Ahh, love how working out prepares you for life!

Me My Husband

I took a few days off and went skiing with my family up at Stowe, VT.  It was a great trip!  The weather was cold, but not unbearable!  The skiing, was just fabulous!

I have to say, after 30 days of Chalean Extreme, I was so ready to hit the slopes!  Chalean Extreme really had me fit and ready to go.  All her leg work had my legs strong to push myself everyday.  All the cardio I was doing had me ready to endure 6-8 hours of good skiing!

I wore a heart rate monitor one day, why, because I can.  I learned that in 6 hours of skiing, I can burn 1500 calories!  And, surprisingly, my heart rate was in a fairly decent range most of the day!

If you ask yourself every morning, why do I workout?  Why do I get up early and do this?  Well, let one of your answers be to enjoy life to the fullest!  To take your love of fitness outside and enjoy the world.  To be fit and healthy to enjoy that time with your friends and family!  

Tomorrow, I plan on getting up early and moving on!  It's time to start phase 2 of Chalean Extreme.  I'm one step closer to my goal.  At least my goal for the moment.  My goals change as my body changes.  I just keep setting a new attainable goal, hit and move on to the next one.  

I wish everyone out there would decide to join me!  Make a commitment to change your life one day at a time.  Why, because I know you can!  And, I know you can achieve everything you want!
