Join me for the second week of the BOSUstrong challenge, all about the balance! BOSU is giving away a BOSU ball every week to the most involved participant in the challenge – so make sure you tag all your Instagram and Twitter posts with #BosuStrong #SweatPink #FitFamily @Bosu_Fitness (IG) or @BosuFitness (Twitter) and @FitApproach.

6 ways I stay balanced

Balance means more than just being able to stand on one leg, it also means being able to do what you love while making healthy choices at the same time. It means putting in the work and still finding time for family. Or eating the truffle fries but balancing it out with salad (not pictured because truly my eating habits during the move have been woeful). Or unpacking boxes and BOSU workouts at home when you can’t make it to the gym.

Honestly, this week’s challenge couldn’t be more perfect for what’s going on in my life right now! After our big move last week, we are balancing exploring our new city, while still making time to unpack and organize at home. We are balancing eating as healthy as we can, while having to choose eating out and takeout more often than usual. (Although, not for much longer, because I finally have the kitchen and dining area organized and clear!). I am balancing my need to be active by replacing running with squatting and lifting every imaginable box to try to find my sneakers. (It’s worse than when I was desperately trying to find the coffee grinder. I am kicking myself for not having set one pair of running shoes aside so I wouldn’t have to look for them).

Mostly, I think for me balance is all about showing yourself a little kindness and compassion when you can’t quite achieve what you think you’re capable of – we all have ups and downs but fitness and a healthy lifestyle is about consistency, not perfection.

Here are the 6 ways I stay balanced – what are yours?

  • I make time for myself by sharing one-on-one parenting time equally with my husband. (read: I tell him when I need him to take the kids!) 😉
  • My favorite me time is going for a run.
  • My rule when it comes to a balanced diet is nothing is off limits or it will become an obsession.
  • I make fitness a priority by scheduling my workouts for the week.
  • When I get stressed or overwhelmed, my go to is going for a run. Or a glass of wine. 
  • I cook healthy meals and encourage everyone to be active to help my family stay balanced.

So I want to know – are you BOSUStrong? Copy and paste the above, fill it in and make it your own and then tag me in it and share with your friends! Let’s all be #BOSUSTRONG.

      I’m having so much fun with it, Carla!! Get a mini adult tram-am-poline session in! (obscure Simpsons reference there, sorry)

    It took me a long time to get balance on a bosu…sadly I’m pretty sure I will never have balance in real life. Too many pulls in too many directions I just ride the storms 🙂
