Workout Wednesday: At Home Cardio Fitness Cheat Sheet

I get it someday's we physically cannot make it to the gym but we can still mentally hold on to our fitness goals by doing a few at home cardio exercises.  These moves should help keep your heart rate pulsing and your core bumping.  Success is birthed during commitment, sacrifice and determination.  Do not let the lack of a gym or fitness center be the reason you miss out on your weekly workout requirement.  These moves can be done in the comfort of your home, outside of your home, or anywhere for that matter.  We are not saying you have to do it forever but try to challenge yourself to one to three reps if you can! Don't worry, we're rooting for you always there is no room for judgement here only encouragement. Keep moving!

Work Out Wednesday: 5 Gifs To Keep You Moving!

Happy Work Out Wednesday ladies! This week I wanted to change up the flow this week and share a few gif clips to get you all moving. There are so many different moves out there that we either a) get too overwhelmed and stick to a select few or b) are too afraid to try any. Here are some clips that give a peek at what your form, technique, and structure should look like during these key moves. I hope they inspire you to try something different and new. Even if you try each move once you'll be one step closer to being fit!


1.) ABS: Focus on hitting your core and attacking those abs of flab! (10 reps each side)


2.) BUTT: Donkey Kicks help tighten that glute into a perky piece of perfection. (10 reps each side)



3.) LEGS: Hit those lunges with everything you've got and build that muscle. (10 reps each side)


4.) ARMS: Grab a 2 lb weight and get those arms swinging for tight guns. (10 reps each side)


5.) TOTAL: Jumping rope targets all of your needs as an all intensive workout (10 minutes)


Ladies don't forget to stretch it out!

Work Out Wednesday | Review: Saucony Fastwitch 5 Sneaker

This Workout Wednesday I wanted to share a review! I've been feeling less motivated these days so I decided to the next best thing. I bought a cute pair of sneakers to inspire me to keep pushing forward in my fitness endeavors. I found these beauties at my local Marshall's Shoe Store and surprisingly they were under $40. I've never owned a pair of Saucony's and was curious to find out their capabilities. I feel like I always go after Nike's just out of habit but this time around I totally wanted to try something new. These are called Saucony Fastwitch 5. Of course the pink drew me in but when I put them on they felt amazing! 

(here's a photo of them on my feet)

Logistics:
  • Sizing: I am usually an 8 or 8.5 but these run a bit small. I had to get a size 9.5 so be careful!
  • Flexibility: I love how much stretch I get in these. During my spin class I was able to flex and arch my feet comfortably. Running in these on the treadmill is a breeze
  • Weight: These are very light weight although looks may be a bit deceiving. There's plenty of support.
  • Structure: The mesh layer allows plenty of breath-ability for my feet, so there's no worry about stinky sweaty feet after a tense workout, a major plus.

Pros:
  • They are super duper cute, I love pink and black. These two colors are practical for all four seasons and add enough pop to keep you excited about hitting the gym.
  • Very light weight, flexible, and comfortable. 

Cons:
  • I'm not too sure if it was my gym's flooring, perhaps the wax was fresh, but I felt the grip was a little slippery when I was doing a few Pilates moves. I found myself sliding all over the damn place.
  • They run very small so like l said a size and a half larger might be your best bet.


If you are feeling drab in the fitness department, inspire yourself with a brand new pair of sneakers! And don't forget to grab your water bottle and stay hydrated. Too much is never enough! Better safe than sorry.

Work Out Wednesday

Take your time ladies and try something new. Make sure to develop a nice pace that isn't overwhelming or underwhelming. You want enough movement that you can feel your heart rate peaking not enough where you feel like its two minutes away from climbing out of your chest, unless that's what you are striving for. Remember that you have to walk before you run and this quick workout is a great way to swap a gym day for an at home workout that still delivers results. 

Tell us how it goes and remember to BREATHE!
