Hey girl HAY!!!! Happy Wednesday!
I hope your first couple of weeks of 2019 are going fabulous! I personally am glad to be back to the routine and back on a normal schedule… mainly for my family because everyone is so out of whack off their regular routine :/ Speaking of normally scheduled programming, my weekly workouts are back at the top of my priority list.
With my crazy work schedule, a 7 year old, making time for family and blogging, its pretty challenging to fit in a workout! I told myself… NO MORE EXCUSES!!! My goal is to stick to a daily workout/30 minutes of activity 6x a week… NO. MATTER. WHAT! 🙂
With working out comes some essentials that will keep you AND me motivated to stick to our routines. I rounded up some of my favs for 2019!
Fitness and health are both very important to me. Through my senior year of high school, I was heavily involved in cheer and dance so my daily workouts were a planned part of my everyday life. This continued in college but I did not have something going on everyday. I had to be disciplined and workout out on the days we didnt have practice. I had to find something to keep myself in shape (and keep the notorious freshman 15 off as I entered college). The solution? Running.
Up until that point, I had never been a runner or even enjoyed the activity when I was forced to do so at cheer practice. I read in a magazine at the time, however, that one of the best and quickest cardio workouts (and a great way to increase your metabolism because of the effect of your heart rate speeding up and slowing down) was a run-walk routine, so I started with that. I immediately started noticing changes in my body, for the better. What also happened as an effect. I began being much more selective about the kinds of foods I ate so I had the energy and fuel for my runs.
About 4 years ago, I introduced weight lifting into my workout routine. I used to think “oh it will make me bulk up and look even more stocky than I already am…!!” Little did I know… I was missing out. I now have a set workout schedule for every day of the week and 3 of those are weight training. Here is my weekly workout schedule:
