Last week, Pen and Keyboard celebrated it's 1st birthday! This has been a pretty exciting event for all of those who have worked so hard to get P+K started and keep it going! The year has been fantastic; I have learned so much about writing, fitness, and myself. And, I owe so much of that to so many of you!
Thank you for finding this little health and fitness blog and sticking with it. I sincerely appreciate all of your comments, e-mails, questions, and support. Looking back over the past year, this blog is one of my favorite parts. These daily writings on fitness and food are something that I look forward to and absolutely love being a part of. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of those who have stuck with P+K for the past year and all of those who have come on board sometime between then and now. I sincerely love this P+K family!
Over the past year we have had quite a few popular posts. It is always funny to watch the results on posts that get the most feedback and are the most popular since they are never the ones I expect them to be. Here are the three most popular posts during P+K's first year of existence... For all those nostalgic folks, like me.
Six Ways to Use Push-Up Bars
Since it's debut in January, this post has topped the charts in weekly popularity. I cannot say that this is a massive surprise since push-up bars are one of the greatest things since sliced bread. All of these exercises can be put together to form a great total body workout. Try doing each for 30-seconds, then complete the entire thing 2-3 more times. Be sure to take a 1-minute break for jumping jacks between each set!
Calories Burned in Disney World
Really, all of the Calories Burned in Disney posts have topped the P+K popularity charts. Two of the most popular of these would be the EPCOT and Magic Kingdom calorie counter. Although these were each done separately, the post about each together is the most popular. Personally, these are some of my favorite articles to write since they give me a great excuse for visiting the happiest place on Earth. Really, there is nothing better than having a solid reason for spending all day in a Disney park. Nothing.
The Pro's and Con's of Eating Eggs
Who knew that eggs were so popular? Seriously. This is, without a doubt, the most popular post to-date. Although this is one of the newest posts on P+K, it is one of the most read. Eggs are very interesting foods that have been surrounded with their fair share of controversy. Not only is the egg questionable, but the entire market is as well. This article goes over some of the health benefits and downfalls of eating eggs. It also helps solve the never-ending egg debate in the Ross home.
