Spinning Your Stress Away

 “Just five more minutes” I kept thinking as I am pedaling faster and faster on my spinning bike and then it was all over my reaction “wow! I feel great.” This I have to say, is what I look forward to redoing every time I have an opportunity during the week. As I reminisce back on my younger years on how the benefits of being physically active helped me refresh myself after a long day at work. I thought of how difficult it has been nowadays to reconnecting with those hobbies due to work and family responsibilities that can consume you. For this reason, I believe that having some type of physical activity in your weekly regiment such as: yoga, bike riding, pilates can help you regroup and refocus on the goals you have for the week. Think about it as a restart button for your body!
