 Have you been watching the Olympics? If so, then you know about Dara Torres, the 41 year old mother who made the Olympic team. Has this mom's journey inspired you to get back into a fitness routine?

Beth Walsh is swimming laps again at age 57. Stasi Turrell has returned to walking, 13 weeks after giving birth to her fourth child. And Geralin Thomas is lifting hand weights and skipping rope at 47.


Until recently, all three women had fallen off their fitness programs.


That was before Dara Torres.

Well, I think these women are all inspirational, but right now I am not ready for an exercise program.

Well, can't say that it has, because I was already on a path to getting fitter by riding my bike 5 times a week. Have lost some weight and gone down 2 sizes. Feels good.


Good on her, though!

Sometimes it just takes a little something to get us motivated.
