Glute Boot Camp
With summer approaching, I am hearing more and more of my friends (mostly the girls) saying they want to workout their butt more. As funny as it may seem, people really do care about their butt and want to make sure it looks toned for bathing suit season. Try doing lunges and 1 legged hip thrusts to tighten up that bottom and get it ready for endless beach trips this summer!
Fit vs. Skinny
Many women and young girls want to have the body of a Victoria’s Secret model, but here’s the thing..while those models are absolutely gorgeous, their body type is not a realistic goal unless you are planning on actually becoming a VS model, and even then, it is not an easy process. Yes, we all want to be thin, but we need to make sure we are losing weight in a healthy way. I am aware that models eat, but they also have trainers helping them stay on track and monitoring what they eat. It is important to eat healthy, and continue to get exercise. Being fit is the new skinny for many. No matter your body type, it is possible to get in shape and stay that way, which also leads to a great deal of self-confidence!
Remember, Everyone Needs a Break
Although it is important to keep up with your workout routine, remember that it is ok to take a day or 2 off. In fact, it is healthy to take time off! Often times, people push themselves to the point of exhaustion and end up crashing for days on end because they just feel as though they cannot work anymore. Doing this can have negative effects on you mentally too, so be careful. Create a workout program that works for you - if an off day to you means still going outside for a 30 minute walk, that’s perfect! Once you develop a plan, stick to it, just make sure that you don’t get into the habit of taking too many days off because then eventually you’ll end up only working out once a week, if that!
Rainy Day Cardio Workout
No matter the weather: rain, snow, hail, tornado, anything except blue sky and clouds, it is a million times harder to motivate yourself to roll out of bed and hit the gym. The good news is that you can get a fantastic cardio workout in the comfort of your own home! My personal favorite cardio exercise is jump roping. If you do not own a jump rope, you can just do small, quick hops without it. Try to jump for a minute as quick as you can without a break and do 3 sets while stretching in between. If jump roping is not for you, try some jumping jacks or mountain climbers instead!
For my family, any holiday is an excuse to eat a lot of great food. This past weekend, I found myself eating a LOT of candy as well as a big dinner. This week, I am trying to make sure I am eating more healthy and exercising. If you find yourself feeling like me, just make sure you are maintaining a healthy diet - fruits and vegetables and always remember to drink lots of water! If you feel like you need to workout, hop on a stationary bike or get outside and walk around for 30 minutes. You do not have to do anything extreme, just enough to get your body moving.
A lot of people enjoying running whether it is used as a way to get in shape or just to clear their mind, but it is a great source of exercise if it is done every day. Find a route that you are comfortable with and has nice scenery as a way to motivate yourself. Often times running with a friend is also a way to get you out and running, but you need to be careful because chances are you’ll end up talking with your friend, which gets very tiring. If you are not a fan of running outside, start with running on a treadmill or elliptical. Just keep in mind that each activity works different parts of your body, so alternating between the 3 may be something you want to do.
Find Your Motivation!
If you’re like me, you probably have a hard time actually dragging yourself to the gym or out of bed to go for a run. I personally, enjoy having a bunch of empty space and doing my own thing rather than working on machines. Everyone has their own preferences, but no matter what they are, you need to find something that will motivate you to actually work out. This could be knowing that summer is coming up and you want to look good at the beach, or just knowing that you haven’t been living the healthiest lifestyle. Right now, I am looking at summer as a motivator as well as my eating habits. I love food. It’s as simple as that. I am not the world’s healthiest eater, but I do ok. It is important to make sure that if you do not have the healthiest diet, that you are at least keeping active to burn off those extra calories. Make a new playlist on your phone full of your favorite songs to pump you up. As soon as I get new songs, I find an excuse to listen to all of them at once and working out is the perfect one!
If you are not the type of person who enjoys weight lifting whether they are bars or small weights, a medicine ball is a great alternative! Medicine balls come in all different weights and are most typically filled with a sand-like substance. They can be used just as something with weight to hold while doing squats, or you can challenge yourself and do different arm workouts with them like you would with a normal weight. The medicine ball is a much different feel than normal dumbbell weight and is often times more comfortable for people to hold. In addition to being able to use them as a dumbbell replacement, they also work great as a stabilizer if you get bored of regular push-ups and decide you want to balance by putting one hand on the medicine ball and rolling it from hand to hand in between each push-up. Experiment with it and find out what works best for you and your body!
Planks are a great workout for not only your abs but also your thighs and ams! It is important to keep your back straight and butt up as well as keeping your arms parallel and your core tight. If you have the correct form, you should feel it throughout your body. If you are just beginning to work out, start by holding the plank for 30 seconds and an extra 30 seconds every time you try.
I got involved in sports at a very young age. It was nice having older siblings to practice with at home since I was the type of child who could not sit around the house all day. Many people get involved in one of more sports at a young age but as time goes on they realize they do not have the time to keep up with them. I have found this to be a struggle myself, so instead, I try to do a quick workout of 30 minutes a day and try to eat healthier so that I can stay in good shape. For those of you looking for good ways to work your whole body, my blog is the one for you! In addition to working out on my own, I also train in the martial arts and have been since I was 4. That being said, I have the experience and have learned many new exercises over the years to keep myself fit and stretched out and I hope to share that with the rest of the world. Enjoy!
