Spring break is here! My kids are celebrating while I am looking at my calendar trying to figure out what is staying and what is going for the week. I think most of it can stay, with a little finesse. We are staying in town, at least for now but my brain is thinking of a quick possible get away, so life shouldn't be too crazy. Plus it gives me a dry run for summer. What is great this year is that we seem to be on a pretty good schedule with my bonus girls, this is a first and allows for much better planning.  I still need to make sure I have a great workout in my pocket that is doable at home and not too time consuming.

After all, summer will soon be here and now is not the time to skip workouts. So let's look at our high energy workout for this spring break.


As we are heading outside and enjoying some sunshine remember to grab those water bottles as you head out the door. We often get out of the habit during the cold winter months, it is time to start remembering.

Happy Spring Breaking!

Happy Easter! 
Much Love & Peace~ Nichole and Ruthie
