Mountain-Inspired MotivationAndrew Hughes had plans to tackle a back-to-back climb of Mount Everest and Lhotse this spring, but COVID-19 nipped that idea. Though devastated, he's maintained focus and set his sights on reaching his fitness goal in the future. About his five-minute mountain inspired motivation burst he created for Total Beauty readers, he says, "Seeking a small daily fitness summit and elevating your heart rate doesn't need to take long or require a lot beyond you and your willingness to summit motivation mountain. Body weight exercises can be adapted easily to make them easier or harder and best of all can be done anywhere, from our basements to Everest Base Camp."
