Being a mother to a young child, I had all kinds of excuses to avoid workout. However, as I get older and stiffer every day all the excuses can no longer justify my laziness.

So, one of my new year resolutions is to get active. I have to think outside of box. Since I don’t have much time to spare for Gym workout, I thought turning family fun time into workout time will serve my busy lifestyle. And, being an Angeleno, I’m blessed with all-year-round mild weather and beautiful nature. I’m within 30-mile radius to either the Pacific ocean or the San Gabriel Mountains, so hiking and biking can be easily turned from family fun time to working out time. Duh!
