design a life you love
We all occasionally struggle with staying motivated when it comes to fitness, particularly during these cold and short winter days. When you are spending the majority of your time bundled up in multiple layers, it is easy to lose track of fitness goals. This year, in an effort to inspire both myself as well as all of you, I put together an 8 week spring workout plan to motivate us and give us a collective kick in the butt so that we can achieve all our spring and summer body goals.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we are in the home stretch of the summer of 2018. (I know, I know, it physically pains me to even think about it, too!) If you are anything like me, you need a bit of extra motivation to keep your summer fitness routine going once the temperatures begin to dip. This roundup of end of summer home workouts is here to save the day! This collection contains everything from quick and easy 10 minute routines designed to target your whole body to intense 45 minute classes that will make you sweat like you’ve never sweat before.
I have never previously shared this fact on my blog but I really dislike gyms. I have never liked them and don’t anticipate that changing. From a young age I couldn’t help but feel self conscious at gyms and fearful I was making a fool of myself. I know that in reality these are my own insecurities and that nobody is paying any attention to what I, or anyone else, is doing within the confines of a gym but it remains a strong reaction that I can not seem to shake. I would much rather work out in the privacy of my own home.
Now this isn’t to say that I have not always exercised regularly. Quite the contrary actually. I have always exercised a minimum of four days a week for the past decade of my life and only plan on incorporating more physical activity into my daily life as I age. It has a huge and inarguable impact on my mental health and is something I very much need in my life to keep me in a positive and motivated headspace.
As you might imagine, I have become a bit of a connoisseur of home workouts over the years. I, like all of you, am short on time and need to get the best possible results in the shortest amount of time. I’m sharing the most effective and best home workouts I have found with you today in hopes that you will be inspired to squeeze a mind and body improving workout into your busy days as well.
