Fitness Inspiration

Monday, January 19, 2015

Fitness is a huge part of my life, but I have never been one to stick with a gym membership, fitness class, or a strict regimen for any length of time. I like variety for my brain and my muscles. I believe I have found many outlets that can help boost my mind with some fitness inspiration. 

My fitness inspiration mostly comes from YouTube, Instagram, Bloggers, and previous programs I was a part of. All free programs because I am cheap! They keep me interested in running, yoga, HIIT, and body weight workouts. And I think the easiest way to keep fitness a part of your life is to remain interested. Without any fitness inspiration, you will likely grow bored of your standard routine. Broaden your daily fitness with some fitness inspiration from yours truly!

Fitness Inspiration

YouTube:
Zuzka Light has some great, short fitness routines. Talk about being able to get at least 5 minutes of fitness in each day. She also offers some longer HIIT routines or series that can help focus on particular exercises; ways to improve.

BodyRock has wonderful monthly series that will really test your mind and muscles. It is always fun to see how much stronger you are after sticking with a 30 day routine. 

Yoga with Adriene is one of my favorite channels to practice yoga. This month she has a series for 30 days of yoga. You can log-in each day and follow along with her yoga practice. 

Instagram:
Glisten Fit offers routines including weights, body weight, or even partner exercises. 

Achieving_Balance always has lovely photos and videos. The routines are great for on-the-go type people that may not have access to a gym. 

Bloggers:
Housewife Glamour recently started posting fitness routines. I have really been enjoying the new energy she offers to this whole fitness game. 

Treble in the Kitchen posts some amazing healthy eats. I know this entire post is about fitness, but eating healthy is an important part too!

Am I missing any good fitness inspirations? I would love to add some new ones to my list. 

Sweatin' Sunday*

Sunday, November 2, 2014

The sun set so damn early today, but really I can't complain because I was able to get an extra hour of sleep last night. Tell me I am not alone! And now that my brain is finally realizing that I am no longer on vacation anymore, I think it is time for me to get serious about fitness again. I figured since tomorrow is the first week of November, I might as well start now. 

Sunday's have always been my 'rest' day for fitness whenever I actually dedicate time to really workout and Saturday's are my cheat day for eating. So today I rested and yesterday I stuffed my face with as much food and beer as I possibly could. Until I could no longer sit comfortably in jeans. Then it was time to move on to yoga pants. 

The good little blogger that I am I know I am a major slacker right now but I am really trying, I decided I would share my weekly workout plans. And maybe, just maybe, I will share my food planning as well. All you have to do is ask and I will make that happen!
Follow along with me this week if you choose or just stock pile these workouts up if you need ideas in the future. You know, when you are no longer comfortable in your jeans and realize you can only wear yoga pants. Every. Single. Day. No judgement!

I would just like to mention, I have no personal training background. These are just exercises I like to do and have been successful in the past to help me to lean out. Use at your own risk! You've been warned.

Will you follow along? Also, where do you get your workout inspiration? I might need a little help.
