Fall Fitness and SportsBaby

Fall is upon us, and it is one of my favorite times of the year to workout outside. The Fall colors are brilliant, a breath-taking sight to see and be a part of as you run, walk, bike ride, hike among its beauty.

I'm going out on a good 1-2 hour bike ride later today, and I cannot wait! My exercise time is my most favorite time of day. It is my time to take care of myself, be good to myself, feed my soul with exercise, clearing my mind and taking time to look around me at the exquisite beauty I live in.

I am sure I will pass many on foot and on bikes. I also know that many will be pushing their jogging strollers, including their little ones in the pleasure of exercising outdoors together. I'll pass others on bikes with their bike trailers connected behind, again including their little ones in the experience of moving fast along the dirt and paved mountain paths, exercising with Mom or Dad.

I love to see Moms and Dads walking with their little ones in their SportsBaby, the best baby carrier on the market to exercise and take along on all your outdoor adventures, be it land or water. I've even seen a Dad mowing the lawn with his little one. Boy was his little guy happy!

I may see wildlife, birds, even harmless snakes; all a part of the beauty around me. I cannot wait to see the bright-colored leaves of gold, red, pink, yellow. I will hear the slow streams of water, cross over them and listen (much different than springtime). The mountains are majestic, no matter what time of the year. However, they are never more beautiful than right now with the painted colors of Fall stroked among them.

As I make my way back home at the end of my bike ride, my play time outside, I will again give thanks for this beautiful world, and it's majesty. I will also give thanks for being able to move, to exercise, to be healthier and stronger while in the presence of such beauty and peacefulness.

I hope you will also join in the outdoor beauty all around, move and include your children! Be healthier, stronger and filled with gratitude for being able to play and move outdoors together! See you out there!
