Winter Shape Up 2018: Week 2

Hi friends! Welcome to Week 2 of this yearโ€™s challenge! While I look forward to putting together the workouts for you during each Shape Up (and filming the videos!) the best part by far is the community that it creates. Itโ€™s pretty incredible to see women (and dudes!) all over the world, cheering each other on and supporting everyoneโ€™s fitness goals. Our Facebook group has been a blast so far, and Iโ€™m excited to pop in with a couple of surprise Live Workouts along the way. Itโ€™s not too late to join in the fun if youโ€™d like to Shape Up with us! All of the details are here.

  12. Katie on January 23, 2018 at 7:41 am

    Feeling under the weather today, but since my alarm was already set, I made it to my normal Tuesday kickboxing class anyway. I feel marginally better after making it through class – lets hope it lasts!

  34. Katie on January 24, 2018 at 8:07 am

    Fighting off this head cold and can’t breathe very well so cardio is out. But movement still feels OK so I got in some mobility work this morning and a little bit of strength.
