You can find me at the gym daily, as I am now a gym rat. I switch between dancing, running, and working the weights. I try to eat clean, but I am not perfect on that aspect yet. It’s all about moderation! I love the adrenaline of a good workout, and I find myself happier and healthier by doing the things that I love. I am currently a fitness coach for children, and I plan on getting my Zumba certification in the near future.

It’s all about the baby steps and having a great support system.

Core Exercises

These 4 exercises are great for strengthening your core. I do them at least 3x a week after my training run. 

 Do each one for the prescribed number of reps or hold count: 

 1. Plank with Side Step x 10 reps on each leg. 

 2. Runner’s Crunch x 10 reps on each side. 

 3. Seated Twists x 15 reps on each side. 

 4. Swimming x 30 seconds. 

 Repeat entire sequence 2-3x if you have more time. 

 Reblog to share.

Follow my blog for more workouts.

Before (taken August 2014) and After (taken November 2015) my 40+ pound weight loss.

***I wasnt sure if I wanted to post this on here because im so insecure about the “before” picture and not a lot of people on here know the struggles I went through the past 5 years. Long story kind of short, after I graduated High School, I was incredibly depressed and my anxiety spiked to a whole new level where I couldnt leave my house without having a panic attack therefor I stayed in and slept all the time, slept through meals, slept through life and lost 15 pounds within 6 months (and for those who knew me in High School know I was already really thin, always was) so it was really dangerous. I hit my lowest point and had to get on medication…which then made me gain 70+ pounds and that made me depressed again and lost all my confidence because I couldnt lose the weight. In Summer 2014 I went and lived in Pennsylvania (HUGE step for me) and went off my medication and started working out and being active again. As of today I am 6 pounds away from losing 50 pounds (and still going!) and im so incredibly proud of myself for getting this far. I still have more to go but I needed to share this achievement. The people close to me and that have been by my side these past few years know what a huge deal this is for me and have been so encouraging I cant thank them enough. IM SO DAMN PROUD OF MYSELF!
