Outdoor Workout – Taking Advantage of Warmer Weather
Living in the Midwest has taught me a lot of things. Like how to dress in subzero temperatures (a lesson I wish I didn't have to learn) and how to sufficiently scrape ice off of my windshield. But perhaps the biggest lesson I've learned is to never waste a sunny day. If the sun is out, and it's above fifty degrees, I will do everything I can to fit in an outdoor workout.

While I'm not discrediting the value in fitness and maintaining a healthy body (inside and out), I feel like these pressures are something I have completely conjured up in my own mind.
