What gets you moving?  Does the drive to workout pull you out of bed in the morning?  Do you have someone that motivates you?  For me, I'm driven to lead a healthy lifestyle for my family. My mini-me sporting her Spandits and doing wall sits with me Nothing makes me happier than seeing my kids be active and being active with them.   getting Tucker to work on his cardio after recovering from his surgeries I will admit. There are days, when rest is just necessary.  Sometimes that turns into a two or three days.  It's okay.  I tell myself that it's completely okay and it's just my body telling me I need rest.    family strength training session Then there are days, when I really just don't want to work out and it's hard to get out there.  I find this especially true after a race, where I just need time off.      I feel that I am most focused on my workouts when I specific goal...

I'll be spreading the Sweat Pink love locally. First I'm starting with my girls. Then I'm going to start passing them out at local events, on the rail trail and when I work at the KVHC.  Check out how Sweat Pi...
