Does anyone else think arm workouts are a relief from their normal workout schedule? I love dumbbell-based upper body workouts because they somehow feel like less effort since I’m not doing cardio or doing heavy lower body exercises. Don’t get me wrong, though, I’m always sore AF after doing upper body workouts. Speaking of being…
What I Learned from Adopting an Early Morning Routine
They say the most successful people wake up early to get things done, because this is when we tend to be the most clear-minded and energized. As the day goes on, things can take an unpredictable turn, either causing us to be busy or just mentally drained. By taking time in the morning to be…
The Early Morning Challenge
I love the idea of starting each morning with quiet, reflective time—it just seems like a great way to start the day. But when it comes to making this a reality, my love of sleep or lazy mornings gets in the way. Plus, anything that feels “optional” in the morning when I’m tired easily gets…
20-Minute Ladder Workout
I wasn’t planning to post a workout today, but after trying a new one yesterday, I had to share the wealth. It’s a different type of setup that switches things up. I thought it was a nice change of pace (though I’m still loving my 52 Cards to Fit workout). I stumbled across Shawn [Johnson]…
52 Cards to Fit Workout
I have QUITE the workout to share with you today. It was actually inspired by Carrie Underwood’s new workout app called Fit52. I just finished reading her new book a couple weeks ago called Find Your Path, and it has completely revived my love for the Deck of Cards Workout concept. Except, I actually like…
Double Duty Workout
I tend to heavily rotate through about 3-5 workout routines for a month, and then I get bored and feel the need to create something fresh and new. For quite awhile now, I’ve been loving my Total Body Sculpt Workout and Getting Stronger Full Body Workout, but I was craving something different and possibly shorter…
5 Stores to Buy Affordable Workout Clothes
Whether you wear them while working out, running errands, or doing absolutely nothing, there’s no denying that active wear is the bee’s knees. Workout clothes are pretty much all I wear during my workweek, now that I’m a full-time remote employee. I mean…if the clothes are comfortable, then why deny the joy of wearing them…
Workout for Weak Glutes & Hips
I originally started this blog with a running theme, but ever since I developed IT (iliotibial) band syndrome four years ago, running has been pretty nonexistent in my life. I’m not going to get into that story, but if you want to read more about my experience, check out my running after IT band syndrome…
Being Active vs. Working Out
Many of us live pretty sedentary lifestyles—working a desk job 5 days a week, sitting in the car to get places, and sitting on the couch most of the time at home. (If Netflix has ever asked you “Are you still watching?” then you know what I mean.) This constant lack of movement has been…
My #1 Tip for Sticking to a Workout Schedule
Of all the tips I’ve shared on how to stay committed to a workout schedule— whether on here or in person to friends—there’s one in particular that I swear by. It’s the one change that made my unstructured and infrequent exercise turn into a legitimate routine: logging workouts. I’ve been logging workouts online for over…
Madonna Workout Playlist
Let’s end this week on an upbeat note with a new workout playlist! I haven’t shared one yet this year, so I figured it was time to finalize one I had on deck that just needed a little bit of tweaking. If you’re a fan of Madonna—who I’m going to assume you’re at least mildly…
Strong Legs Weight Lifting Workout
If you’re in the market for a burn-so-good leg workout using weights, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve been getting bored with high-rep workouts lately—they just seem to drag. on. and can be particularly boring. Since a lot of my leg workouts (even those using weights) have more reps than I usually feel like…
Super Bowl Workout
Who’s ready for some footbaaaaaall?! This weekend is the Super Bowl, which means a lot of us will be glued to our TVs with game day snacks in hand. And by “a lot of us,” I mean other people because I have a short attention span when it comes to sports on TV. The snacks…
15 Cardio-Based Circuit Workouts
Whether you don’t have access to gym equipment or just can’t make it out of the house for a run, I have good news: you can still get your cardio in! Ever since I had to stop running due to an impossible case of IT Band Syndrome, I’ve had to get creative with my workouts…
Goals for 2019: Keep on Keepin’ on
In keeping with tradition on here, I wanted my first post of the new year to be my personal goals for 2019. As I was trying to decide on goals to set for myself, I realized…I basically just want to keep working on what I had in my 2018 Goals. I’m actually really proud of how…
