How This Boxing Studio Co-Founder Fills Her Own Cup

This week aSweatLife is partnered with N!CK’S, the first and only light ice cream that is actually, truly, creamy. N!CK’s is a Swedish brand that believes healthfulness shouldn’t compromise flavor. Spoon-soft and never icy, N!CK’S has no added sugar and only 220-360 calories per PINT. That means you get a compromise-free healthy and TASTY treat, without the calories. And it’s the perfect way to start summer.

Welcome to the Daily Distance, a new daily series from the creators of #WeGotGoals. In these short episodes, we’re bringing you one daily goal you can set for yourself during this chaotic time- one actionable thing you can do to move your body, connect with a friend, prioritize your mental health, get some work done, and practice a little bit of self-care.

Felicia Alexander is the co-founder of BoxUnion, a boxing studio that pairs beats with punches so that you box to the beat, bringing a whole new challenge to an already tough workout. Today, she’s recommending taking the time to fill your own cup, especially by spending time with yourself in the mornings. We talk about her morning routine, how neither of us is a front-row candidate for any SoulCycle class, and more.
