I am so jealous of all the moms out there who have their kids off to the school year already. Yet I don’t want to wish away the summer or time off with my kids just yet.
I know, once we are in the thick of it, I will be longing for the ease of the summer days. But right now I am craving structure. And this is coming from someone who enjoys flying by the seat of my pants.
No, I’m not talking about ‘flying on a fitness high”, although the irony is there. But the unexpected nature that this season is known for has run its course, has been a lot of fun but now I’m ready.
Bring it on!
Bring what on, you ask?
A fitness challenge of course.
Ha. I didn’t mean to mention it yet but it’s on my brain & I’m so ready. So I will share I have a challenge for you in my back pocket. And although I am still working out the logistics, I know for sure it’s going to start on Monday, September 17th.
So mark your calendars and be ready to commit to 15 minutes a day for 14 days.
Seriously, it’s going to be a lot of fun and all about ME. That means YOU!
Yes, I'm calling it the
Back-To-Me Fitness Challenge...
...because when the kiddies go back to school, we need to re-engage, re-evaluate and recharge our batteries for the Fall Season to come.
Why? Because it’s my favorite season of all and this is the big one…the holiday season will be here before you know.
Don’t get mad at me. I’m not rushing things. I’m just keeping it realistic.Because you and I both know if we don’t have our act together we will get swept up in the moment and our fitness life will get lost in the end of the year shuffle.
I’m not going to let that happen. So again, mark your calendar for September 17th and I will send you more details in the weeks to come.
Until then, enjoy the end of the season & beginning of a new one and we will talk again soon.
Love,
Janine

New Dance Fitness Workout Video
Inspired by “Havana” Camila Cabello ft. Young Thug
I wanted to finish off the summer with this smooth Latin influenced song but instead of a cardio dance routine it’s drenched with barre inspired moves. Don’t think for a moment you won’t be sweating. It will challenge your muscles in a whole new way, so grab a towel and let’s go!
The Moves:
- 4 Pulse 2nd Position Plies (with ballet arms) optional: heel raise
- Simple 2nd Plies with Full Arm Circles
- Reverse Lunge Alternating with Attitude Front Leg Sweep
- Barre Jacks
- Moving Tree Pose 3x into Cross Back Chasse
Have FUN!

Featured Workout of the Week:
emBODY - Total Body
If you are already in the back to school swing of things or want to jump start the challenge this is a GREAT all-in-one workout. It may only be 15 minutes in length but it will get your heart pumping, legs working and tone your upper body/core.
