Loving Some Cardio

Sarah and I finally had a little gym time together so we decided to take advantage of it and hit the cardio area.

Just have to say I LOVE CARDIO!

Why? Because...

It takes away my migraines

Takes my mind off of everything that i worry about

Helps me to have more energy

Makes me happier

and overall makes me feel great

We did the elliptical for 25 minutes and then split up

Sarah did rowing for 10 minutes

I did the stair climber for 10 minutes

Sarah has a new found love for rowing but I'll let her tell you why another day. 

Isn't she looking great though?!
