It's Friday (insert sigh here)! For many of us, today marks the end of the work week and the ability to rest and rejuvenate for the next couple days. We hope everyone takes advantage and makes time for themselves so they can recover. Drew and I are at a fitness conference learning exciting new ways to improve Get Fit For It's trainings and services. We hope to bring back many great new ideas to share with you all.
Before you get too excited for the weekend, we have our weekly challenge for you. This week we thought we would create a combo to push you to find that strength to lift your spirit up and the clarity to free your mind of unnecessary thoughts.
#ChallengeOfTheWeek
First - Find 10 minutes in your day and force yourself to lie down, clear your mind and try to meditate. Letting go of thoughts as they come and go. This will help calm our minds and clear out the fluff we do not need anymore. In addition, it will help energize us.
#TrainingOpportunity
Second - Find 10 opportunities throughout the day to do a 1-minute plank. If one minute is too much for you, do 20 sets of 30 seconds. Play around with it and do timed intervals that will challenge you and make you stronger! Don't make it easy for yourself but heat up that core and as you contract your muscles squeeze out all the stress inside so after you complete each set, you are left feeling invigorated and ready for anything.
