Ayurvedic Lifestyle

I've been listening to loads of interesting podcasts recently, and learning all sorts of things from them.

Proud of my small steps!

So for the last week every day, bar one I think, I have done the 5 minute mini workout. 5 squats, 5 lunges, 5 push ups, 5 calf raises and 5 tricep dips. Simple and easy, and I achieved it!
