Living The Good Life (With GoodLife Fitness)

Spring is finally—finally—in the air.

Oh, just writing those words feels amazing! It has been a long, harsh winter, and despite a ten day beautiful vacation to Miami and Orlando, winter still dragged on, which meant I spent more time than usual sitting on the couch wishing the snow would go away so I could get outside with my children to do the things we love to do. (I'm sorry, but fun winter activities like skiing and skating are not that enjoyable to me because -30C is the worst!)

Anyway, now with warmer days in our forceast, it's time to get back into shape. (Unless, of course, you've been smart and have kept up your workout routine even when all you've wanted to do is stay home, eat chips, and marathon-watch the new season of House of Cards.)

I have been with GoodLife Fitness for years, probably from the first year they opened in Ottawa. I loved that I could go the gym whenever I wanted to work out, I loved that there was always a location close to where I was, whether home or at work, and I especially loved the classes—like Body Pump.
I stopped going and tried another gym for a while, but I missed all that GoodLife offered me. Just as I started thinking about re-joining, I ws contacted by GoodLife Fitness to see if I wanted to work with them as a Brand Ambassador. Instantly, I said yes—there was no reason to say no to this parternship, especially because I knew it would help me achieve my fitness goals.

As a mom of two young (and very active) boys, I like to set a good example. Long walks after dinner, playing tennis, going on bike rides, and days spent swimming for hours on end in the summertime or when we're on vacation, are just some ways we stay active while having fun. For me, though, I need more. I like the challenage of a good class, like spinning or Body Pump at GoodLife, and I love putting on my headphones and getting lost in my music as I work out on the elliptial machine. Every bit counts—that's what I tell myself when I'm working out—and when I'm working out, I feel amazing. It's so true, what they say, it's like the magic cure-all. When you're working out and burning calories, your body changes, you feel better, and you look great, too.

I love being part of the GoodLife Fitiness Blogger Ambassador Program because I have no excuses for not going ot the gym now—and the more I go, the more I love it and the more it becomes part of my daily routine. And with summer around the corner, I can't think of a more perfect time to get in shape. After all, vacations for me are spent mostly in a bikini and I feel most confident when I've taken the steps to achieve a healthy body that can do it all.
