Previously "thininsummer" on tumblr. Welcome to my fitness blog, I'm Jen and I started this blog two summers ago to get motivated and motivate others to get toned, fit, healthy or lose weight. People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing & that's why we recommend it daily.ii - Zig Ziglar

TURKEY NEEDS WORLDWIDE SUPPORT! TURKEY IS BURNING & PEOPLE ARE DYING RIGHT NOW! PRESS IN TURKEY IS NOT WORKING. WE CAN’T EVEN WATCH TV (MEDIA IS UNDER CONTROL). THE GOVERNMENT IS BRINGING MORE POLICE TO ISTANBUL & CARES NOT ABOUT OUR LIVES. Instead of stopping excessive force, police are attacking hospitals where the injured are being treated. PLS SHARE IT, DO STH, SAY STH… let the whole world know what is happening in Turkey right now!!! NOT SUPPORTING US IS INHUMANE!!! “WE ARE THE WORLD WE ARE THE CHILDREN” STAY STRONG TURKEY!

Imagine there is a war in Times Square and there is no news on national media. This is whats happening in Turkey! The cops are killing innocent people protesting the government on the streets, the local media is censored. PRAY FOR TURKEY. BE A HUMAN & SUPPORT US. MY FRIENDS ARE DYING!

I hate to say this, but we actually should reblog stuff like this.

Posts say it doesn’t make a difference, but it does.

If we keep reblogging, people who care might donate to charity.

Or it could reach someone important, like a government official who’s on tumblr for some reason, and he could do something about it.

This post might save lives.

So reblog.

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”

I decided to do this in a three part series so that you can start with your current fitness level and build up as you get stronger! These routines are a great way to get total body toning because they combine fat burning cardio intervals with intensifying strength intervals. Each level gets harder so move up at your own pace and track your progress along the way! Do these with a few days a week of whatever cardio you like, running and walking are my favorites.

Remember, the most important thing is to listen to your body, if something is too hard scale back or if you need an extra rest day take it. Don’t forget at least one total rest day per week! You can find demos for each of the strength moves on youtube too. :)

There’s tons more at home exercise plans here! :)
