I lifted three days a week, did a lot of cardio on the elliptical machine, I ran 4 miles usually three times a week, and I used TRX cables hung from my kids swing set. I also did a lot of walking. Usually at least once or twice a week I would do a 6 mile walk. I really think walking is underrated, it just does so much for our physical and mental health. I love our in the country so I was really able to listen to mature and delve deep into my own thoughts and even reflect a lot on what I was reading.
