What’s On Your Bucket List?

“As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.”  ~Leonardo da Vinci

What’s on the list of things you HAVE to experience before you die?  Better yet…is there something you would really, really love to do before this year is over.  Before your next birthday.  Before you turn 40.  For example, I’m going skydiving on my 50^th birthday.  Having a goal, a BIG event ahead of you will get you out of bed and to the gym even on those days when it’s easy to talk your self out of going.  Today, I asked the people in my morning Power Sculpt class to weigh in with what’s on their list. What gets them to the gym on the hard days.
