My love for fitness and for giving back to the community came together today at the Beachbum Workout in Long Beach, MS. Justin Herring, from Beau Vie Fitness, is putting together fitness/charity events to help support the local community. Today's event was in support of Backpack Buddies of Long Beach, managed by my friend Lori Cripple.
Backpack Buddies is a program of the First United Methodist Church of Long Beach in conjunction with Long Beach School District to feed children on the weekend. Food is handed out each week, to children in need, because "hunger doesn't stop on Fridays!" I have supported Backpack Buddies in the past and when I saw the Beachbum Workout activity, it felt it was something I wanted to embrace.
Justin gave us a high-intensity workout with every squat imaginable, kettle bells, and ladder fire drills. The beach not only gave us added resistance with the sand, but also beautiful scenery to start our day! It was an all around great workout!
As an affiliate of Motts Applesauce, I am involved in supporting active families on the Coast. I was excited to share Motts Applesauce with Backpack Buddies and all the athletes at the workout!
I am looking forward to Justin's next event and more opportunities to help the community.
