Here’s the deal. Every year everyone looks forward to transforming into the best version of themselves. They want to be better, do better, and even look better than the year before. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to improve on yourself, the reality is that not everyone sticks to those kinds of goals.

Especially when they are made at the beginning of the year and involve transforming your body.

Now of course there are people who actually do follow through with those goals, and by the end of the new year they end up literally being the best version of themselves. However, there are probably even more people who don’t. Why you might ask?

To be honest I don’t know, but if I had to guess, I would say it’s because everyone thinks that in order to transform their bodies, they have to get a gym membership. A gym membership symbolizes some kind of commitment to workout and follow through with working out consistently. Therefore, everyone rushes to the gym to begin their transformation journey.

The reality of setting personal goals that directly impact your health and wellness is that its’ not something that magically happens overnight. You have to work hard at it, day in and day out, until you get to that desired goal. And even then, to maintain it you have to remain consistent. Otherwise I promise you all that hard work will slip right between your fingertips.

And believe it or not you don’t need a gym membership to get the job done. [Read more…]

Whether you’ve been working out for a couple of day, a few weeks, a few years, or maybe you’re just starting out, there’s always a starting point to your fitness and wellness journey. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been on your fitness or wellness journey, when you started and whether it has come to an end, there was once specific point and time in your life where you’ve had to start the journey.

Before we dive into this post, I want to share a quick story with you about my fitness and wellness journey.

My fitness and wellness journey started for me nearly 5 years ago and it’s been a constant up and down battle. There have been many times when I’ve been able to remain consistent with working out, as well as many times when I’ve lost track of my goals and have let all my hard go to waste. I’m talking about not remaining consistent with my workouts, going from eating healthy to eating terrible, drinking more soda than I did water…just a complete backtrack on all my hard work.

It took me years before I finally found something that just worked for me. Even upon discovering what worked best for me, I still struggled with remaining consistent with working out, eating healthy, and drinking plenty of water. This was because I found myself starting my fitness and wellness journey over many, many times which meant that a lot of my bad habits were not broken.

However, after nearly 3 years of working out with Blogilates, I finally found my groove. I’ll admit, the first 2 years was still a bit of a struggle for me, but working out with Cassey was the most consistent with any workout routine that I had ever been. So, after years of trying to find my tribe, I decided to stick with Cassey. And I’m so glad I did! [Read more…]
