The only way to get where you want to go is to start from where you are. Not where you want to be. Not where you think you should be. Not where you wish you were. Not where others think you should be, but where you are.

Eat Well
A recent study showed questionable links about weight management; this is important because the message our kids are receiving is tinted by the weight-loss industry. Weight management is impacted by many factors. Let's make sure our kids understand what they are hearing and reading.

Let's move!
Short but not necessarily sweet: this EMOM sandwich will get you to the finish line quickly. Remember: EMOM is every minute on the minute you'll do the moves as indicated, and AMRAP is as many reps as possible.

The first EMOM is 10 long jumps and 10 side leaps.
The AMRAP is a ladder: 1 v-up, 1 push-up, 2 v-ups, 2 push-ups, ... adding a rep of both each round.
The second EMOM is 5 star jumps, 5 squat jacks, 5 jacks and 5 Seal jacks. I challenge you to add one rep of each minute.
Repeat the same AMRAP.
