Not sure how to workout on the road?…..Give this a try!
I’m in Pullman for the next few days, and without access to kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells……what the heck am I going to do??!!!!

Swap the gym for some fresh air
This month has been all about the workouts! I realized today that most of them have been in the gym when in fact my favorite way to get the heart rate up and challenge the body is actually outside on a mountain. Hiking has always been something I loved to do, but when I found…
