Hey everyone! I am SO sorry it has been so long since my last post! I was lucky enough to be hired at my dream job (about which I have zero complaints), so life has just been absolutely crazy! But never fear, this working girl has been brainstorming outfit and post ideas so there will be much more coming your way soon!
For today's post, I wanted to talk about my favorite subject...fitness! I know what you're thinking, "Ugh, Heather, working out is such a drag!" But that's where you're wrong, my dear readers. Yes, if you put all of your focus into your work out, it can be a total bummer. Focus on your outfit, however, and all of a sudden working out becomes the best part of your day!
When it is as warm as it has been here in sunny Cali, this is my go-to outfit for exercising. The shorts are my favorite pair, because they are classic black, which goes with everything. Personally, I like to pair them with white tank tops like the one I'm sporting (pun intended!), because I am ALL about neutral colors. You can't really tell, but even my sports bra is neutral- gray! The one thing I do love to have some color on is my shoes. The little pop of peach on my Nikes is just what I need to make this outfit fun!
Can't forget the hairstyle! I am rocking the top knot once again, because it's cute, it keeps my hair out of my face while I'm working out, and it means I don't have to wash my hair. Score!
The BEST part about this outfit is its versatility. And if you guys read my last post, you know I am all about versatility in my outfits! This one is great for a number of different activities, such as the following:
Tennis!
Walking your dog!
Biking!
And SO much more!
Now, I don't actually do any of those activities. But I do want to share with you the exercises I do and a week-long look at what my diet looks like. Because even if you have an obviously perfect bod like mine, it's important to be healthy and exercise!
I really try to just focus on basic cardio, which really consists of me going up and down the stairs throughout the day. Say I forgot something upstairs, or I want to stop watching TV in the living room and want to switch to my TV in my bedroom. It is SUCH a great work out! I have demonstrated the moves for you below, so you can try at home!
Step 1: Stand at the bottom of the stairs.
Step 2: Go up the stairs one at a time.
Step 3: Go down the stairs one at a time.
...and done!
A few reps of that a day, and I am feeling the burn!
Now a look at my meals in a typical week:
As you can see, I stick to a strict and structured diet plan. This is important when you are trying to maintain your current physique. Don't try to switch it up from day-to-day, just stick with what you know and what feels good for your body!
Well, I think I have now given away ALL of my secrets, but you guys are totally worth it. I wouldn't be anything without you readers! Stay tuned for my next post, coming soon! And remember, fitness is FUN!
