Fitness Goal

My fitness goal is to become a stronger and more flexible dancer by exercising, toning and stretching every day that I do not have dance rehearsal.  Dancing is one of my passions so a fitness goal geared towards becoming better will greatly "increase my happiness."

Ways to accomplish goal:

1. Stretch for 15 minutes every night before I go to bed. (7 nights a week)

2. Get to dance class early and warm up beforehand and stretch.

3. Do pilates/yoga twice a week for 20 minutes. (Tuesday and Friday)

4. Do strengthening exercising (working with my theraband, lifting small weights, crunches, push-ups etc.) three times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Thursday)
