Summary

If you’re part of the giant throng that has been clamoring for a collab, which is short for “collaboration”, between Gretchin Rubin and Sir Mix-A-Lot, wait no further. Do you find yourself saying things like, “I really should go running” or “I really should eat more raw vegetables”, but the idea of doing either of those things fills you with dread? This summer we’re asking you to really question your habits and your mindset and look at the “why” behind why you’re doing certain things. Instead of focusing on what you think you should be able to do, we want you to focus on finding the things that you want to invest in. This is an opportunity to experiment and figure out what really brings joy and value into our lives and really moves the needle towards our weight loss and fitness goals. Plus, Donald rocks this way, Catherine rings a bicycle bell to burn calories, and learn why The Queen felt that Mr. Mix-A-Lot deserved to become Sir Mix-A-Lot.
