Introduction
This is a friendly reminder to take these workouts at your own pace! It’s okay to approach these workouts in a safe and slow way until you feel comfortable and confident to push yourself a little more.
Remember to go at your own pace, pausing as needed (especially to check your BG!)
Any action is better than no action, and we are here for you every step of the way! Let’s go Beyond Barriers and improve our fitness together.
