Workin On My Fitness

This weekend a really good friend of ours got married! We had such fun time with friends this weekend and it seemed to fly by way too fast. I am sleep deprived, but wouldn’t have it any other way. I can’t believe its already Monday again and that August is half way over. It just seems unreal that it is moving so fast. I want it to slow down! So, in an attempt to slow down all the happy memories, I am sharing something that helps me slow down today.

 

I love working out.
I love working out in the gym.
I love working out at home.
I hate working out outside, unless a pool is involved.
 
Since March, I have been trying to work out a lot more often. I recently got a Balance Ball from the YogaOutlet, so that I could experiment with different types of workouts at home and I am loving it. I will say that it still surprises me how changing something as small as adding a balance ball to your work out routine, can make you so sore. I have been using it for a week now and am super sore. I recommend adding it to your routine if you are looking for something new.

 

Also, make sure to take advantage of the End of Summer Sale going on at YogaOutlet, plus use promo code “bridgepose” for 15% off your purchase. I got this tank that I don’t want to take off. It is super comfy, plus you can wear it working out or with a casual outfit. What helps you slow down and relax?

  • #ad 🎄The holidays mean festive gatherings, cozy movie nights, and our favorite, cookie baking! 🍪 Thankfully, we have the @BISSELLclean PowerClean Furfinder to help with all the messes. It works so well.

❤️COMMENT “shop” for the link! It’s a cordless, self standing stick vacuum and my favorite feature, by far, is the bright headlights. They are seriously so bright, so you can easily spot hidden debris.

It also has a tangle-free brush roll and a 200w motor that delivers a powerful suction. And, it converts into a handheld.

The snap on the fur finder tool helps you effectively remove up to 95% of embedded pet hair. Plus, the crevice tool is great for hard to reach places like in between couch cushions. 

✨YOU WANT THIS!✨ BISSELL helps me handle the mess, so I can enjoy this special time with my family during the holiday season. 🎄
