One Editor's Honest Thoughts on Whether the F45 8-Week Challenge Is Worth It

There were a few hurdles relating to the challenge while I was on holiday in Italy during week four. Firstly, I almost didn't sign up for the challenge at all because I knew I would be away for a week right in the middle of it, but — hard truth time — there will never be a convenient time to start a new healthy routine. Never. The hard part is ditching the excuses and the perfectionist mentality (ahem, guilty as charged) and doing the best you can.

I took it pretty easy while on vacation but did lots of walking, hiking, swimming (more like frolicking in the ocean, but that counts, surely?), and relaxing. I also ate a lot of pasta and bread. Bliss.
