Floundering in Fitness

Via my instagram

Each spring we find ourselves inundated with a plethora of fitness heavy headlines: "Beach Ready in 4 Weeks!", "Get a Bikini Bod Fast!", "Shed Winter Weight Now!".  Each year I find myself rolling my eyes and getting a little salty when my gaze meet the shelves.

I've never had a beach goddess bod: not when I ran on my high school's cross country and track teams, not even when I worked out for two hours each night for months on end during my sophomore and junior years of college.  No simple five step plyometric inspired Tabata workout is going to melt my thighs in time for summer, so I typically take the cynical "like I give a sh*t, I'm funny!" approach to this workout festive time of year (to preserve my dignity, of course).  With that said, I've always been active, am pretty fit (but not a swimsuit model), and love to move and groove - just not in a competitive fashion.
