July Highlights

July is definitely a month of birthdays as not only do we celebrate America's burthday, but Kiersten's and Ethan's as well.  I mean come on, when the birthdays are the 3rd, 4th and 5th, there is definitely a reason to keep a celebration going!!  Speaking of celebrating, July was a great month to celebrate our Fitness Inspirers who did a spectacular job of getting Fired up.  Let's check out what happened!

Route 66

While the summer months are generally a time for vacations and increased traffic, this month our Fitness Inspired community decided to stick to the speed limits, and watch our driving output.  We had a lot of people already cruising increase their yearly totals, and those who joined us later in the year, start getting closer to that 66 milestone!

Holy Prongs Batman!

July was a slightly shorter month as we began our programming after all the celebrations, and ad a long weekend thrown in, but we still had some royalty get some great workouts in.  Congrats to Jim H for getting his fifth prong of 2021 and earning that FI crown!!  Woot woot, playing all that pickleball on top of your FI workouts really made a difference, and it showed!

Fired Up!

The temperature this month kept getting hotter which gave us an even better chance to get all Fired Up!  However, ever since Jim H mentioned that during the workouts, when Kiersten is positioned in front of the fired up banner, all he sees is Fred from the UP, we can't think of Fired up the same way again!  However, even with Fred's appearance, we had some great and innovative workouts, and it has been great to be in-person consistently again.
Looking at this month's homework, I can't even stand the sight of a ladder!  Even though we only had to do these ladders up to 5, our legs were screaming this month!  Fired up squats, flying lunges, planks (with bringing our knees up to our tris) and then Superman really pushed our lower body.  Now let's see what happened:
