]]> In a world where work-life balance is often lacking, hobbies tend to take a back seat to more practical activities, even viewed by some as a waste of time. The whole point of a hobby, however, is that it is done purely for enjoyment, regardless of whether it will amount to anything productive. Ironically, practicing a hobby with this mentality can greatly improve mental health and wellbeing. If picking up a hobby sounds appealing to you, read on for some ideas to try.

Fluid Painting

Fluid painting involves pouring paint onto canvas in layers and moving it around to create abstract designs. Beyond serving as an excellent creative outlet, it can also have a therapeutic effect on mental health. The slow, mindful movements and gentle sensory stimulation associated with the practice have been shown to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

Tai Chi

For those seeking a slightly more physical practice, the art of tai chi offers a unique blend of gentle movement and meditative focus. Rooted in ancient Chinese tradition, it promotes balance, flexibility, and mental clarity through a series of postures and controlled breathing. It’s also low-impact enough to be accessible to all fitness levels and easy to incorporate into most daily routines.

Herbalism

While perhaps a bit unusual, herbalism can be a rewarding and educational wellness hobby for anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. Start by reading some basic books on the subject to familiarize yourself with the medicinal properties of plants, then create your own garden where you can cultivate the flowers and herbs that you feel drawn to. You’ll be able to reap all of the benefits of connecting with nature as you foster a sense of holistic well-being and self-sufficiency.

]]> Remember how when you were a kid you would effortlessly run around playing tag and do the monkey bars? Children are in great shape, and part of the reason is that they do so many activities just for fun that are actually a great workout. So consider re-incorporating some of the following activities into your fitness routine. Not only will you have a blast, but you’ll get a great workout while you’re at it.

Jump Rope

Jump rope, fun as it may be, is basically just jumping in place over and over again, something that definitely can get your heart rate up and help you work on plyometric power. Experiment with different variations to further challenge your body.

Hula Hoop

Hula hooping actually requires quite a bit of strength as you use the muscles of your core, glutes, hamstrings, and calves to keep the hula hoop in constant motion. It’s a great low-impact exercise and warm-up.

Skip-It

If you can get your hands on a skip-it again, you’ll find that this toy, which requires you to swing a ball on a rope around one leg while jumping over it with the other, really burns some serious calories.

Apple picking can be an amazing family activity, especially if you have small children. Kids just love being outside and doing something new, so if they’ve never experienced the joys of apple picking, you can take them this September.

]]> While we’re currently unable to do many things that we took for granted last summer, the COVID-19 pandemic still hasn’t canceled all activities. Being active and spending time outside is good for your health and immune system and here are a few low-risk activities you can practice without worrying.

Walking and Running

As long as you avoid crowds, walking and running outside are safe and desirable. Make sure to do it alone or with someone with whom you live so you don’t get into risky contacts. Wearing a mask while walking and running can be difficult, which is why choosing areas with no people is crucial.

Cycling

The similar is true for cycling. Take your bike and go explore remote areas, but if you’re using a bike for transport and go among people, make sure you wear a mask.

Swimming

While swimming pools are considered a medium risk, it’s best to stay out of them for now. But you can enjoy a day at the beach and swimming in saltwater. Again, this is only safe if the beach isn’t crowded. If you have plenty of space for yourself and don’t get in contact with other people on the beach, you shouldn’t worry.

]]> The slow cooker is a magical appliance that cooks your delicious meals without much effort. Unlike traditional cooking, it doesn’t require you to stand by the stove for hours as it does most of the work by itself. If you’ve been meaning to get more active, here are three activities you can do while your slow cooker prepares food.

Go for a Walk

Once your slow cooker is set, nothing prevents you from going out and being active outside. Even a short walk will do wonders for your physical and mental health, so put on your sneakers and just go outside.

Play with Your Kids

It would be so easy to get a book and sit on the balcony or the backyard for a few hours, but try to use the time you gained by not being required to stir the meal every five minutes to get active with your kids. Run around with them and play without any plan, it will be good for both you and them.

My Sunday ritual and routine is this: we start slower (sleep until it feels right) then it’s a morning walk with teens & puppy, drop into buy a coffee; chai, hot choc @canvas_espresso_and_home then off up the hill to the organic markets to pick up special finds or grab a fresh sweet Japanese tofu stick treat. •Then it’s home to make Fit Mama oats/porridge SEE IGSTORY for PEAR 🍐 PORRIDGE-highlights or eggs on toast. Then we relax chatting in the sunshine catching up on our family gossip. Chores (today it’s clean the shed) and gym then the afternoon is spent here preparing for the week. Fit Mama muesli; proteins balls, Fit Mama vege mash and sometimes a sweet potato pie. •This prep time makes my week smooth. I do not have to worry or think about food it’s ready or it’s organised. This fact ensures overall family health and a stress free life around food. Today I’m sending you motivation to get sorted because it adds value to your week ahead – I promise ✨b.x #blivewear #fitmama #transformation #healthy #squat #hitt #motherhood #womensfitness #40plus #fitspo #motivation #homeexercise #foodie #homeworkout #author #trainer

Home Workout

When it comes to working out at home, many people believe they don’t have time to do it. Make it a habit to do a workout the first thing after you put the food in the slow cooker, and after you’re done, you can treat yourself to a nice bath.

]]> Kickboxing is a fun workout that helps you burn around 400 calories per hour. It’s also a great way to release all the negative energy as you’re doing a lot of punching, jabbing, and kicking. Is it something you should consider for a regular workout?

Our best tip is to try everything at least once and see if it works for you. This is also true for kickboxing, as it may not be appealing to everyone but it’s a perfect fit for some people. The workout session happens in a group class where you won’t fight anyone but the air and punching bags. Kickboxing is one of the best ways to destress so it can be great for people who do intellectually demanding jobs and/or sit at the desk all day.

Kickboxing may not be right for the absolute beginners, at least those who aren’t up for a challenge. It’s a high-impact workout that may be too intense if you haven’t worked out in a while. However, it targets your whole body and you will soon be able to see and feel improvements.

]]> Swimming is a sport that’s good for virtually everyone. It has many health benefits and is great for all ages and fitness levels. Swimming boosts your metabolism and energizes your body and mind. It’s great for people who can’t run for any reason because it’s not difficult on the joints and bones. It’s a perfect exercise for any type of recovery. And the best thing—it works your whole body out. There truly isn’t anything like swimming.

Some of the benefits of swimming include:

  • maintaining heart rate
  • relaxing your body
  • building muscles
  • increasing immunity
  • keeping you fit
  • helping you lose weight

Children who learn how to swim at an early age are more likely to build a healthy life with plenty of activity. But even those who didn’t learn to swim as kids shouldn’t worry, as this skill can be mastered at any point in life.

And let’s not forget about all the fun activities connected to swimming! You can enjoy the days on the beach a lot more, go to the pool whenever you feel like it, or try some water sports. Thanks to public pools available pretty much everywhere, you can practice swimming all year long, but we’re the most thankful for it in the summer when it gets hot.

]]> The pandemic has probably changed your plans for a vacation this summer, but that doesn’t mean you don’t get to have any fun! As long as you’re safe and healthy, there are plenty of summer activities you can and should do. Here are our favorites.

Work in the Garden

If you’re lucky enough to have some outdoor space at home, get some activity from working in the garden! If you work for an hour or two you can count it as exercise as it will help you burn a lot of calories while doing something useful.

Go on a Picnic

Pack a basket and invite your partner or family to a picnic in nature! You can bring your favorite foods and drinks and enjoy a nice day outside away from the crowds. Running around with the kids will lead to an active day filled with happy memories.

Walk Around the City

You can burn plenty of calories by walking, and acting like a tourist for one day and walking around the city will help you get a new perspective on the place where you live. Pack some snacks and water and head out without a firm plan or an idea when you will be back.

If you’re one of those people, we’re not here to judge. Instead, we’ll share some amazing ways to stay active even though you hate exercising.

Dance

We don’t know a single person who hates dancing! Even if you’re too shy to do it in front of the others, nothing prevents you from blasting some music and making a dance party at home. You can burn a lot of calories while having fun.

Gardening

Taking care of your garden counts as an activity! Chances are there’ll be a lot of squatting, bending, digging, and other movements, so 30 minutes per day is enough to consider your workout done. Plus, you’ll have the most beautiful garden in the neighborhood!

Choices ~ I’m thinking of the choices I make on the daily of what to do and what to let go. Different seasons bring different choices. During summer we may be a little er maybe a lot unkept because I’m choosing other things, like… the garden, swimming, ice cream, canning, picking berries and making jam, fishing, camp fires with s’mores, catching fireflies and porch sitting. All of this of course on top of the things that have to be done like feeding my family, reading, and tending to relationships and of course squabbles and occasionally the all out fight, and let’s not forget a marriage! 😉 So forgive the messes. The untidy porch. The piles of laundry, all the boxes and jars, and screens of drying things, dirty floors, and unmade beds and definitely the untamed yard! We’re making memories you know #summer #sunmertime #seasons #momlife #mama #iammama #summerdaze #gardener #gardenlife #summergarden #family #choices #ichoosefamilytime #choosejoy #homestead #homesteading #homesteadingmama #gardenmama #farmher #simplehappycountrylife #homesteadersofinstagram #homesteadmama

Do Chores

Similar applies to all household chores. Wash your car, vacuum the floors, put the dishes away. Before you know it, you’ll get your heart rate up and your home will look so much better.

]]> We rush through our days, always too busy to take some time for ourselves. Unfortunately, this can leave negative consequences on our health and it’s important to stay as active as possible, even with so many things to do every day. Here’s what you can do to keep your heart healthy.

Use the Stairs

Whenever you can, use the stairs instead of an elevator. Going up and down a few floors will make your heart pump faster and that’s always good, especially if you aren’t too active on a daily basis.

Walk

Give yourself half an hour more to run errands and skip the car or transport. This, of course, depends on where you live, but try to add at least half an hour of walking every day if possible.

Get a Dog

Many people find it easier to be active when they make a commitment to someone else, and that someone can easily be a dog who requires walking a few times per day. This is a great option if you work from home and spend most of your day inside.

]]> While we’re currently unable to do many things that we took for granted last summer, the COVID-19 pandemic still hasn’t canceled all activities. Being active and spending time outside is good for your health and immune system and here are a few low-risk activities you can practice without worrying.

Walking and Running

As long as you avoid crowds, walking and running outside are safe and desirable. Make sure to do it alone or with someone with whom you live so you don’t get into risky contacts. Wearing a mask while walking and running can be difficult, which is why choosing areas with no people is crucial.

Cycling

The similar is true for cycling. Take your bike and go explore remote areas, but if you’re using a bike for transport and go among people, make sure you wear a mask.

Swimming

While swimming pools are considered a medium risk, it’s best to stay out of them for now. But you can enjoy a day at the beach and swimming in saltwater. Again, this is only safe if the beach isn’t crowded. If you have plenty of space for yourself and don’t get in contact with other people on the beach, you shouldn’t worry.

]]> The slow cooker is a magical appliance that cooks your delicious meals without much effort. Unlike traditional cooking, it doesn’t require you to stand by the stove for hours as it does most of the work by itself. If you’ve been meaning to get more active, here are three activities you can do while your slow cooker prepares food.

Go for a Walk

Once your slow cooker is set, nothing prevents you from going out and being active outside. Even a short walk will do wonders for your physical and mental health, so put on your sneakers and just go outside.

Play with Your Kids

It would be so easy to get a book and sit on the balcony or the backyard for a few hours, but try to use the time you gained by not being required to stir the meal every five minutes to get active with your kids. Run around with them and play without any plan, it will be good for both you and them.

My Sunday ritual and routine is this: we start slower (sleep until it feels right) then it’s a morning walk with teens & puppy, drop into buy a coffee; chai, hot choc @canvas_espresso_and_home then off up the hill to the organic markets to pick up special finds or grab a fresh sweet Japanese tofu stick treat. •Then it’s home to make Fit Mama oats/porridge SEE IGSTORY for PEAR 🍐 PORRIDGE-highlights or eggs on toast. Then we relax chatting in the sunshine catching up on our family gossip. Chores (today it’s clean the shed) and gym then the afternoon is spent here preparing for the week. Fit Mama muesli; proteins balls, Fit Mama vege mash and sometimes a sweet potato pie. •This prep time makes my week smooth. I do not have to worry or think about food it’s ready or it’s organised. This fact ensures overall family health and a stress free life around food. Today I’m sending you motivation to get sorted because it adds value to your week ahead – I promise ✨b.x #blivewear #fitmama #transformation #healthy #squat #hitt #motherhood #womensfitness #40plus #fitspo #motivation #homeexercise #foodie #homeworkout #author #trainer

Home Workout

When it comes to working out at home, many people believe they don’t have time to do it. Make it a habit to do a workout the first thing after you put the food in the slow cooker, and after you’re done, you can treat yourself to a nice bath.

]]> Kickboxing is a fun workout that helps you burn around 400 calories per hour. It’s also a great way to release all the negative energy as you’re doing a lot of punching, jabbing, and kicking. Is it something you should consider for a regular workout?

Our best tip is to try everything at least once and see if it works for you. This is also true for kickboxing, as it may not be appealing to everyone but it’s a perfect fit for some people. The workout session happens in a group class where you won’t fight anyone but the air and punching bags. Kickboxing is one of the best ways to destress so it can be great for people who do intellectually demanding jobs and/or sit at the desk all day.

Kickboxing may not be right for the absolute beginners, at least those who aren’t up for a challenge. It’s a high-impact workout that may be too intense if you haven’t worked out in a while. However, it targets your whole body and you will soon be able to see and feel improvements.

]]> Swimming is a sport that’s good for virtually everyone. It has many health benefits and is great for all ages and fitness levels. Swimming boosts your metabolism and energizes your body and mind. It’s great for people who can’t run for any reason because it’s not difficult on the joints and bones. It’s a perfect exercise for any type of recovery. And the best thing—it works your whole body out. There truly isn’t anything like swimming.

Some of the benefits of swimming include:

  • maintaining heart rate
  • relaxing your body
  • building muscles
  • increasing immunity
  • keeping you fit
  • helping you lose weight

Children who learn how to swim at an early age are more likely to build a healthy life with plenty of activity. But even those who didn’t learn to swim as kids shouldn’t worry, as this skill can be mastered at any point in life.

And let’s not forget about all the fun activities connected to swimming! You can enjoy the days on the beach a lot more, go to the pool whenever you feel like it, or try some water sports. Thanks to public pools available pretty much everywhere, you can practice swimming all year long, but we’re the most thankful for it in the summer when it gets hot.

]]> The pandemic has probably changed your plans for a vacation this summer, but that doesn’t mean you don’t get to have any fun! As long as you’re safe and healthy, there are plenty of summer activities you can and should do. Here are our favorites.

Work in the Garden

If you’re lucky enough to have some outdoor space at home, get some activity from working in the garden! If you work for an hour or two you can count it as exercise as it will help you burn a lot of calories while doing something useful.

Go on a Picnic

Pack a basket and invite your partner or family to a picnic in nature! You can bring your favorite foods and drinks and enjoy a nice day outside away from the crowds. Running around with the kids will lead to an active day filled with happy memories.

Walk Around the City

You can burn plenty of calories by walking, and acting like a tourist for one day and walking around the city will help you get a new perspective on the place where you live. Pack some snacks and water and head out without a firm plan or an idea when you will be back.

]]> No matter what, some people simply hate exercise. While knowing that it’s beneficial for overall health, many people avoid working out just because it seems boring or unnecessarily tiring. If you’re one of those people, we’re not here to judge. Instead, we’ll share some amazing ways to stay active even though you hate exercising.

Dance

We don’t know a single person who hates dancing! Even if you’re too shy to do it in front of the others, nothing prevents you from blasting some music and making a dance party at home. You can burn a lot of calories while having fun.

Gardening

Taking care of your garden counts as an activity! Chances are there’ll be a lot of squatting, bending, digging, and other movements, so 30 minutes per day is enough to consider your workout done. Plus, you’ll have the most beautiful garden in the neighborhood!

Choices ~ I’m thinking of the choices I make on the daily of what to do and what to let go. Different seasons bring different choices. During summer we may be a little er maybe a lot unkept because I’m choosing other things, like… the garden, swimming, ice cream, canning, picking berries and making jam, fishing, camp fires with s’mores, catching fireflies and porch sitting. All of this of course on top of the things that have to be done like feeding my family, reading, and tending to relationships and of course squabbles and occasionally the all out fight, and let’s not forget a marriage! 😉 So forgive the messes. The untidy porch. The piles of laundry, all the boxes and jars, and screens of drying things, dirty floors, and unmade beds and definitely the untamed yard! We’re making memories you know #summer #sunmertime #seasons #momlife #mama #iammama #summerdaze #gardener #gardenlife #summergarden #family #choices #ichoosefamilytime #choosejoy #homestead #homesteading #homesteadingmama #gardenmama #farmher #simplehappycountrylife #homesteadersofinstagram #homesteadmama

Do Chores

Similar applies to all household chores. Wash your car, vacuum the floors, put the dishes away. Before you know it, you’ll get your heart rate up and your home will look so much better.

]]> We rush through our days, always too busy to take some time for ourselves. Unfortunately, this can leave negative consequences on our health and it’s important to stay as active as possible, even with so many things to do every day. Here’s what you can do to keep your heart healthy.

Use the Stairs

Whenever you can, use the stairs instead of an elevator. Going up and down a few floors will make your heart pump faster and that’s always good, especially if you aren’t too active on a daily basis.

Walk

Give yourself half an hour more to run errands and skip the car or transport. This, of course, depends on where you live, but try to add at least half an hour of walking every day if possible.

Get a Dog

Many people find it easier to be active when they make a commitment to someone else, and that someone can easily be a dog who requires walking a few times per day. This is a great option if you work from home and spend most of your day inside.
