Even under the best of circumstances, striking a balance between “real life” and focusing on health and fitness is no easy task. Fold in military spouse life, and it kicks that challenge up a notch!
This category will give you insight from a milspouse perspective, including workouts, celebrating victories (large and small), and how to put your health as a priority, no matter what milspouse life throws your way.
Trust us. These great resources will make you “sit-up” and take notice. Don’t “weight” too long or “waist” any time. “Run” through these blogs. We are serious. “Jump” to it.
PS: Don’t skip leg day.
When my third child was just 6 months old, I already knew I was ready for my fourth, a girl. I just knew. My husband and I started to make plans, gear up, and even began buying her hair bows, her first ballet leotard, and I began my short list of names.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Being a military spouse is not for the weak-hearted.
There are ups and downs, joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, seasons of celebration and seasons of suck. It’s an emotional rollercoaster that can leave us excited and ready to jump back on and take another spin. But other times, this life-calling finds us with a spinning head, holding back tears with a nauseous stomach and searching for a puke bucket.
There’s an epidemic in the military community, one in need of help.
The weather is beginning to break with cooler mornings, which is ideal for walks or runs. In the last column I made reference to getting back to the basics. Where are you with your fitness?
No matter who I speak with, there are a variety of reasons why people exercise and your reason is no different. And no matter what you may read or hear, it’s always best to consult with your doctor first to make sure it’s safe.
Is there a point where you feel that you have to get back to the basics and start all over again? Your fitness program can be interrupted by family, work, injury, and health issues.
The initial reaction is to try to figure out how long you’ll be out of commission. The amount of time will be based upon the situation.
