20 Tips To Get Your Booty Moving

{Shoes: Mizuno | Tights: Lululemon}
When you work a 9-5 desk job you definitely spend a lot of time on your tush. That’s why I make it a priority to get my booty moving. Here are 20 tips to help inspire you to get off your booty every single day.

1. On Sunday, map out your weekly workout plan. Mix up your workout routine to keep yourself from getting bored. Here’s my plan for the week:
Tuesday: Yogalates
Wednesday: Pilates & R.I.P.P.E.D
Thursday: Kickboxing & Barre
Friday: Run + Strength Training
Saturday: Run at the park
Sunday: Bike ride with friends



2. Meal prep/plan for the week on Sundy.

3. Schedule workouts just as you would any other nonnegotiable important meeting or event.

4. Prep everything you’ll need the night before including your outfit and pre + post workout snack.

5.
Set your phone alarm with a motivational message.

6. Taking classes? Sign up and pay for them ahead of time making it harder to skip.

7. Embrace Groupon and buy coupons to try out new workout classes.

8. Shorter workouts work too. You can get in a killer 20 minute workout.

9. Go for a walk on your lunch break.

10. Get your workout done first thing in the morning so your busy schedule doesn’t get in the way.

11. Find a workout buddy. Committing to meet someone makes it harder to skip.

12. Choose the same time to workout everyday. If I’m not going to classes that day I like to be at the gym by 6:15am.

13. Use attainable goals to motivate you. Even small ones like doing 25 sit-ups a day or building up to larger ones like running a half marathon (my goal)
14. Mark every workout in your calendar. This is huge motivation for me.

15. Share your workouts on social media. The positive energy you’ll receive is inspiring.

16. Reward yourself.

17. Sign up for 5k races with friends.

18. Get up for a couple minutes every hour and just stretch or walk around the office.

19. Learn to love meditation.

20. Always remember tomorrow is a new day.

I\’m Only Awesome When I\’m Single

Relationships are great. Someone to cuddle with, dates, random acts of kindness like flowers, taking your likes and dislikes into consideration, someone who loves and appreciates you – what could be better?
Yet somehow I’m happier when I’m single. It’s not because I like alone time or because I get my kicks playing the field – I’m not that kind of girl, but my confidence in myself wilts and my overall happiness declines when I’m in a relationship.

Why is he checking that girl out – what does she have that I don’t – wait seriously why is he checking her out?

He kissed me and then never wanted to see me again – am I that bad of a kisser?
I’m too clingy, i’m never available, I don’t spend enough time with him, he needs his space – what on earth!
Are you going to the gym? Why do you think I’m fat and I need to – let the diet and HIIT classes begin – what happened to the confident girl?
That’s what you’re wearing to bed? Ummm yeah?! Why what would you like me to wear…. Nothing?!
When I’m in a relationship with someone, I see other women who are prettier, skinnier and smarter and wonder why he keeps coming back my way. When I’m single, I don’t compare myself to other women. I honestly could care less. So why do I care in a relationship? It’s because I could lose him to one of them. I could get a text saying they saw him on Tinder and I could watch my world come crashing down in front of me. So what’s a girl to do – date and try to find love? Hope for the best and accept that I won’t be myself or continue to be single?

Fall Fitness Bucket List


{You can find my Puma shoes here}

Living in Michigan I feel like each season I need to reset my mind and body. With fall quickly approaching it presents the perfect opportunity for new challenges and discovering ways I can test my body. Therefore I decided to create a fall fitness bucket list….

Certainly no workout is complete with out the proper training shoe. Currently you\’ll find the PUMA IGNITE XT training shoe in my gym bag. It\’s insanely comfortable and offers traction, support, agility and energy return via IGNITE foam. It\’s easily become my favorite shoe.

Hangry

My summer has been packed with plenty of adventure and traveling. Between weddings and baby showers I feel like i\’m skipping town every weekend. One thing saving me is Jack Link\’s Turkey and Chicken Jerky. Not only are they packed with protein – they\’re a better option than any fast food stop!

Jack Link\’s Flavors
Jack Link\’s Chicken Jerky: Lean white meat chicken breast seasoned and marinated with cracked black pepper along with sweet and savory spices.

Jack Link\’s Turkey Jerky: Solid strips of lean, white meat turkey breast seasoned and smoked over mesquite. This little beauty is 98% fat free. A perfect little something different.

Jack Link\’s Sweet Teriyaki Turkey Jerky: Soy, ginger, a little onion and a whole lot of perfectly smoked turkey. The very best of East meets West.
