I've got a confession to make.... I am a gym junkie!
I love everything about the gym: the sweat, hard work, cardio, weight training, classes, the cute workout gear -- I love it all! There was a period right after we moved where we had cancelled our gym membership at Lifetime Fitness simply due to distance. After a month or so, I was desperately craving the gym. I needed it. I found a gym close by my work, Sky Fitness in Midtown Tulsa. We signed up right away, and I'm hooked yet again. I look forward to going to the gym, it's my stress relief and my second home. I attend Zumba classes three days a week, plus a Hot Vinyasa class on Sundays. I head to the gym right after work and stay for two hours. Stephen is always by my side and before classes, we work on toning and weight training together. He's been a great teacher, showing me new techniques and helping me tone my problem areas. He is also my biggest motivator and supporter. I am so thankful we are able to workout together, it's been a great bonding experience for us as a couple.
Did you know that there's WAY more than just physical benefit of exercise? As if the physical benefits aren't enticing enough....Exercise has been proven to reduce stress, boost happy chemicals, improve self-confidence, alleviate anxiety, boost brainpower, sharpen memory, helps control addiction, and increases relaxation.
After a gym sesh, I feel empowered and unstoppable! The high I get after a workout is the most incredible feeling.

With each passing day, I notice that my strength and endurance is building. I never thought I'd be the girl who could do a yoga head stand (still working on perfecting it), be able to do push-ups, or have bicep muscles! I'm learning more each day and am excited to see more results over time. I am very thankful that I have a healthy and strong body that is able to try new things and push myself to new levels.
Xox,
