The flooding is gone and the mosquitos, humidity and heat are here! Confession: I love the heat and the humidity. Call me crazy, but I am in my element. I have been taking advantage of the weather for my workouts for sure. Even if it is high noon or 3pm, I will get my booty outside. The sun, heat and humidity doesn’t bother me, I just make sure I am hydrated. The mosquitos on the other hand…those things can just evaporate. Anyway…be sure to hydrate and eat a good breakfast like…

Thursday was my “active recovery day.” I really have to force myself to take a recovery day, so I compromise with myself by taking an “active recovery” day. This means instead of hitting the gym or box, I still do something physical, but I make it more “fun” (although the gym is fun for me). I usually rollerblade, bike, swim, hike, climb, kayak or SUP, the possibilities are endless. Whatever is fun for you and makes you move!
Yesterday, I skipped the actual gym again in favor of working out outdoors again. I set out a towel/mat in my driveway and set my timer and got to work!
