Friday Fit Club - A pre-spring/summer pep talk

Ah spring! It's right around the corner for most of you. Here in Texas, she keeps poking her head out and then running and hiding. But we always find her. :-) For me, spring means SUMMER IS CLOSE! Y'all know how much I love the sun so it's not shocking that summer is my favorite season (yes I even love the 100 degree summer days we get). I get to play outside and become the gorgeous golden goddess I am meant to be ;-)
Spring/summer inevitably means tank tops, short shorts, bathing suits and bikinis. Ah the bikini...my favorite summer wardrobe.
This time of year, people are crash dieting or not eating and even spending HOURS in the gym to ensure that they are bikini ready, nearly killing themselves to have the perfect summer body.  NOOOOOO!!!! I wish I could scream it to everyone! MODERATION is key! Stop depriving yourself and instead moderate yourself. Make healthier decisions. Summer is the time for fruits...have a sweet peach (or fruit of your choice) instead of that double chocolate chip cookie. Make a cooling fruit smoothie instead of buying a calorie induced frappe when the temps start to rise. Oh and let's not forget WATER, WATER, WATER. Because of cooler temps, we've been stuck indoors. Now that it's warming up, get outside. Go for a walk or run outside, or just go to the park.
Instead of stressing upon the impending seasons, let's fill this spring and summer season with fun, confidence and moderation.

Friday Fit Club - YouTube it!


Still kinda stumped on what workouts to do? Want to try something new or different from your "regular" routine? Look no further than good ol' YouTube! There are TONS of FREE workouts on YouTube...a shit ton!
When I start to slip into a slump or get to a point where everything is just too repetitive, I seek out my fave fitness YouTubers.
Here's a workout from blogilates that I absolutely LOVE!!! A great, to the point type of workout that will make you feel shaky, in a good way :-) Try it out and let me know how you like it
