Mango Coconut Energy Bars are an awesome snack that will keep you full and fuel you with great nutrition too!

  Power Bites, like the amazing ones Ruthie has provided above, call for a Power Workout and nothing says Power to me like Plyometrics. Plyometrics (plyos for short) are one of those wonderfully amazing things invented to make us stronger, more powerful, and all around amazing. They are also invented as cruel punishments for those that are late to football practice or don't clean their room.

Yes, these are hard, they are supposed to be hard! Hard is how we grow. Hard is how we get better. Hard is how we change. So do these hard and to them right!

This is another 10-1 workout. As a refresher for those that need it, a 10-1 workout requires that you complete all the moves 10 times, then all the moves 9 times, repeat until you have completed all the moves 1 time. If you are feeling awesome go ahead and take all those movements back up to 10.


Happy Fit Friday! 
Much Love and Peace~ Nichole and Ruthie
