So, I’m must say I’m making some progress on getting my fitness groove back. ~The crowd roars~ It’s week two since I started my own fitness challenge and I’m down two inches and 4lbs! Who knew I’d get results that quick? I didn’t do anything drastic, but exercise more than my lazy two times a week that I was doing. I say lazy, because I was in the steam room most of that time then really working it out like I used to. I doubled it up with four times a week and drank loads more water. I’m trying to get to gallon a day again. I’m glad to be back on track. Now that I’ve started exercising again I feel energized and can’t wait until the next time.
I’ve been enjoying long vigorous nature walks in the park, in addition to my new fitness routine in the gym and with my trainer. You’ll get a peek of it below!
This week my work out will include a mix of yoga DVD (Essence of Flow Vol. 1) , cardio, and my most favorite of all Abs! Who Hoo..If I say it enough maybe I’ll believe it. LOL
Here’s this week’s tips from my trainer, Justice.
“The key to a good work out is good preparation. Proper footwear is the first step. Any foot apparel store can link your exercise to the appropriate footwear.
Comfortable clothing is the next step. I know it is hard, but think from before fashion. Nowadays you can get fashionable clothing that is cute and functional.
Most seasoned fitness persons will stretch/warm up for at least 15 minutes before a work out.” Justice
Hey, I know it’s hard to stay on a fitness routine consistently, but when trying to stay fit you need to surround yourself with positive and motivated people. Leave your friends at Cinnabon and McDonalds this time around and join us, so that we can keep each other motivated!
I hate to even admit this, but I actually coined the term, “Cinnabon Runs.”
When I lived in NY, my girls and I would go for a “Cinnabon Run” after a stressful day, chat it up there, and stuff our faces. It’s been a few years since Cinnabons have tasted good to me though. Now its tooooo sweet. I’ve made a slow shift towards eating better and I guess my taste buds aren’t as sugar-starved as they used to be when I was addicted to Cocoa Krispies and Cinnabons. Now, I not gonna lie, I‘m still working on Starbucks. I only went ONCE last week, so that’s an improvement! LOL I look forward to the steam room now as stress reliever, no longer Cinnabon runs. I know they say its not realistic to go cold turkey, so I’m trying, I really am!
You can’t do it alone and neither can I. I appreciate you all. Let’s do it together people!
