Tabata Power Max 30

Tabata Power Max 30 today!!! Feeling whooped on and awesome at the same time! I am in 💙 again!!! Why did I wait so long to start this one? I will tell you... I was scared and had my doubts and now here I am enjoying this so much. Talking with a dear friend of mine about all the excuses we tell ourselves and our off starting something and then thinking where we could be if we just had started or took the opportunity when it first presented itself.... Can you imagine where we would be? Get comfortable with being uncomfortable and we can all surprise ourselves. #getstartednow #hushtheexcuses #betterlatethannever #letsgetstartedtogether #wecandoit #evenwhenwethinkwecant #noexcuses
