How to Start a Workout Routine

Hi all,

I am sorry it has been a long time since I have written a post. I have been going through a lot in life and I will be sure to post more about that later. I know I missed the whole #NewYearNewMe stuff and all the New Years resolutions. However, I am hoping that everyone is sticking to their plans and that you all are still wanting to crush your goals that you set at the beginning of the year.

Now I know life gets busy between work, school, kids, dogs, or any other thing that can take up your free time. Hey, let me tell you it is still possible to fit a workout routine into your schedule. I was a full time college student working two jobs and maintaining a pretty good social life and still found an hour out of my day five days per week to hit the gym. Now I know it is easier said than done and I understand that. If an hour is too much time out of your day, try a 30 minute workout. If driving to the gym wastes too much time, try to do a HITT workout in your living room. There are plenty of options depending on your goals and time limits.

First, you need to think of your goals. Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to gain muscle? Do you want to lean out? Do you want an overall healthier lifestyle? These are important questions to ask yourself when you are thinking of how to fit a workout routine in your schedule that fits your goals. Because why would you make time for something that isn’t going to achieve your end goal right? Obviously, if you want to lift weights and gain a good amount of muscle you may need to make some time to go to the gym. However, if you want to lose weight, maintain a healthy lifestyle, or lean out there are plenty of 30 minute HITT workout videos on Youtube that will get the job done. Or, if you want to attend a gym; there are some gyms that have guided fitness classes. And of course some diet changes may also need to be implemented in order to achieve your goals. Your homework is to really consider your goals and how you are going to achieve them. Don’t be afraid to drop some comments below!:) I want to hear your goals and success stories!
