Calisthenics and using your own body
I've found out that I prefer using my own body weight as a strength training mechanism (even though I still use the boring machines). I do butt lifts, girly push ups, planking, and some other simple moves. What is YOUR favorite move? What website do you like? How do you personalize your workout? Looking for new ideas to…

I plan on passing the first time. I also plan on losing about 5lbs during this time. I know I will not be able to work out often. It's going to be mainly…

Turn me on
During my run today, I found a new perspective on "Turn Me On" by David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj. Imagine your body singing this to you as a cry for help: Oh you make it right My temperature is super high If I scream, if I cry It's only 'cause I feel alive My body needs a hero Come and save me Something tells me you know how…

My 5k playlist
I am the type that likes to have a good beat to run to but also to have messages in the lyrics to help keep me motivated because let's be honest after 10mins I want to quit. I don't, I keep going, and here is my list: 60 minutes (I added an extra song or two in case I feel like skipping a song) 1. Tailspin - Theme Song…

HRM band - Girl issues
I am going to be getting a Garmin Forerunner 405. My dad let me borrow his to try out. I put the HRM band on under my breasts like you are supposed to. I feel like it kind of interfered with my sports bra. The HRM picked up my heart rate but only a couple of seconds. I had to press buttons and mess around for it to get…
