July Highlights

July is definitely the month of the birthdays as not only do we celebrate America's birthday, but Kiersten's and Ethan's as well.  I mean come on, when the birthdays are 3rd, 4th and 5th, that is definitely a reason to keep a celebration going.  Speaking of celebrating, July was a great month to celebrate all our Fitness Inspirers as everyone did a spectacular job of getting Fired Up and Spreading Sunshine!  Now on to the highlights for this month!

Cruisin down Route 66

Let's just say that traffic is getting a little heavy on Route 66 now that we are officially (more than) halfway through the year.  Following this month's workouts, we now have three more drivers feeding their need for speed as Jenny C, Elizabeth S and Megan M have merged on to Route 66!  People better be checking their rear and side view mirrors as we officially have traffic on our infamous Route 66!

Where my Prongs at?

July was technically a slightly shorter month as we started our programming following all the birthdays, but that didn't stop Fitness Inspirers from getting their workouts in!  Currently, we have had four Fitness Inspirers earn their crowns so far this year, and we have a few more who are getting so close to getting all five prongs.  This month, we saw Terri H, Cynthia T, Elizabeth S, Leanne F and Angie R get their prongs.  There will definitely be a lot more Fitness Inspired royalty coming real soon ;)  Bling Bling!

Fired Up and Spreading Sunshine

The temperature this month kept getting hotter and so we got even more Fired Up!  This month we focused on inspiring ourselves to push our limits even further, while, at the same time, spreading sunshine both inward and outward.  Inspirers were loving the surfing themed workouts, loving some lunges, and of course, our live in-person workouts in both State College and Grand Rapids.  It has been so good to get outside and work out (socially distant of course), that we are Fired up for more.

Our homework was no joke this month, and I think we can all say we may shudder when we hear the word ladder again.  Between the flying lunge ladders, the plank/knee to tri ladder and our Superman extension ladders, I think we can all agree we may want to keep both feet on the ground at all times next month ;)  While it was tough, it certainly got us ready for our post testing, so let's check some highlights!
