You are never too young...

You are never too young...

This young lady is willing to try; gotta love her efforts!

Tried again; another day, same dog, ha ha

Can't ignore that look of satisfaction:)



A yoga block certainly has its uses!

Rise to the balance challenge!

Having a strong core keeps the body upright!

Work the abs as much as possible!

This stretch is soooo good!



On of my list of "things to do".

No matter where I am, I am always thinking on how to improve my upper arm area!



Injured toe, balancing on one leg and smiling!

Stretching improves your posture!


The spine strengthens here as well.

Gotta work both sides..again and again..and again!

Step up and down, then switch to work other leg. Feels good!

Do it enough times..you'll really feel it, great for strengthening and toning the legs!

Nobody wants flabby arms; gotta work the triceps!

Push ups, anyone?

Balancing time!


Which one is your favorite? Mine is 'REPEAT', ha ha.

I drink water every single day. Do you?


Lower body has big muscles; need to work them frequently!

Having a bench is simply a must!

Chest press!


Challenge your muscles by lifting heavier than you think you can handle!

Love this bar!

Start on your hands for more stability.

A person is said to be considered, 'fit', if able to do at least 27 push ups without stopping!

Up the challenge by only having one foot on the flat surface.

Gotta stay balanced!

Try to stay balanced as you switch your position!


This little boy took up the "walking up the steep stairs" challenge!

Even dogs try the "dreadmill" otherwise known as the treadmill!

Yeah, I'm on my mat, what's next? Ha ha..

At least he's standing (burns more calories than sitting does).

Even dogs try to balance on one leg!

She is getting better at it...this is a great stretch, try it!

It's not moving yet..let me try this button..

Keeping calm BEFORE the workout!

Such a serious face..gotta stay focused!



Strengthening the core, back, even shoulders!


Love this pose!

What you do to one leg...you must do to the other-balance:)

Adding weights can only make one stronger!

Walking backwards puts less stress on your knee joints - try it!



Time to try the bike...

...because a treadmill is more than just for walking/running!

Smiling, moving, all positive!

Want to be 'less tight'? Stretching is the answer!

On stability ball holding a medicine ball-yes!


Nothing like a back view, ha ha


I love running up these stairs!

Phew, stopped for but a moment..gotta keep on going up!

That feeling after a workout!

A smile makes it all better:)
Check your numbers (such as your blood pressure) regularly, not just the scale!

You can use this machine, standing up...

This gentleman never stops trying...love it!

This lady always shows up, love it!

"Team Balance"...

Upper body strength!

Determined to do a side plank...with unexpected company:)

We all deserve a hug AFTER a workout!

Can you guess? Yup, that's my shadow, top of those stairs. I love running up and down stairs!


Balance, balance, balance!



This mat motivates me!


Have you stretched today?


Have done this and love it..Bosu ball and medicine ball, great CORE TIME!

Love the 'definition' being shown!


This is my look of determination..an injury is merely another challenge!

Try balancing on one leg, eyes (slightly) closed..

Stretching boosts your joint health!

"Half Moon" pose. Strengthens many areas such as the legs and ankles!

Elevated knee touches. Good for arm and core strength!

Step ups. Good for conditioning, leg strength.

Split squat on an elevated surface.

Who says you can't squat just about anywhere?!

As ready, add 'more challenge' to the move.

Always find a moment to strengthen your core!



Cheers...always try to choose plain water over other beverages!

One way to cool down:):)

Working on the biceps!

Bench....just because!

Ready to work on strengthening my chest area.

This is a great move to try!


I love lifting!

Stretching the hamstrings, so good!


Elbow plank on the bench-what fun!

A person is said to be considered, 'fit', if able to do at least 27 push ups without stopping!

Need to work on the triceps often, if you want a 'firm' look!

Up the challenge by only having one foot on the flat surface.


One legged shoulder press!

Even dogs try the "dreadmill" otherwise known as the treadmill!


...he told his mother, "Please stay back, I can do this", and he did!
What's your excuse for not rising to the challenge?!

"Okay - I walked, where's my treat?"
We deserve a treat when we challenge ourselves!

So not in the mood, but I just finished walking anyway...tired, now.

"Here I am, crossing my legs-my form of exercise!"

So what if she modifies? At least she tries:)

Hmmm...how can I get this machine started?

Yes, I did it!! Ha ha..the mind of a young one!



After the workout...time to stretch, ha ha

Contemplating running up 'dem stairs' again:)

Having a bench makes working out so much better!

Balance is important, even on the bench!

Love this pose-challenging!

Any which way...

I love me some Nike!

Working the core! Love it!

Push yourself if you want to see change; who wants to stay the same anyway?!

My version...her version :)

Here we are, let's start!


Live Strong-it's the only way to live!


Working the core!


I love running up these stairs!

Feeling good after running up 3 flights of stairs!

Burn some serious calories by climbing stairs!

Walking up stairs helps to tone my body, especially my calves!

Phew, stopped for but a moment..gotta keep on going up!

Feeling strong is the best feeling!
