Summer Weekly Challenge ~ #3

Welcome to Week 3 of our Weekly Summer Challenge!
If you are just joining us, click here to see what we've been doing the last two weeks. 
For those of you who have been with us, GREAT JOB and keep up the awesome work! Think of all the good you are doing and how healthy you will feel!

This last week was a huge transition for me as we moved from China back to America. House was being packed plus airport and airplane food made both working out and eating right a challenge for sure, but you all motivated me to stay on track! Now we will be staying in a hotel, which also can pose temptations (free breakfast buffet!). However, I am looking forward to meeting the challenge head on and feeling more empowered for it! 
ARE YOU WITH ME?

We have already implemented cardiovascular fitness into our routine in week 1.
 Now it is time to add some STRENGTH TRAINING.
Don't be intimidated, we are NOT talking body building! It is a knowN fact that building muscle burns more fat, takes up less space, makes you stronger and healthier!
Read this fabulous article now to learn why we need to do this.
