Summertime Sweety

I have been so M.I.A the past... what? 6 months? Year? I'm pretty sure if I was an actual missing person I would be assumed to be dead by now. Are we past the point of apologies? Because I think we are. If I did it again you probably wouldn't even take me seriously, so I'm not going to!  If you haven't already noticed there have been quite a few big changes to the layout of this blog! As for the core, important things, they are the same, I just figured it was time for a new look! I have grown up quite a bit since I created this blog, and not only this, but the content and goals have been slightly altered since the beginning as well, so along with that I reformatted and am going to try to turn over a new leaf :) In my College Transfer Success class this past semester, I learned something very important.  Goals need to be specific, they need to be time bound, and they need to be feasible.   My first goal for the new year is to improve upon this blog so t...

It is the beginning of a new month, and the beginning of the Holiday Season! From this point on out you are going to be eating constant junk food for the next two months (as if you didn't do that already all through Halloween). And besides all of the junk food, you are going to be running around constantly with no time to stop and do your daily workout! You do work out every day right? Oh of course! Everyone does! ;) Well I wanted to give you something of a simpler option that will build on it's self everyday! But let me just tell you before hand, I didn't create these workouts. I got them from  30dayfitnesschallenges.com . It is an awesome site with a ton of great workouts! Go check them out!! Let's start with some basic challenges... The Push-up Challenge! The Sit-up Challenge! The Wall Sit Challenge! Wanna Kick it up a notch??  The Arms Challenge! The Ab Challenge! The Butt Challenge! Want a real challenge??? The...

Easy ways to workout at school, and no one will ever be the wiser! Cram and Jam Get fit while you’re stuck in class! You can pull of these calf-tightening moves while sitting in your chair – and nobody will ever notice. Cross your legs and point the toe of the leg that’s dangling, then trace the alphabet with your foot. When you’re done, point your heel at the floor and stretch toes back for 10 seconds or so. Switch legs, and repeat on the other side. Just don’t space out – the teacher might call on you! Leg extensions in Latin While sitting at your desk, extend your legs, one at a time, until they are completely straight. Hold for 30 to 60 seconds at a time, then slowly release back to the floor. If ya need to, keep your legs at an angle so they slide under the chair in front of you. For a serious burn, try 10 to 15 reps at a snail’s pace, using your abs to pull your legs up and lower them down. Hip flexors in history While sitting in your chair, lift your right foo...

So you don't want to workout, but you really need to... Here are a few ways to trick you bod into thinking you are doing just everyday tasks, while you get in an awesome workout! Slim Surfin’ Time spent on your computer doesn’t have to be fitness free! If you have rubber playground ball, squeeze it between your knees to tighten thighs while you IM your friends. Or try this: Scoot your bum forwards a few inches from the back of your seat. Now, squeeze your butt cheeks together as hard as you can. Hold and squeeze for a few seconds, rest and repeat several times.  Tone on the Phone When your phone rings, take the call standing up.

Do that 10 times in a day, and you’ve done 30 squats – enough to seriously tighten your thighs! You can also grab a tennis ball and squeeze it in your hands, it will tighten your forearms ...

So I forgot to post this in April, but in case you still want it! :)

So I found these really cute "Tone at Home" workouts that come in parts one, two, and three. I hope you try them out!

Amazing News Guys! Like I told you when I found the first calendar I am searching for them all... and here's March! I hope you try it out!!

So like I said here comes the adorable workouts I promised! And wanna know something that  totally  rocks? They are just as hard as they are cute!

So if you are anything like me you don't exactly feel like working out on Sundays, it's my one day to rest between church! So on Sunday I have began trying out yoga. When I first thought about trying it I was kind of against the idea because it just seems like you would be taking time out of your day to do something that has no effect on your body! Well needless to say.... I was wrong. Besides relaxing you, it helps you to become even more flexible, and to a certain degree stronger. I don't do the "Owm" and meditating thing though! These should be done with s..l..o..w, f..l..o..w..i..n..g motions. Remember to breathe deeply! This workout is a bit longer and has the places marked where to inhale and exhale. These should still be done with s..l..o..w, and f..l..o..w..i..n..g motions! I just happened to like these two workouts the best but there are many others in all degrees of difficulty.  Enjoy!

So in every workout you are supposed to warm up with (fill in the blank cardio). Cardio, CaRdIo, CARDIO! Thats all you hear when it comes to workouts, and to be blunt cardio sucks. I found this cute little workout that you could do on the days that you just don't feel like going out and running. Now remember I'm not saying this works as well as good mile or so run, but do this a few time through and you will feel as tired as if you did!

So I've given you the monthly workout calendar, but how about a day by day breakdown? These are also part of my daily workout regimen and even though it is pretty hard, it does work! So I know it doesn't include Saturday or Sunday but later I am going to post some cute workouts that you can do whenever you want! Enjoy!

So I have been big into working out lately, because who doesn't want to look their very best when vacation time comes! I found this workout calendar on Pinterest so I'm not able to give you the link to the exact website but I thought if you liked it enough you could copy, or print it out. I have been looking for the rest of the months that go with this but so far this is the only one I've found. I am doing it myself and so far its working pretty well, I would love for you to do this with me, just comment below and tell me any of your thoughts about it . Enjoy!! :)
