Workout at the Park

Did you know that you might have workout equipment completely free for you to use in your area? We do where I am from. We have an awesome “newer” park that is about 10 minutes from my house. It has a splash pad & playground for the kids, a nature hike, a paved trail and best of all free workout equipment!

Most of these you can find at your local gym with the weights on it, here though you use your own body weight and it's a workout too, especially when you do several sets of 12-15 reps for the arms and several set of 20-30 reps for the legs!

I went to the park on Saturday to change it up plus it was such a beautiful day how could you want to be inside? I did 4 sets with 12 reps on each arm machine, I then did 4 sets with 30 reps on the legs. After that I walked the paved trail which is over a mile long.

Below are the pictures of the equipment at our park.

I had a blast doing the machines, it was so nice to be doing something different! On the paved trail you could ride your bike, jog and walk. If you have kids they could play while you get a workout in.

So make sure you are doing some research on the parks in your area, you never know what you might find!

You don't always have to hit the gym to get in a workout but wherever you are make sure you get something in every day. Weather it be in your own home, your own neighborhood or a local park! Keep moving!

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself. I just don't like what follows... winter! However I love walking in my home and smelling the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you will not have to keep adding water and you can keep it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot? What do you normal...
