#GetInMotion With Tampax Pearl Active

January is over and February going to go by quicker than we realize.  I’m certain that many of you created New Year’s Resolutions--or maybe rejuvenated a bucket list with items that we carried over from the previous years.  But get this--80 percent of New Year’s resolutions are broken by February 1st.  That’s probably a heavy statistic to hear but here’s another one:  It takes 21 days to form a habit.  What does this mean for you?  Well, today may be the day that you want to pick up that goal that you left on the wayside and pick it back up; after all, the year just started.   

I’m partnering up with Tampax Pearl Active to help you create that habit and reach your goals.  Consider me your online accountability buddy.  Yes, I know talking about menstruals might be an unusual topic but let’s take this opportunity to address some stigmas like avoiding the gym because of a fear of leaking while on your periods.  The average menstrual cycle takes 21 - 28 days, coincidentally aligning up with the amount of days in takes to form a habit and the  month of February.  If we push through our periods and create a consistent fitness routine, we can reach our fitness goals faster.   

I want you to take on this challenge with me to #GetInMotion, working out 28 days straight and try different types of routines until you find the one that works best for you.  But what about rest days, right?  Being active can be as simple as parking your car a bit farther from home, encouraging you to walk a bit more--if you’re like me, perhaps you’ll run a few laps around someone else’s car.  Don’t overthink this process too much.  You can even take your children, nieces or nephews on a hike, create an adventure in the park or simply liven up your routine with a different dance move.  On days that I need to take it down a notch, I’ll be incorporating a good stretch into my workouts and placing my feet on the mat to do some necessary yoga. What about the days you’re on your period?

Let me guess:  You’re ______ doesn’t permit you to dedicate a hour of your time.  Truly, I can relate to this sentiment.  As some of you may know, I have a lively ten year old son with a chronic condition, a busy freelancer that’s always on the go and with my own battles with sciatica and endometriosis, I never know how my day will go.  I don’t want to just tell you to move your body for 28 days, I want to join you on this journey.  Twenty minutes of your day will not only keep you motivated but liven your spirits just a bit.
