I can see where this is a fantastic idea for some........just not for me. There's no way I could focus on a fitness class while knowing there's a Cinnabon store just yards away from me. There's no doubt that all my gains would quickly be wiped out. It's just a given that I can no longer go to Southgate Mall without making a stop for some ooey-gooey cinnamon roll goodness. At this point it's become a mental thing - like being a kid and not stepping on a crack or I would break my momma's back. It's the same idea.......I just have to stop at Cinnabon or I believe bad things will happen in the universe.

But for those with a little more willpower, Southgate Mall is offering a pretty cool summer workout program on Wednesdays and Saturdays. If you've found it to be a struggle to stay motivated in these wild times we live in, perhaps a little group motivation in an outdoor setting can get you back in the swing of things. The first class is scheduled for August 5th.

All the details about the Summer Sweat Series at Southgate Mall are below. You can find additional info on the Facebook event page HERE.
