I think so 🤷🏼‍♀️ In full disclosure, I am not used to working out alone, without any guidance on the tiny form corrections or energy from trainers and athletes being in the same room. In the past 7 weeks I've formed a good little routine at home with @tracyandersonmethod's weekend lives ( because there's no excuse to be late or get distracted), a zoom live Ballet Beautiful class with gf's ( love the long and lean muscle focus) and the 💦 station of a Peloton ( I never thought I'd do interval training ever again 🚴🏼‍♀️🤯). Listen, I'd much rather eat all day buuuut let's not forget our bodies need the extra discipline considering how active that pantry is atm 😟Ankle weights are @bala How are you staying in shape?? #donutstop
