Look good -- feel good

So, my New Year's resolution about that pesky weight thing... Well, let's just say that the weight is winning that one. Am I eating better? Yes, a little. But it's the exercise side of my life that needs a jump start. I've started my annual ritual of cleaning out closets and dresser drawers and my fitness pieces are jumping out at me. "Jumping" because they're cute and appealing? Uhh, no, not so much. Mostly because they're boring and uninspiring. Sometimes I just wonder what I might have been thinking...

To my rescue -- a press announcement that Cheryl Burke from Dancing with the Stars fame is launching a new exercise line. My new theory? If you look good when working out -- you'll feel even better. Right? In any case -- I think she's great. And I know there are other celebs out there with similar lines (in case Cheryl isn't your cup of tea). So, my humble advice: find the gear that makes you feel like a million bucks (but doesn't cost a million) and spend some time outside (or at your fave gym) getting your heart rate up a bit. Make sure that gear includes shoes/sneaks that make your feet feel good and offer the support you need. A healthy heart is a heart that lasts longer (and happier), and that's a good thing.
