Yay! New face. Well new makeup routine. Here are all the products I used during that video!

I love working out. Obviously. But there are definitely some times where I just don't see the end of a workout. Everyone has their own ways to workout, whether that be in a class or by yourself. Personally, I love a good workout class. Don't get me wrong, I kick it hard at the gym by myself but classes are super fun.

Anywayyyyy, this blog post is about how to get through your workout. Some days you just aren't feeling it but you still drag your booty to the gym (props to you). While you are trying to get your workout on and feeling like you just can't push harder, these tips are for you.

1. Sing (or lip sync) the music playing
       I learned this tip during a cycling course. Singing helps regulate your breathing. So while you feel like you can't catch your breathe, sing along.

2. 10 Second Secret
      Anyone can do anything for 10 seconds. It's true. When you hear "10 seconds" you usually push whatever you are doing. Doing a plank? Countdown from 10 and then do it again. Suddenly you've done your plank for a minute. Bam.

3. Water Up
      When I feel like I am near death, I drink my water because 1) its a break from the workout for like 15 seconds and 2) I ain't trying to pass out mid workout.

4. Do the Modified Move
      Reminder: its better to keep moving than die after going hard for 45 seconds. If you are taking a class, instructors are trained to know modified moves so just ask. They would rather you do that than give up. If you are doing your workout alone, take off weight or google the easier move.

5. Think of your Goals
    The amount of times I just wanted to end the workout because I wasn't feeling it are insane but if you can think of your goal, whether that to be overall healthier or to lose weight, it won't happen if you just give up.

6. Know your Limits
     Sometimes it is just better to know your body. If you think you could get hurt because you are doing a half butt workout, stop. Listen to your body.

7. Just Imagine you are Working Out with Harry
      TBH, just wanted to look at these pics for a bit.


I'm sure I have more tips but these are the ones that push me through every workout. Stay strong and don't forget to think of yourself. I'm proud of you for deciding to work on yourself.

See you Monday!

XOXO

I have been on the fence trying to decide if I wanted to update my blog on another day but I have decided yes! While you may see my snaps or videos of me while I'm at the gym, I hardly talk about how important health is to me. So I saw this as the perfect opportunity to talk about all things healthy.

Like everyone, weight has always played a major role in my life. While I have remained the same weight since I was 17, I never felt healthy. The summer after graduation I decided to do something about that. My family did actually. Our family has always been active but we decided to change our lifestyle.

If you want to follow my fitness tumblr, I highly suggest. nomoreexcuses110.tumblr.com I am always updating it and find it important to create a community to really push yourself when it comes to getting in shape. The tumblr community is amazing but the Blogilates community is perfect for the people who need a friendly push (aka me). Both can be major support systems if you let them.

During this first Fitness Friday post, I wanted to show you how to make my new favorite smoothie. The recipe is from Blogilates so all credit to her!

I may have stayed in for New Year's but that doesn't mean I couldn't do my hair and makeup! Here is my step by step guide on how I did my look!
