The Thang: The main idea behind this workout is balancing the tough work through which we love to put ourselves with moments of self-care and reflection. We’ll either burn out or harm ourselves in other ways when we’re pushing too hard all the time. In this workout, we’ll kick ass in the cardio and core sections but frame it with slow stretches that prepare and thank our bodies for the hard work!

COT: We all have to find time to slowdown and care for ourselves, listening to our individual needs. Our bodies, minds, and souls work hella hard, and that’s awesome, but if we don’t take time to slow down, we’ll hurt ourselves, physically, and emotionally.
