Today was snowy outside. I spent the morning looking at the snow out the window, then decided to get outside to enjoy the fresh snow. Walking in the cold air was so refreshing!

I have recently added bird dogs and glute bridges to my weekly routine. I am finding that I have less discomfort and n my lower back after my walks. I believe this small addition has made a big change for me.

Today, even though I’m getting over the flu, I was able to do 30 minutes of low intensity Zumba. It felt good to move.
