Keep talking........

The power of the spoken word! No I will not be 'preaching to you' but rather will share a little of my morning with you. If you are at all like me, you love to get to know people and as a consequence, love to chat!
Today 2 women were working out at the studio next to one another. One on the treadmill and one on the bike. They sparked up a conversation about the amazing opportunities us Portlanders have and before you know it both of them got more than 30 minutes of cardio!
As a nice bonus for them, they were able to give themselves a little extra challenge throughout their exercise and worked even harder then normal. They also burned a few more calories then normal too! So this week take this challenge to heart, try exercising with a friend or strike up a conversation with the one next to you at the gym. You will be amazed how much more energy you will be putting into that 30 minutes. Have fun and keep talking!
