PILATES, YOGA, BARRE, AND SOLIDCORE!!!

Hi girlies! lets talk wellness. I love working out and moving my body so naturally I have been a gym girlie, to a pilates girlie, to a yoga girlie... ive done it all! I swear lol. trying all these different workouts out gave me the best workout routine ever!

3 solid core classes/week

1 hot vinyasa yoga/week

1-2 at home pilates inspired workout/week

SolidCore is my FAVORITE. it's a Pilates inspired workout that gives you one of the hardest challenges in your life! I can definitely say after 5 classes you feel super strong and your body just feels so much better! since its a core focused workout, ive noticed a huge decrease in bloating and overall helped me achieve toned stomach, arms, and legs! it is most definitely a lot harder than pilates!

when I was in my yoga era, I fell in love with vinyasa. basically a practice of yoga that involves a continuous flow. my local yoga studio, offers a HIIT Vinyasa in a 99 degree room. its the best strength building class that will make you sweat and stretch at the same time.

to keep the consistency, I do a couple workouts at home in between my classes. ive done barre and traditional pilates at a studio but ive noticed that those workouts can easily be done any home AND WE ALL KNOW THESE CLASSES ARE EXPENSIVE ASF!!! so I barre/pilates inspired classes at home! these are some of my favorite videos to follow along! I promise they work just as great!

Good morning! this is one of my fav morning journaling prompts to do every morning. I feel that when I journal in the morning, my day runs a lot smoother and I tend to find the positives more often. journaling helped me escape a feeling of being stuck in the creative aspect of my life as well as just generally be a lot happier. Try these prompts next time you journal!

LETS TALK LOVING AND CREATING BOUNDARIES WITH OURSELVES!

respecting and loving yourself is the greatest gift you can give yourself and that starts with simple boundaries! here's some examples that helped me create PEACE in my life by establishing a routine, felt more self love and created an environment for me to enjoy life!

MORNING ROUTINE- pretty self explanatory but this will just give you such a great start to the morning and studies shows doing the same thing every morning leads to more productivity, creativity and secureness all equalling to greater success

BUDGETING- one the hardest thing to do in today's society in my opinion. but learning restraint when it comes to spending money and establishing a humble mindset will give you so much peace in the long run as well who just doesn't love having money!

UNHEALTHY FOOD CONSUMPTION!!!!!!!- the biggest thing you can do for yourself is eating healthy (or trying your best) not trying to shame anybody but eating fast-food 3x a week is hurting yourself. the way we feel and look all has to do with what goes in our bodies!

CREATING A SCHEDULE AND STICKING TO IT: putting down the minimum and max Amount of time for work, to upcoming meetings, deadlines, bill dues, will overall create more structure in your life causing less stress!
