Thanks for taking the time to visit my fitness page!! I have personally been in sports & athletic activities my whole life which consisted of mostly dance & swim team, but as I am now an adult, finding ways to keep my body healthy & moving has been a little bit more of a struggle. My hope for this page is that it will help & motivate you to get your body moving, strengthen your muscles, & sculpt a healthy, fit body that you are proud of.
LET’S GET STARTED!!
- Check out the link below to follow or create your own workout routines using the playlist I have put together thanks to the work, time & effort of amazing & powerful women.**
- Keep reading to find some simple fitness & health tips, tricks, & workouts of my own.
WORKOUTS!!
Simple Treadmill Cardio:
• 20-30 min. of speed 3.0 with an incline of 12.0
• 5 min. run of speed 6.0 with an incline of 0.0
• 3-5 min. cool down with speed decreasing every minute or two from 2.5-1.5
FITNESS TIPS!!**
• When doing any form of sit-up or crunch, DO NOT use your neck muscles to pull your shoulders off the ground!! this is very important as it could damage your neck & cause pain in your neck, shoulders, & head. Focus on using your core muscles to lift your back/shoulders off the ground as these exercises are designed to strengthen your core anyway.
• When doing any form of squat or squat jump, be careful to not let your knees go over your toes & work to put more of the pressure on your heels (sit back) instead of on your toes.
• If any of the exercises or workouts seem out of your performance ability, that is okay! DO NOT attempt to perform an exercise if you know that you are not in a place to physically do so properly or safely. Also, when on a treadmill or bike, if the speed suggested is too fast & you do not feel safe, please DO NOT do the speed shown & instead modify the speed to one where you would feel safe & confident in your ability to do correctly.
HEALTH TIPS!!**
• If you find yourself feeling unmotivated, exhausted, or too groggy to do your workout, try getting a Pre-Workout & making that a part of your workout routine. It will boost your energy & focus, giving you the strength to push through that workout.
- My suggestions for Pre-Workouts are NingXia Zyng by Young Living, Celsius, & Alani Nu BCAA Powder.
• If you do not feel that your body is not well enough to do a workout, listen to your body!! It is important to give yourself breaks & pace yourself especially in the beginning of your fitness journey. If you feel weak that day or unwell, maybe try a simple stretching routine or some relaxing yoga to move your body but in a gentle & relaxed way.
• This might be common knowledge, but make sure you are eating a balanced diet, but DO NOT assume that what works for one person will work for you as well. We all have different bodies, different metabolism, difference digestive systems, etc. It is important that you do your research & learn what your body needs. Some of us need more carbs in your diets, while others need more proteins. Do your research, talk to a professional, & do what is right for your body.
**Disclaimer: I am not a licensed professional nor am I claiming the workout videos in the playlist linked below as my own. I am inspired by the work of the other powerful women I follow & virtually train with but I am also in the process of creating my own workouts & routines that I hope will be helpful for you as well. But as for now, this is my starting line & I can not wait to see where this process takes me.
