What is Balance?

We recognize that our to do lists are ridiculous, but that badge of honor needs to be taken off. The...

Renewing through Restoration
LifeWork:The Podcast
This is how we make life work through a bit of rest. Let's face it, neither of us are real 'restful' souls, so this is a really hard subject for us. But we also realize that there is renewal amongst the rest that we allow ourselves. We don't enjoy when people tell us to rest! Why? It makes us feel anxious and lazy. But that's NOT how it should be! We love fitness but we also know that our results don't come if we work our muscles 24/7. The growth comes when we rest our muscles and allow them to recover. That doesn't mean sitting around all day...

info_outlineThis is how we make life work when unraveling our fitness during the summer ! It’s hard to fit workouts into our day, we get it... it’s hot, procrastination takes over and there are a million things pulling at us. But we have to make it a part of our day and here are simple solutions to make your fitness journey work so that you can end the day well.
It should be a part of your daily to do list!
We all have crazy schedules right now, so how can we fit in our workouts during the busy summer months? We suggest picking 3 days to workout at a higher intensity, always being in motion by adding simple movement patterns to your daily routines, and scheduling it out.
Having the right space is crucial!
It isn’t a one size fits all and it doesn’t mean a full spread of a gym, but having a few simple things in place will give you the right headspace and space for movement. We even give some of our favorite items to help! Our favorite playlist? Hip Hop BBQ on Pandora is the big winner!!!!
Prioritizing is KEY!!!
We make a 30 minute workout just as important as showering and brushing our teeth on most days. It can’t fall off the list, so having a plan together and not compromising your day until this is conquered will help to make it a ‘1’ in your appointments. Your overall health is more important than what we give it credit for. Start taking care of yourself NOW so that you are set for any other battles that may come your way.
At the end of the day, it is about being PROACTIVE in your fitness journey instead of being REACTIVE! Keep it simple, keep it realistic and end the day well!
