If you like Zumba...

Then you'll LOVE The Color Run!

This morning I ran a 5K called The Color Run in my hometown Nashville, TN.  Every kilometer, they throw colored powder at you so by the time you reach the finish line, you end up looking like this:

It was a blast!  There were about 15,000 runners and music playing the whole way, so it really seemed more like a crazy paint-rave than a workout.  And since one of my best friends, Anna, ran with me it was even more memorable.

Now, let me get one thing straight...I am NOT a runner.  At all.  I don't really like running and I am not good at it at all.  But, if you add in friends, loud music, and about a ton of colored powder...running a 5K doesn't seem so bad.  In fact, it's actually really enjoyable.  

Exercise is more fun when it's fun.  And yes, I know that's redundant, but seriously!  Find something that you genuinely enjoy doing and getting yourself to the gym will suddenly become a whole lot easier.  For me, it's dancing or anything with music because it seems like a party.  Do you love to play basketball?  Cycling?  Badminton?  Jump-roping?  AWESOME!  Go do it.

Get up.  Find something that makes you want to move.  Keep dancing!
