Fit Friday with Nichole

Your emotions affect every cell in your body. Mind and body, mental and physical, are intertwined.~Thomas Tutko

 

The road to a healthy future for these girls requires work on the mind, body, and soul. Nothing can be forgotten, ignored, or pushed to the side for “later.”

 

For Fit Friday this week I am challenging you to put it all together. Pick a workout, clear your mind and tap into your soul. I have found that I need to do this outside and solo, the gym is too distracting.

 

For me one of the best ways to tap into this is a speed workout. This week I am giving you a speed workout, just in case you have found that cathartic push a speed workout can give, but you can pick any workout you want. 

 

As you push your body let your mind go and let yourself feel whatever may come.
