Health and fitness are SUPER important to me! I love exercise; dance, yoga, Pilates, barre, running, hiking, rock climbing, etc… the list goes on. I also lead a super busy hectic lifestyle and don’t always have the time to fit in a full workout even if just for an hour. I don’t feel my best unless I get in at least a little bit of activity every day hence I compiled this list of mini workouts that can be done anywhere; in front of your tv, at the end of your bed, the park… I even did them in the hallways of a cruise ship as other crew members walked by... #noexcuses If these workouts help just one more person then they will have done their job. Enjoy!
