Hey Friends! I back today to share with you more Fitness goodness before the end of the year. I know I don’t usually post on Saturdays, but with only a few days of 2012 left, I just have so much still to share!
Today I’m looking back at the top fitness tips posts of the year. It was fun going back through my posts and pulling these together, in fact I ended up adding new tags to make them easier to find! You’ll see a new “Fitness Tips” category when you roll over “Fitness” in the top navigation now.

these are all excellent tips and i’m SO happy u opened up with the importance of shoes! i cringe when i see people running in converse! :P
i’d say one of my top tips is to remember there’s no secret to running better, it’s all about consistency. hope u’re having a wonderful weekend!
Thanks Cait! Shoes are so important and I know exactly what you mean about that cringing feeling. I love YOUR tip – consistency is key!! Have a fantastic Sunday and thanks for stopping by! :)
Hey :) I just found your blog and am super excited about reading it.
I’ve always wanted to do a tri but the biking aspect always intimidates me. It just seems like a really long distance. :(
Thank you for sharing your tips online and happy holidays ^^
So glad you came by Nadiya! As I find with most sports, distance is all relative. You just need to take your time and work up your distance slowly, then it doesn’t feel too overwhelming. Believe me – I had NO idea what I was doing when I got started! :)
A seriously great series – loving these wrap-up-the-year posts, Heather! :D A top fitness tip from me? Hmmm… Live the lifestyle. It’s not about one good training period or a few months of clean eating even – it’s about living the life with each choice, day in and day out for the rest.of.your.life! And that’s a good thing. :D
I never said it before; a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Kirk! :)

Thank you!! I was hoping people would enjoy them and it wouldn’t be “looking back overload”. :)
Great tip from you – live it, instead of a race at a time. That’s a harder one for me, which is why I choose so many races, but I hope to eventually be more intrinsically motivated with fitness.
And a Happy New Year to you too!!
That winter running post pretty much crafted a giant portion of my Christmas list. And then cost me some money when I didn’t get much of it from Santa. ;)

Did you get fun stuff though?! I discovered over the past week I do like working out in cuter clothes, you just feel better. :)
