Hey Rockstar! I’m back with one of my top-requested and favorite training styles – booty barre!
On a personal note, there is SO much going on in our world right now that feels out of control. I’m tuning in to what I can control, and a big one for me is my choices around my health and well-being – mentally, physically and spiritually.
Getting good sleep, eating whole foods, managing anxiety and stress and moving the body regularly with exercise are 4 major players in keeping your immune system strong, keeping your body healthy and remaining resilient – even in the face of challenges.
You are a CHALLENGER, you are an OVERCOMER, you are a WARRIOR. I know you’ve been through things in your life already that have made you the woman you are today, and I want to remind you right now of your ENORMOUS capacity for self healing, strength and yes, resilience!
You are capable, strong and powerful. Rather than just reacting, you can choose your response to the things that come at you, and you can choose how you are taking care of yourself daily.
Negativity, blame and fear mongering are taking up a lot of space around us – and ALSO there is a tremendous amount of energy being given toward supporting, helping, and seeking solutions. You get to choose what to focus on.
I’m blocking out the opinions and the drama, and focusing on the facts. I’m taking smart actions to stay healthy and boost my immune system, and I encourage you to do the same.
This is an extraordinary time in our history as humans, one in which we are being tested, we are being challenged, we are being called upon to be the best of ourselves.
Remember who you are and how strong, capable, resilient and powerful you are. Look out for those you love, remember everyone around you is doing the same, and use your energy to take the best care of yourself, no putting it off.
If you joined me for the last workout in this series, your feedback and requests really inspired me to make a follow up for you. So thanks so much for reading my blog, doing my workouts, trying my recipes, and being amazing!
This series has a focus on form as it isolates your glutes and targets them from multiple angles to develop strength and a toned shape.
You’ll also sculpt your inner thighs, calves, abs and arms with this workout!
As always, I’m incorporating my own spin on things to help align our bodies to be straight and strong, improve posture, and increase our strength!
You’ll need only a set of light dumbbells or water bottles, and a chair, wall or countertop to complete these exercises that will have you burning in all the right places.
Now join me to sculpt, stretch, and sweat!
Don’t you just love a series? Me too! Take a 30-day Challenge in Rock Your Life and have workouts like this formatted into a plan to follow!
