jennie shares her tips for reaching your fitness goals

1/9/2021

Admit it, our body feels so good after a workout. Whether it be Pilates or Yoga, a brisk walk or long run, a strength training session or a Sweat Therapy class, our body is meant to move. Be good to it and it will return the gratitude with a stronger heart, clearer mind, and fitter physique. The longer you stick with exercise, the more habitual it becomes. When you miss a day, you develop a craving for it, which helps you jump right back in the following day- and the next.

The number one way to reach your goal is to keep on moving. Never give up, ever.
