I have been busy testing our newest app that is coming out soon! Very exciting!!! It is called Challenging Circuits. Believe me, I already got emails from some of my testers and they are challenged by the new app: a mix of hand weight and body weight exercises. Users can create an all body weight workout, an all hand weight workouts, or a mix of both. The exercises are all a “notch” above. Still showing modifications so exercisers can adapt the moves and still be challenged. Stay tuned! Follow us on Facebook or Twitter to get fitness/wellness articles and news.

Remember when you were younger and decided: “I want to get better at ______ (math, tennis, reading, singing, playing the guitar, swimming, cooking…).” You knew you would have to work at it. To reach your goal, you had to create a new habit and make time for practice. Getting fit works the same way. You are still the same determined person. You did not question having to put some effort into your endeavor. And you did not make up excuses to avoid reaching your goal. You did not sabotage yourself. It was the task at hand. You truly wanted it. Dig inside and find the reasons why you want to be fit. The New Year is coming; start early, commit to a new habit before Thanksgiving, and you will feel “on your way.”
Exercise! That is what all the experts are saying to control your weight, get a hold of your life, and manage your stress. Most people do not know what to do. Join a gym. Yes, but what if you hate the gym and find yourself making up excuses to not go. The excuses appease your mind, making not exercising legitimate.
“Hey, look at me! I’m a great mother who has no time to work out because my children need to go to their activities, and I have to drive them.” So you sit on your butt more!

Then you do a crash diet that is so extreme that you cannot sustain it for long because you have cravings. And you are hungry. Stop this madness. Connect with Remix Workouts. You will change your life. You may repeat the circuit 2 more times. You know you have to move it!
