Did you know on average around 80% of adults are not getting enough exercise? Maybe this statement means nothing to you because, hey, who would actually choose to work out on a regular basis? Going for a run? Lifting weights…
Why Building Muscle Is Important For Your Body’s Health

Here’s Why I Don’t Pay for a Gym

Fitness On Budget – Workouts for the Spring
More recently I’ve really been into working out and trying to eat right, and it’s actually been paying off! Since the holiday season I’ve actually lost 14 pounds, and hoping to shed a few more before the big day in a few months. It’s been an incredibly hard journey, but a very rewarding one. I find myself experimenting with healthier recipes or trying new workout plans, and it’s been fun to give my body what it truly needs.
However, being on a budget means it’s a bit hard for me to have a personal trainer and all that. Currently right now I don’t have a gym membership anywhere (unless I find a killer Groupon), so most of my workouts happen right in my living room. I usually try workout videos, or I find workout plans online.
I think the problem with fitness and nutrition in the millennial generation is thinking that it’s not doable with a busy schedule, or that it’s not a habit people care about anymore. Instead of trying to be healthy, the new norm for this generation is to binge watch TV and order takeout. Not saying those things are bad, I did them this past weekend. But I think it’s a habit that should happen in moderation, and we should truly be caring about how we treat the bodies that we live in. Which is why I’m excited to provide all of you with a few workout plans to get your fit and healthy this season.
