A workout fit for a queen…… NOT!

Today was Queens Birthday Holiday in Melbourne. I love Public Holidays, it only means one thing for me. Training!! I love the gym because it is so quiet, even driving to the gym is a breeze, no traffic.  And not to mention the coffee afterwards! So no traffic + quiet gym + coffee = AWESOME DAY!

 

Like the title of the post, a workout fit for a queen…… NOT!  Is so true,  I can not even imagine a queen  doing this workout.  However, anyone with active gear and a towel and willing to work hard can do this workout.  It is a great start to your week.  Remember, never miss a Monday!!!
