If you don’t already know about my SECRET FB GROUP called LOVE HIIT BG BABES, you should check it out and join!  You don’t have to have my fitness plans to join.  The reason I created it was so that we could all get to know each other better.  I wanted a support group for all of us ladies to help each other out daily!  Whether it be through motivation through fitness goals, tips on beauty, tips on recipes, hair, make up, postpartum, waxing, marriage, dating tips… literally whatever!  Plus exclusive discount codes on my fitness guides, and giveaways!  Lots and lots of fun things going to be happening!  

Through getting to know all of you through DM has been amazing, and I wanted an easier way for us all to communicate in one place!  I want you all to feel comfortable sharing things with each other!  We’re all friends and women just trying to support each other.  I believe that women should lift each other up, not tear down.  It’s hard enough being a woman in todays world!  Lets all come together and support each other by giving advice, help and all the love!  

I’m sick of talking about me, and I want to get to know all of YOU.  This is what I do it for.  I live for helping others and lifting others up!  That’s what life is about. Spreading love. NOT hate.    There is so much hate going on, and I want to do anything I can to change that!   Even if I can help one of you, that will make everything SO beyond worth it.  I love all your support and I want you all to walk away with value after reading anything I post.  Thats what it’s about!

So please! Share anything you want with me!   If you want me to post something specific, please let me know!  I love getting recommendations on what you want to hear.   

Have a Great weekend!

3 WAYS TO STOP MAKING EXCUSES

TOP / PANTS / SHOES

If you guys follow me on snapchat & IG stories, you know that I don’t make any excuses when it comes to getting movement in everyday.  I also like to switch up my routine, so I don’t get bored.  There are plenty of ways to get your exercise in without having to be in a gym.  Every time we think working out, we automatically think gym.   At least I used to think like that.  Having Oaks has definitely broadened my horizon & pushed me to get creative.

  1.  LOOK AT YOUR ENVIRONMENT. Work with what you got.  If you can work in 30  minutes to the gym, then great.  If your husband works out of town & your babysitting options are not happening, then include them.  Work out in your backyard, living room etc.  You don’t even need one single weight if you can’t get a couple.  8LB WEIGHTS are $15 on amazon.   My body guide can be done anywhere.  Those that have it, LOVE IT.  ALL you need is a couple weights. I went to the park the other day with Oaks & made that my work out.  Took a 10 minute run to the park, ran around with Oaks more.  Then between that I found a bench to work out on.  Thats really all it takes.  Here is what I did.

4 ROUNDS

  • 20 TRICEP DIPS
  • 20 BOX JUMPS
  • 20 V UPS
  • (SIT ON THE BENCH, & LIFT LEGS UP LIKE A CRUNCH)
  • 20 RIGHT LEG LUNGE (OTHER LEG UP ON THE BENCH)
  • 20 LEFT LEG LUNGE

If you want to make it more intense, you can bring some weights and pack them on the bottom of your stroller.  SO then after I complete that,  I will run back.  Really though, there is no excuse not to get a work out in.  You have time; You just need to  make the time.  I know as moms we’re so tired & exhausted, but working out makes me feel a ton better about myself and actually gives me more energy.  Don’t make those excuses.  If you can’t find the time, take your kids to the park and work out.  It’s a WIN WIN.  So like I said, just look at your environment and see what you can work with to power through a work out.  Honestly even if it’s just 20 minutes.  Better than nothing at all!

You can also do my LOVE HIIT BODY GUIDE at the park. OR where you want 🙂

2.   MENTALLY PREPARE. Literally tell yourself that you’re going to do it today, and you CAN do it.  Get excited & know that if you chip away every single day, you are that much closer to your fitness goals.  Just think that everyday that passes that you don’t work out, you are getting further and further away from what you’re wanting.  Plus your health should be a priority!

3. REWARD YOURSELF.  When I’m really not feeling it that day, I’ll make sure that I have something that is waiting for me after my work out.  Such as; one of your healthy favorite treats!  Or that yummy lunch you have planned.  Mine is my fa 4 smoothie, a LENNYS & LARRYS COOKIE, or a COCONUT MILK LATTE.  (btw that post says soy, but I quit soy, so just swap coconut milk in that same recipe)  Just something that gets you excited.  I know that it pushes me to go even harder.  

OR better yet.  Think of your cheat meal you’re planning for that week!  That helps me a lot!  I’m like okay, Fries, fries, rose, rose, cookies, cookies.  haha 🙂 you get it.

So bottom line- EXCUSES suck.  They make us resist it pushing us back from what we should be doing, and what will improve our lives and make us better.  We all make excuses.  Find a way, fight the resistance, work with what you got & DO IT.  

Have a great day babes & THANK YOU ALL to who entered my giveaway.  You guys keep me going.  You make it all worth it.  Thank you for your support!  I appreciate it!

XOXO,
