Post workout yoga.

- Doing a restorative yoga session after an intense workout is a great way to relieve some of that lactic acid build up.

- It'll also help with your overall flexibility and physical healthiness.

Bursting with Energy

I really WANT to go to the gym, RIGHT NOW. 

However, I lift with my husband and he’s going to be at work all night. I would go without him, but then our schedules wouldn’t be synced anymore and it would mess EVERYTHING up. 

I already did my cardio work today (which I do alone), and I don’t know what to do with all this energy I have for no reason. 

(Honestly, I should probably be studying because my midterms are in 3 days, but I can’t focus)

This is one of my favorite snacks.

- loads of power greens (spinach, kale, baby bok choy)

- hummus (I prefer "supremely spicy")

- tomato

- the occasional sprinkles of goat cheese

What are your favorite quick and healthy snacks?

Fitness doesn't only come from being in the gym. Go into the mountains, take a hike, breathe the fresh air, capture some of mother nature's beauty. There are many ways to achieve healthiness. Experiment. Find what's right for you.

Find the workout that works for YOU.

- I've always hated cardio. Running makes me want to puke and biking makes my a$$ hurt. But swimming? I love swimming. The water blocks out most other sounds. You're suspended in the element - basically weightless. There is nothing but you and the water. It's amazing. - Listen to your body. Don't attempt to force yourself to do the same fitness routine every January only to fall out of it a month or two later. If you find something you enjoy, it'll be much easier to stick to it.
