What's on tap for your Saturday or your weekend? Are you getting a workout in? Challenging yourself one day? Trying something new?
Whatever it is I know and you know it will be worth it! Go ahead and go for it.
I say this because it's all hard work. I have always believed there is no such thing as luck = it's all about hard work!
I've done a lot this week, really pushed myself and I'm really sore. I'm hoping you find a way to push yourself, too. Getting out of your comfort zone is how we grow - and that's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual! Just know it WILL be worth it!
Have fun this weekend!
And, by the way, my oldest son turns 16 tomorrow. How did that happen? I might get a little sad thinking about it. . .
What challenges you? What's out there you want to try?
As school begins to wind down so does our normal routine. I have had a couple of people ask me for workouts they can do at home. So, eager to please I've come up with a short and sweet interval workout. All you need is a set of dumbells, some energy and good music. Hey, I've even provided that! Here is a new, fun playlist I'm cranking at class now.
So, whether you workout in your livingroom or backyard, I've got you covered!

Does your exercise routine change with the summer? Do you workout more or less?
