Fitness at Home

Hey everyone!! Today I wanted to share with you some of the things I’ve been doing and incorporating into my life to stay on track with being healthy and fit. It’s been especially hard since quarantine, I’ve had lots of ups and downs with my fitness/weightloss progress, but I feel that I’ve finally found a routine that is right for me that I’ve been able to fit into my busy life as a mom of 2! I’m not a doctor or trainer, these are just tips that have worked for me so I always recommend checking with your doctor before starting any new diets/workout programs!! Photos below are results from 2 weeks of implementing these things into my daily routine!

NUTRITION:

I start my day by drinking at least 8 ounces of water or more before I even drink my coffee. I drink about 60-70 ounces of water total throughout the entire day! Staying hydrated is super important and definitely helps when trying to slim down. Breakfast is usually something small and quick like nuts and dried fruit, or yogurt with walnuts, strawberries and cinnamon, a great, flat belly food!! I also love making smoothies, because they are fast and it’s easy to add different types of protein to them.

I always try to cook healthy dinners as well with lots of veggies but dinner usually has more carbs than the meals earlier in the day. I have one day on the weekend when I allow myself to splurge and eat some of my not-so-healthy favorite foods.

WORKOUTS/EXERCISE:

There is a workout I do about 3 times a week. I will list the workout below. I also go for walk with my family most nights after dinner. A good cardio workout I like to do about twice a week is a jump rope sweat session. It’s only 20 minutes but let me tell you, it is INTENSE. This workout is from Chloe Gottschalk and I will link her instagram below where you can find this workout and tons of others as well!! She’s amazing!! Fitness at home is possible!!!

The other workout that I do 3 times per week is a full body workout, and I repeat each group twice for this workout! It consists of….

Legs

• 30 walking lunges
• 10 side lunges (10 each side)
• 15 jump squats

ABS

• 30 second mountain climbers
• 25 crunches
• 30 bicycle crunches
• 20 reverse crunches
• 20 plank with side taps

Arms

• 20 push-ups
• 15 triceps dips
• 20 biceps curls with resistance band
• 20 triceps kickback with resistance band
• 50 forward arm circles
• 50 backward arm circles

Then I like to finish with 5 minutes of various stretches ( also a good idea to do the same prior to starting the workout.)

There you have it!! I hope these tips/workouts help you reach your fitness goals like they helped me! Below are some resistance bands and a yoga mat that is very similar to mine that you can grab on Amazon if you don’t already have them!!
