M.I.A.

….MIA, that is what I have been! Unfortunately not in the MIA. ANYWHO – Sorry I have been such a slacker! With finals, job hunting & everything else this kind of fell to the wayside.  Which, isn’t good because this is something I love to do.  So! New goal is to try & post much more often.

I am home for winter break and with no gym, so I have been following a lot of the “Tone it Up” workouts and other various YouTube sites, or coming up with my own stuff.   I actually really like not going to a traditional gym because I can go with whatever way the wind is blowing. It has worked pretty well so far.  I feel this past month I haven’t been taking as good of care of myself as I should be! Too many sweets (out of stress, not a treat) and too much stress.  So, I re-evaluated my goals (or the ones I thought I had…) and I will do a whole “goals” so YOU too can get your goals all sorted out for the new year!!

Enough about goals & a new year, it will be here quicker than we know it! Let us get to a nice little at home workout.

Okay so it’s not so little, or easy, but it will get the job done! Requires no equipment 🙂

*Remember to stay hydrated the entire workout, listen to your body.  Safety comes first, so modify whenever you need to.  Jumping jacks, march, and jog-in-place are some ideas for modifying.
