Hope everyone is out enjoying this beautiful day! I walked 4 miles with some girlfriends early this afternoon. What did you do?

SPRING BREAK IS HERE!

I know it's a much needed break from your normal routine, and a break from me, but don't take an all out vacation from your exercise. Since I won't be around next week, I challenge you to try some new things on your own. Here's some suggestions:

*If you're on the beach (Ed), do some walk/run or walk/jog intervals on the sand.

*If you're somewhere in the mountains, run up some hills.

*If you're at spa resort, see if they offer yoga classes. If not, buy a yoga video and do it in your hotel room.

*If you're in Dallas (SW), do something different: head to the track for some sprints; go run bleachers; swim some laps; or ride your bike around the lake.

*If you're bored, go play golf, shoot some hoops or play tennis. Just do something that will get you moving.

I'm giving you guys permission to take a break from weight lifting, as it's good to give your body a regeneration period/break.

Enjoy!

NBC appearance

A couple weeks ago, NBC came to Cooper and took pictures of spring fitness gear trends. You can find all this gear at The Coop in the Cooper Fitness Center. My favorite is the thriv top below...

Thriv is one of my favorite brands - it's made from bamboo and organic cotton! The shorts are from Lululemon, another one of my favorite brands. Check out NBC's website to see other spring trends from The Coop.

Get moving and have a wonderful day ;)
