Chocolate Overnight Oats and the hardest 9 minute workout

Active Parent Balance

Happy Friday you beautiful parents.
I have decided to change things up a little and send these emails on Friday instead of the weekend so you can take advantage of the recipe or meal prep idea that comes with the email.

In case you missed it

Last week’s video I talk about how I learned to trust the process and find the benefits even if you don’t make progress the way you expect it.

Something to think about

I was speaking to a woman in her 60’s today and she told me about how she is active every day and though she doesn’t lose any weight she has a much better quality of life than many of her friends.
As a parent, one of the biggest gifts you can give yourself (and pass onto your children) is the habit of daily exercise and activity.

Workout of the Week

I call this 9 minutes in Heaven… it sucks

3 minutes of as many push ups you can do
3 minutes of as many squats you can do
3 minutes of as many biceps curls you can do

We use this in my fitness classes as a fit check periodically. Track your numbers and do it a few times a year to see your progress!
