1. Testimony before the trip -Keysi Cordero Hello everyone!!! On July 16th, 2015 a team and I will be going to Chiang Mai, Thailand to share the Love of Jesus! Here's a little bit of how all of this unfolded and the things the Lord did and still is doing, in order for this trip to happen: This year the Lord put in my heart to start saving money, in my head I was like yeah... I really need to because lately I've been wasting my money unwisely (Movie theater at least once a week, dining out on weekdays etc.) But in reality the Lord had something else in store for me and I didn't understand yet. I started saving money with the idea of going to France in the summer since I was going to start my French program this fall and thought it would be good to come back with more knowledge of the language and culture, yet the doors were totally shut! The french courses weren't available for the Spring or Fall, I was told I might not be able to keep my position at work...

My experience at Cyclebar (indoor cycling studio)

A Brief Overview on Fitness   So I've always disliked gyms... I haven't been to a gym since 2014. Not my style, not something I'm into at all! I played soccer my whole life or danced, and this was literally how I stayed fit and healthy for years. When I moved to the city, it was much harder to play outside or ride my bike to school. I've always been conscious of my eating habits, and the fact that I needed to do something in regards to my physical health. I took yoga this summer with my best friend and it was truly a blast! However, I didn't feel like I was sweating enough, or burning enough calories. I was worried about what my future in fitness would look like, especially with my upcoming wedding & getting closer to winter time, which limits you from any outdoor physical activities. How I got plugged in I saw different ads about Cyclebar, and I didn't really consider it till I saw that one of my classmates from high school was an instructor the...
