The Daily Balance

Good morning, friends!

I apologize for not posting last night, the Mister and I have been dealing with a lot of “stuff” that I’m not ready to discuss on the blog (don’t worry, it’s all good!). Needless to say, I was (am!) mentally exhausted. That, coupled with the fact that I was playing kickball for three hours on Monday (didn’t get home till 12:30 am!), makes for a very tired Shannon.

Of course everything at work is only getting CRAZIER, so you’ll have another uninsightful post from me this morning. However, you all seem to enjoy my link round-ups, and I do put a lot of thought into compiling them. So at least you all get to benefit from my crazy schedule

So, what’s going on in the world of fitness?

Are your kids (or you!) struggling in math? Have them run a lap before they do their homework! – Study shows that physical fitness is associated with academic performance in young people

Were you born to run? Study finds that variations in one gene may be associated with endurance running. I’m guessing I don’t have that gene

Is Bicycling Bad for Your Bones? I sure hope not! I cannot WAIT to ride MY BIKE!

Low on time? Find out if you can get fit in six minutes a week.

If you have been wanting to give skiing a try, you have to read this: How to Overcome Fear on the Slopes

We all know shoveling snow can be a great workout, but make sure you protect your back and heart!

I promise I’ll see ya’ll later for the Daily Delish!

Have you read anything interesting this week that’s fitness related? Please share with all of us!

   I love when you post these articles. So interesting. I agree that when you’re shoveling, you’ve got to be careful of hurting your back. As a New England native, I know how heavy that snow can get and I’ve had too many sore backs from it.
   Also, I don’t know how I feel about people being born to run. SO many people who grew up not being active at all have picked it up and become so successful at it. I don’t know if they had an innate running abiity or if they just found a passion that they pursued.
   Have a great day!

   I love your links! Thanks so much for sharing them. I hear ya 100% on the bike thing. I bought just a cheapo bike last year, and it was love at first sight. Even on a really stressful day, I found myself craving a bike ride. There’s something very freeing about being able to just cruise down the street! Now I’ve got my husband searching for a bike so we can ride together. I can’t WAIT until the days get longer and the weather warms up a little more!
