Who is the inspiration for your workout?

Many of us are told to work out for ourselves, that working out is a great gift to give oneself.  And it is. Don't get me wrong.  But today as I was doing sit-ups I thought of my cousin who just lost her dad.  And then those sit-ups got faster and my whole mindset got more intense with each exercise.  Try dedicating a workout to someone.  It may give you surprising inspiration to go harder, faster, and with more intention.

Today's Workout
