Commitments
Taking steps and stretches daily, would be my challenge.
My goal for this month is to become more physically active and specifically go to the gym at least 2 days a week for a minimum of 30 minutes.

@katpash You've got this! It's hard at first finding a good spot scheduling -wise but give it some time. I truly disliked waking up and working out right away at first, but once I got into the rhythm of it, it really made my days a lot better.
Thank you Christi!
Great work Jaymee! It definitely gets trickier to find the time for working out, working, and taking care and spending time with our families. I recently had to switch up my schedule and have been struggling to get my workout back in a spot that works for me. Good luck and great work!
