Spring Break is right around the corner! Here’s some workouts to get you ready for whatever this fun week off entails!
You don’t have to go and workout like crazy, whatever you do is something, as long as it makes you feel good!
First stop: Mentally getting ready! Your mind is a part of your body! Finish all your work so you don’t have to worry about it over break. Try attending a yoga class to not only ease any pre-travel jitters, but to become more connected with your inner self. The confidence you can build by attending yoga is really rewarding. Plus, those stretches can help with your cannon-ball jumps at the pool over break!
