 Happy Fit Friday on this Memorial/Summer Kick Off Weekend! We are antsy to get outside and play, no school to worry about, and plenty of warmth coming our way. And we are starting the weekend off right with a healthy recipe from Ruthie and some fit tips from yours truly, I also might sneak in a short workout.

Let's talk a few healthy fit tips first:

1. Plan a wingman early on. Someone that is fitness and minded and will help you stay on the right track.

2. Take a healthy side dish to share with everyone.

3. Limit your alcohol intake. You don't need to spend the entire weekend drinking, its totally not worth it.

4. Drink lots of water. This will help with the snackage, the alcohol, and it will be warm outside.

5. Be sure to get your workout in. I will be heading out the The Remembrance Run 10k, my little guy will be heading out for a 1 mile race, and my hubbie will be heading to the Crossfit gym for Murph. You can also head out for a hike, bike ride, or other fun outside time either solo or with the family. If your weekend is just too jam packed keep on reading for a short Tabata workout to sneak in early.

Quick Tabata reminder; Tabata is an all out interval workout. Each round is 4 minutes of 20 seconds on with a 10 second breather.


Happy Fit Friday!! 
Love always, Nichole, Ruthie, & Madeliene
