. I don't know how anyone can live in a place where it's cloudy all the time. My energy level is looow when it's gloomy out, and it's hard to stay positive I find. Both myself and Duke are more likely to want to stay in bed than explore. But alas I am a grown up who prides myself on being active so I dig deep and drag both of our butts out to explore. 

A lovely dose of sunshine is exactly what we needed over the last few days to really perk up our moods and leave us feeling a little more inspired.It would appear the 10 days we spent without sun has really played a role in influencing my sartorial choices. The sky is blue the sun is out and I'm wearing a lot of grey. Oh well, this hat is just too damn comfortable, I basically live in it now. So if you see a pom pom bouncing along someone slowly jogging in the river valley, gimme a wave. It's never leaving my head until May.

Bosu is a great tool to use to build stability with clients, but it can be so much more than just a balance tool. I love using it in combination with weights, as well as using the surface of the bosu instead of the ground as it challenges your stability more.

1. Bosu Burpees 12x

Start from plank position, core tight, head up. Jump up so feet come outside bosu, jump straight up holding bosu above head

2. Push ups 12x

Ensure hands under shoulders, can do from knees, or toes. Keep core tight, bring chest down first and press straight up again

3. Mountain Climbers 12per leg

Extend one leg up and out fully, keep core tight not hyper extending low back, bring knee back in towards bosu 

4. Bosu sit up 12x

Have ball in hand, ensure low back is supported by bosu. Raise bosu above head and then press up only coming up slightly and then back down

5. Lateral Lunge to Side Raise 12per leg

Have one foot on bosu, bend into that leg have the weight in the opposite hand and bring the weight towards bosu, keeping chest up. Press into leg to straighten it and raise the weight out to the side.

I can`t believe I used to not wear pants. Let me clarify, I used to be very anti pants, a total dress and skirt kind of girl, pants were the devil. While I still do love the freedom and flow of a good skirt or dress, there is something equally as comforting as a good pair of jeans. These ones are super stretchy and always comfortable, even moreso then some leggings. They may be distressed looking but make me feel super put together at the same time. 

Also, is their anything more lovely thank a silky top. The most comfortable ever, and the flowy fit is great with a more structured jacket. This is definitely a go-to type of combination for me when I want to feel put together but still casual. Almost a sort of uniform I suppose, I love having pieces that interchange very easily. I feel like I`m always in a rush so the easier to dress, the better. 

Happy Wednesday! xo Jenna
