It’s here! I know, finally right? It’s time for the mini trampoline workout challenge. And up until now I have been telling you that it’s going to be a very simple challenge and it is. My goal with this challenge is just to help you get started rebounding. Exercise on the mini trampoline is a great workout and I want you all to experience it.
This week was OK, I didn’t do as much exercise as I had hoped but I feel like I’m getting more running in which I need. I am stressing so bad over this running because I cannot imagine running the 1/2 marathon YET. I run about 4-5 of the one minute intervals and then I start wheezing and feel like I can’t breathe and then I cry which makes it worse. I usually am very good at keeping my breathing under control when I workout but with the running it’s so difficult. Just hoping it gets better! So here are my workouts for the week.
Happy Friday!

Have you ever tried a pomegranate?
I love Pomegranates! Although a bit messy when opening (cover yourself in something you don’t mind getting stained ha ha), I love the little arils inside. They are yummy on frozen yogurt, oatmeal and much more. You can find a lot of great recipes on the POM Wonderful website.
Just adding a little extra exercise here and there can really make a difference. This week my ‘little extra’ was adding 10 more stability ball crunches from the totals the week before. So instead of 50 I did 60 stability ball crunches.
