Get up and Move

Hello everyone. Time for the monthly goal update! Although the weather has not been cooperating, this month I have focused on working out 4 times a week. So far so good and I am increasing how long I work out each week. My end result by the end of the month I will be at 1 hour 4x's a week.
Wish me luck!

Has anyone set any work out goals this year that need to be refreshed?  Starting my day off with a little movement increases my energy for the day!

Please post a comment and let us know how working out (or not working out) has affected you.
