Fabulous Friday Fitness Challenge

It's Friday and word is getting out about the Fitness Challenges. I'm hearing mumblings of "did you do the squats last week?" around town. Let's squeeze in another one in today, challenge a friend to do them too.

This one's quick and easy. Jumping Jacks.

Close your office door, find a quiet hallway, get the kids to do them with you or just stand up where you are now and get 'er done.

25 jumping jacks
rest
repeat

***Feeling super duper? do all 50 in a row
*** Afraid of full jumping jacks? Do low impact ones with one foot out at a time, both arms go overhead. Then visit "the truth about the pelvic floor" post.

Comment when you're done.  

READY...SET...GO!!!

times are a changing

This has been one of the stranger months of my life. Just in an unsettled, change brewing, new schedule kind of way. I recently sold my StrollerFit business of 5 years off to two wonderful local women. Although I'm excited about the prospect of what they will be able to do for local moms with little ones it's left me adjusting to a totally new schedule. No morning classes to teach, I've actually been able to take a few at the gym.
That has lead me to discover that I'm a horrible participant in fitness classes now. Always critiquing the instructor, she didn't warm us up much, or hey lady why aren't you walking around cueing and correcting form, and my pet peeve, 2 stretches...really an hour of strength exercise and we only need 2 stretches?!
The wonderful part about the change is that I really do feel I'm able to put my full effort, focus and best into one fitness avenue rather than balancing two businesses. I now have time to add speed workouts the more experienced members need to get to the next level, I'm able to offer strength/core classes that are so important in preventing injury for runners and walkers and I'm able to start thinking of some fun ways to connect the families of this wonderful group of women.
I have also discovered that my Juice Plus+ business is much more than I originally expected. It turns out, I love teaching people about nutrition too! since May, I have learned so much from others at wellness presentations, listening to the great line of Juice Plus+ educational DVD's and great conference calls. I've discovered that this is another avenue that allows me to directly help others, but simply sharing what I've learned and have a passion for.
It truly doesn't get much better than that....so I guess I better get back to work before the kids get our of school. =)

I look forward to talking to YOU soon about Juice Plus+, Moms in Motion or all the crazy things our kids do.

In health,
