Sunrise Yoga!

Happy Humpday Followers!

My newest recommendation for all of you in Sunrise/ early morning yoga!  

Yoga itself is a relaxing practice, that helps you energize, strengthen and stretch your muscles. 

Getting your yoga practice done in the morning will give you all the energy you need for your day. This is a great way to get your workout into your day in the morning and start your day feeling accomplished. I love to practice yoga and the mornings are definitely my favorite. 

Try it out & let me know what you think!

Top 5 Rules of a Cheat Meal!

Cheat meals are allowed and you can still reach your goals. Actually, they may be important in the journey to a healthier lifestyle.

Everyone believes that eating bad for one meal ruins your diet, but that is not true! One bad meal will not, I repeat, will not, make you gain weight back that you have lost, unless you do NOT know how to control yourself. Control is key!

Here are 5 tips to help you with cheat eating. They are very helpful and all extremely true and valid points to bring you a successful indulgent meal.
1. NO GUILT. You have to enjoy what you're eating! You made the choice to eat it, so savor the flavor and if you feel a little worse after it, make it up in your next workout. Do an extra couple of reps or run and extra half-mile. It's not the end of the world!

2. PLAN. If you plan when to have your cheat meals, you will less likely to cheat the rest of the week. For example, if you're going to cheat for Sunday dinner, make sure you tell yourself that when you go reach for that double chocolate chip muffin Wednesday morning...

3. PORTION CONTROL. This is a HUGE part of weight-loss and healthy living. You can be the healthiest person out there, but if you eat more than you should and don't control your portions, it will only negatively affect you. A cheat meal is a treat for you, its not a ticket for a junk food binge day. Be mindful of that, because even when it tastes really good, you shouldn't go for multiples.

4. LIMIT THE NUMBER. You should allow yourself about 2-3 cheat meals per week. This allows you to remain a healthy-eater, but not cut yourself out of real-life eating. If you always deprive yourself of what you want, you are destine to fail.

5. MOVE ON. So now that you have had your cheat meal, think about how great it was, but also think how great you look because of your change in lifestyle, to one that's healthier. Remember that once you have one bad meal, it doesn't warrant you to go off and revert back to your old, unhealthy ways. Love every minute of your meal, and when its over, its over. Move on and take it out of your thoughts, and replace those with how much you love the feeling after achieving a new PR at the gym. Those are my fav!

Follow these steps when having your cheat meal and you will learn to control yourself in a whole new way!

To all the ladies working on firming your booty for summer, here a great little circuit to add into your workout 3 times a week. Doing the same exercises can get boring, so switch it up this week and try my go-to booty blasting workout! 

Usually I do this without weights, which is fine as long as you squeeze your glutes while doing every exercise, and even though it hurts, I promise it helps! 

You can switch up the order however you would like and add some variety in if you want, which I tend to do. 

In order, I usually do:

25 Squat Jumps 

25 Glute Kickbacks

25 Glute Pulses 

25 Fire Hydrant Side Lifts

25 Glute Bridges 

25 Walking Lunges 

25 Side Leg Ups 

(Repeat 3 Times) 

I do the squat jumps first because they are definitely the hardest exercise I'm the circuit in my opinion! Either way, if you follow my harder variation of the workout or the orginal, you should FEEL THE BURN IN YOUR BOOTY! While doing this you want to squeeze your muscles and make sure you feel the exercise while you're doing it. Work that booty girl!

Feel free to comment and share your favorite booty workout or how you think this one is after you try it! 

Stay Fit! XOXO 

STAY POSITIVE!

 

Positivity will take you to great places. I wanted to tell all of you to believe in yourselves. You can do it and you will do it, you just have to keep up, push yourselves and don't give up!

 

Stay Fit! XOXO
