Summer shape-up challenge!

Remember back to our Spring Break challenge in March?  Remember how fun it was - all of us doing mini workouts together yet all over the globe (literally) and sending the "proof" via Facebook pictures? Well, since then we've had countless requests for that blog to be re-posted.  Will we post it again?  Not particularly   But what we will do is bring you this brand spanking fresh & new five-day at home fitness challenge curiosity of the one and only, Molly Doyle, our Fitness MD!

Here's me back in March keeping my commitment to the Spring Break challenge in Mexico

For those of you that are new, here's the detes.  All of these workouts are meant to be done anywhere, at anytime AND this time we invited the kiddos.  It's juniors month here so no post will be without having them in mind too.  The can simply support you via stroller or can play along too!

Throughout the five days we will post the workouts again on Facebook and pictures to go along.  We'd LOVE you to take your own pics and tag - #PN #FitnessMD or simply post on either of our pages that you did the SSMD {Summer Shape-up MD} workout.  Fun, huh?
