Take a deep breath in, the deepest one you’ve taken all day…ahhhh. Don’t you already feel better?! Let’s take a moment to breathe and love up on our bodies. Recovery and mindfulness is just as, if not more, important as your normal workouts. It gives our muscles the time to repair. It allows our minds to relax and reset.
Today, let’s find a little stillness and relaxation to help us navigate through this crazy thing called life. Thank you for following along. I am tremendously grateful for our community and the ability to connect virtually.

Choose your own adventure!
Enjoy your weekend! Choose your own adventure - yoga, hiking, biking, walking, jogging, full blown rest day, etc. Whatever you decide, just make sure it’s something you enjoy. The more often you choose to do activities you love, the more likely you are to stick to your physical activity goals. Have a blast, and don’t forget to share what you did for your “Sunday Funday” in the Stronger Together Accountability Facebook Group!
