Hi There,

Welcome back to K&T blog, how are you doing?

It is a new month, just 3 months (90 days) left before we bid farewell to 2024 and welcome 2025. This is another opportunity to reset your weight loss and fitness goals and to make good progress in the last quarter of the year, remember it takes 90 days to create a lifestyle ,we wish you the best for this quarter. On our side, we are also reviving our goals and gearing our self for the last push of the year, it always feels fulfilling when you compare your start and end fitness level at the end of the year , it is joyful when you are fitter than you were 🙂 .

There is joy in being fit, in being able to move as you desire, in running, in hiking , in exercising, in walking ,in doing things you used to do with your body when you were younger. It looks like we start to lose this joy when we age, work and family responsibilities takes precedence over health responsibilities, we get more and more comfortable with a sedentary lifestyle. The ageing process, the culture of the age, and the associated chronic illnesses hold us back from moving as we desire. But looking back at our youthful goals and searching for our lost-selves we discover that there is still music within us, music that our bodies still yearns to dance to, and music that our bodies can certainly still dance to.

Regardless of age and circumstances, our bodies are amazing, they are fully capable of becoming fitter than ever before, an example is the CrossFit age group competitors, these athlete defies age and they are ordinary people just like us but who invested time in eating well and exercising. Just to borrow a few lines from the song “I hope you dance” by Lee Ann Womack and Sons of the Desert (and later on by Gladys Knight), ” I hope you never lose your sense of wonder…….I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance and never settle for the path of least resistance…Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they’re worth takin’……When you come close to sellin’ out, reconsider……….Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone……..And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance……..I hope you dance”.

Our bodies were meant to be moving , they were meant to allow us the joy of living but we tend to sell out due to age, circumstances and illnesses but if we give our bodies a fighting chance by eating healthy and allocating time to exercise, our bodies easily regain the joy of moving and do things we forgot we could do. We would like to share one of our simple workout to get the body moving again, doing this workout first thing in the morning would be a great start :).

Until next week, Stay blessed and we hope you dance in this last quarter of the year.
