That’s all she wrote, ladies! This was a pretty solid workout. I definitely preferred the warm up without a rest. If you’d like to see more or anything in particular, please let me know in the comments below.
I think short workouts are fantastic because you get to move on with your day and you still have time for other important things! There was a time where I’d workout for hours. To me, that was beyond the point of mental release and became exhausting. Every now and then I really enjoy a solid hour yoga class, but not daily;)
