Have you already missed a workout? No guilt, no shame, it’s only day 3 and you still have an entire week of workouts ahead of you to benefit from.
Here at The Balanced Life we’re all about ditching the “all or nothing” mentality and as soon as you take the pressure off of yourself to be “perfect,” it’s easier to stick with it.
So just jump right back in today and let’s keep moving forward!
Today I’m leading you through a lower body Pilates workout designed to tone, strengthen, and lengthen so that you can experience the same thing.
In just 15 minutes, you’ll work your entire lower body: toning your legs, sculpting your booty, and strengthening your pelvic floor. This is a perfect go-to routine when your lower body needs a lift.
I’m willing to bet you have a lot going on in your life. A lot of good things, but also a lot of hard things. Things that weigh on your mind and leave you feeling uneasy or unsettled.
Our Mindfulness Assignment for day 3 is going to help you focus on the positive today. Because even when life is hard, there is always something to be grateful for.
