Weekend Warrior Wonders ~ Memorial Day Weekend!!!

Hi Everyone!

We hope you all enjoyed the challenge yesterday! Did you push yourself? If you liked the workout, make a note of the routine, the reps, the number of sets and the time it took you to complete it. Then pull out the note in a couple weeks and try to do it in less time or do more sets and/or reps. Have fun with it and keep a track of your PRs :)

This weekend is a long weekend for most of us! YAY!!! Hopefully everyone can make the most of it. If you have a group of friends or family, grab them and get them to play a game or go to the park, take a hike, swim or run, maybe go on a bike ride... the world is yours! Spend some quality time with others but also do something that is good for you that you enjoy.

We are taking advantage of the good weather and the time off of work to enjoy the outdoors, spend time with friends and family and make some delicious fresh food.
