1. Workout I am doing… I am currently doing resistance training three days per week and cardio training three days per week. The cardio I am doing varies between rowing and running.

1. Quote I love… “To get what we’ve never had, we must do what we’ve never done.” We are in unprecedented times. The future is uncertain.

1. An Important Video Message… 2. Something I’ve been doing more (I did it this morning)… We often don’t appreciate feeling good… until we feel bad.
