Instagram saw it first- I created a FREE downloadable fitness tracker for November to help me plan out my workouts and make sure I schedule active rest days. Plus, the Holiday season is here and work is only getting busier. I don’t want to fall into a the “I’m too tired to workout” groove. So, this is a way for me to not only write out ahead of time what I’m going to do- even if it’s the week of/ before- but, I’m placing this on the bulletin board in my room. I see this every morning I wake up and this will help motivate me to get to the gym on those cold and snowy days (like today).

suburban chicago specialty workouts/ events this month:

I LOVE the Chicago fitness and health/ wellness scene. We have a plethora of options- you’ll never run out of things to do in the city or suburbs. Plus, no matter your fitness preference, you’ll find a workout that excites you and helps to reach your goals. I’m including a few of the events that caught my eye this month. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make most of these, but they sound fun and I’m hoping someone else reading this can go! Plus, how fun to bond with friends, family or a significant other this way!

Sacred Cacao + Abundance Flow

Essencia yoga studio in wheaton

Saturday, November 23, 2019
7:00 PM 9:00 PM

Cacao, or chocolate in its purest form, is one of the most powerful plant medicines to work with. It can gently guide us toward a stronger connection with our higher Self. Cacao is a spiritual heart opener that raises our vibration and offers us an ABUNDANCE of bliss! Not to mention, it’s absolutely delicious.

During Sacred Cacao + Abundance Flow, you will drink a warm cup of cacao with intention, then Lisa will guide you through a heart opening meditation to move into an abundance flow state. Movement will be juicy and slow; accessible to all levels. We’ll finish with a guided relaxation + a deeply healing Savasana to leave you feeling blissful, connected, and ready to enter a season of gratitude.

Helpful Apps + Tools:

Strava

I love the Strava app for running. I’m able to synch up to my lululemon run club, and add my miles to our group goal, and see the routes my friends are running near me! Plus I find this has been the most accurate in tracking my time, distance, and doesn’t glitch.
