Karen's Fitness Corner
Helping you reach your goals. The sky is the limit. Building Champions.
It's been a long time since I've had consistent activity on this page. I am getting rebooted and rewired for keeping myself inspired and committed to activity and movement in my day. This page is meant to be an inspiration and a source of encouragement to stay active and move the only body you are given.
More posts to come.

Slept through your alarm & didn't make it to the gym this morning? Battling a full day? Take 5-10 min to get that blood pumping! Your metabolism will rev & keep your body burning more calories throughout the day! Only have a quick couple minutes at lunch-- complete 5x, want the full whammy-- complete 10x! For a challenge- raise those arms way overhead on your squats!

Guilty. I hate cross training. But I can't get around it.
The Pool. My sworn enemy. Ok that may be a little over exaggeration, but the last thing I want to do at 6:30 or 7am is get in the pool (I have nightmares of morning practice from my college diving days).
I had to tell myself to suck it up. And my body is thanking me.
Have you tried changing it up and adding in a pool day? Why try?
-Less pressure on your joints
-Reduction in swelling in an injured area (the pressure of the water will assist in fluid movement, moving swelling out of the injured area
-Easier movement, and mobility gains (water supports and assists movement)
-Gain or maintain cardiovascular health without straining injured or overused joints and muscles

No time for the gym today. But that's been my excuse or too long. In honor of yesterday's milestone of 100 likes... 100 burpees in the backyard! You up for the challenge? (Substitute push ups for rows if you don't have a band!)
When you’re scared but you take the next step anyway, that’s bravery.
Make the best out of every situation. Face the world head on. The only thing standing in the way of you and your dreams is you.
It's not easy to turn the mirror on ourselves when we get frustrated with life's twists and turns. But we are so much more powerful than we think.
Be thankful for the times that challenge you.
What's challenging you today?
