Commitments
Relevance
I will commit to 30 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day of physical activity, watch my portions and eat healthy, and sleep for 8 or more hours.
This year I will strive to learn and do more pilates and prioritize exercise. Sitting down to teach for hours and to tutor students takes a toll on my lower back and posture. I am doing pilates daily for me and encouraging students to prioritize their health and well-being also. The best teachers are learners after all!
Run 1 mile or bike 5 miles daily and crank out 50 pushups
