It's World Fitness Day!!

Let's celebrate the fact that we are able to get up each day and move our bodies.  The body never ceases to amaze me and all the things it can do and I love challenging myself and others to see it's full potential.
Maybe today will be like any other day for you as fitness and nutrition is already a part of your daily life, but maybe today is a new beginning.  Either way lets get moving.

Here is your challenge.  Complete all of the below, post on Facebook or Instagram and tag Inspiration Training after the completion of each part.  Everyone who completes the challenge will have their name entered into a  draw to win a $150 Zyia gift card.  Great chance to get some new workout gear!

Having some fun with the kids workout today.  Super impressed by this girl and her willingness to try everything I throw her way.  She is going to be one fit girl come September!!  Exercises are below. We did five rounds:  tire flip x 12; power overs x 40; skip 100x; shuffles x 20

Another one for the kids.  This game includes some hand eye coordination and lateral movements.  We had a lot of fun making this video and should have included all the bloopers.  Some how it turned into the limbo at one point which the kids had no idea how to do.  How times have changed.

The kids love seeing comments and small clips of your family playing the games so please share.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Isolation Challenge.  I appreciated all the nice messages and seeing everyone, even if it was just a short video or photo it was nice to see your faces.

The winner was supposed to be the person  who completed the most workouts and tagged Inspiration Training in a post.  Well, there were two people who messaged or posted everyday. Sue A. and Laurie S. 

Laurie I loved seeing your very cool workout back ground.  My favorite was the beach obviously.  You are such a role model your kids and to all the mom's of the world right now who have young kids trying to home school, entertain, cook, clean, and still look after yourself physically and mentally.
Sue, anyone who has worked out with you knows how vibrant you are.  You are so encouraging to everyone and bring so much energy even at 6am!  You managed to continue this through your posts.  I am sure your regular group is missing your energy and motivation.   Your shout out to me at the end of the challenge was so very kind. It is so nice to get this feedback. 

So I could split the FREE month, or, we could make it interesting and have a little competition between Laurie and Sue to earn it!!!

​Suggestions anyone????? Post them in the comments.
