I have discovered yoga

Yoga. At first I thought it was a bit boring. It's slow and I felt like I had to run or do some with a higher paste to firm up my body. It felt sorta like doing yoga was a waste of time..cause I did not feel that tired after doing it.

But after doing yoga on my own for the last two weeks (3 times a week) I feel the difference.
I can't see it yet, but I can feel it. My body feels stronger and more flexible. I can tell I'm getting stronger since doing all the different moves are not so difficult anymore. My arms can hold me up longer in a straight plank.

As for now I am doing yoga at home. Either in the morning before school or at night before I go to relax on the sofa.

The videos I've been loving :

17 minutes to spare - This is by Sadie Nardini. You can do this video more times after each other if you have more time and energy

7 min. Strength - Tara Styles. Check out some of her other videos too

Doing yoga really does calm my body. Makes me feel focused.
Try some of this videos out. Give it a week or two and feel the difference :)

November workout

Wow, It's november !
I went to Starbucks this morning and they have gotten their Christmas design on their cups. It feels more like Christmas already. I got the peppermint mocha which is my Christmas favorite.

Anyway I wanted to start a gym, but I have not gotten to it. Instead I have been using these videos from youtube to get some workout into my week.

I try to do them 3 times a week :

Warm up 

Get some Cardio 

Get Lean

I do all of them after each other. It's not to long, maybe 40-50 min together.
Also try more of their videos and mix it up for a fun workout.

Have a good week !!

Perfect butt workout

This workout is by Pop Pilates. It is a super workout that I would do 3 times a week to get a nice effect. My butt is my problem area. After doing this for two weeks I can see a slight change and I like it.

Here is the video

It is only 18 minutes so you can do it in the morning or before you go to bed :)
Your ass will thank you in a couple of weeks.

Workout Gear

I bought this little thing. It counts your calories, shows the time you used on your workout and the distance.
I think it is so so so cute. It also has an alarm.. say if you want to workout for 20 minutes - it will tell you when your done.

This will be a good tool to help me stay motivated and to log my workout on dailymile.com.

You put it in front of your hips so it can count your movement.

A rope = My Best Friend

I have had this rope for a couple of months and pretty much use it every day.

I leave it on the floor.. so every time I walk past I pick it up an start jumping (about 30 jumps). Sometimes 30 x 3 = 90

When I see it laying there I don't forget to use it !!!! 


My legs and bum thanks me

So I have had a bit of a Summer Break :)

Anyway I have been really good at working out lately.
For the last two months I have worked out 4-5 times a week.
I have been doing yoga, swimming, jogging and rollerblading. It is sometimes hard to get out of bed in the morning, but I have really pushed myself.
