6 ways I stay balanced and #BOSUStrong!

If you forgot to join me last week for the #BOSUStrong challenge or just weren’t up for the cardio, make sure you join me this week as it’s all about the balance!

We’re standing on one leg, lunging, and BOSU squatting our way through the week.

But balance means more than just being able to stand on one leg, it also means being able to do what you love while making healthy choices at the same time. It means putting in the work and still finding time for puppy snuggles. Or eating the fro-yo with extra sprinkles but balancing it out with some dark, leafy greens. Or BOSU squats (workout) and BOSU spider push-ups (workout) at home when you can’t make it to the gym.

Here are my fave ways to stay balanced – what are yours?

• I make time for myself by shutting down my computer and phone and getting lost on the trails with my dog!
• My favorite me time is when I’m on the trails or my mat, drenched in sweat.
• My rule when it comes to a balanced diet is that its all about balance! Don’t skip the stuff you love, just eat it (drink it) in moderation.
• I make fitness a priority by setting my alarm before sunrise so I have no excuses! 
• When I get stressed or overwhelmed, my go to is grooving to some good beats on my yoga mat. Nothing like some handstand practice to ward off stress and negative energy! 
• I do lead by example to help my family stay balanced.

How do you stay balanced? And what are your favorite ways to test your balance on your BOSU?

Stay sweaty friends!
