I’ve never really been a gym person. I mean don’t get me wrong... I’ve been to several gyms... I think they are great! But for me, I had to find my unique excercise language in order to let loose and get those endorphins going!  

I have found that feeling comfortable while working up a sweat IS my thing. Again, please don't get me wrong! It's good to step outside of your comfort zone! BUT feeling a room full of buff gym bunnies staring at little ol' me while trying to not fall off the treadmill made me not want to work out at all. What can I say? I am clumsy AF.

 Oh another one, running! I actually love running, except for when I do I feel super awkward. My cheeks feel like they bounce up and down and as they say in Talladega Nights,  "I don't know what to do with my hands."

This is not to say gyms and running are bad. I have a few friends that swear by both of these excercises. But I can't stand them. Know why? WE ALL HAVE A UNIQUE EXCERCISE LANGUAGE. That's right! Your body is different than my body, and her body, or his body! That means we all have a unique way that feels good to us to express ourselves in excercise. I want to help you find yours!

A few mentions before we start! The purpose is to encourage you to get active! You can do this whichever way feels good for you! It doesn't matter how ya' do it! JUST DO IT!!! Excercise is so beneficial to the heart, soul, mind and body! So grab some water and get going!!
