It’s summer!

I’ll admit it’s not my favorite season, but I really do enjoy being out in the sunshine and relaxing in the warm weather. However, when it gets way too hot outside, I have to be indoors. I can’t stand the heat like that. Thankfully summer has not been off to a burning start. Instead, it’s been a very pleasant warm outside, which I love because it gives me a reason to be out and about engaging in some fun summertime activities.

Over the summer I usually like to stay indoors reading a good book for most of the day. I also love, love, love watching movies and binge-watching TV shows at night during the summertime. Something about it just makes it all seem a bit more…vibe worthy. If that makes any sense ha-ha.

This summer however, I’m choosing to switch it up a little. I’m still going to be indoors reading, watching movies and TV shows for most of the summer, but I’m also going to do my best to be a little bit more active.

I’m putting a heavy focus on my health and wellness this season. One of my health and wellness goals for this year was to be more active. Whether this meant walking more, doing more cardio, or just getting out and moving my body, I want to increase my daily level of physical activity. So, in addition to participating in some of my favorite and traditional summertime activities, I’m also going to try to get out as much as I can and soak up the sun.

Curious to know more? I hope so because I’m excited to share! Continue reading below to check out some of my favorite health and wellness summer activities, as well as some new ones I’m excited to try! [Read more…]

Exercising Tips for Beginners Starting a Fitness or Wellness Journey

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…]

Hey there love bugs!

As the summer approaches us I know some of us may be doing all that we can to look and feel our best. Whether this is changing up our eating habits, increasing our workouts, or just taking that extra time during the day to show ourselves some love, we’re all trying to love up on ourselves before the summer hits strong!

I know I most certainly am! And it’s not about having the “perfect beach body”, or “looking good in a bikini”, it’s really all about showing myself some self-love.

I can’t tell you the number of years I’ve spent hating my body. For a really long time I couldn’t stand looking at myself in the mirror or dressing myself a certain way because I just wasn’t comfortable in my own skin. And if I’m being honest there are still days when I look in the mirror and I nitpick at the smallest of things with my appearance, but I can honestly tell you that I love myself a whole lot more now than I ever did as a teenager.

That’s why I started working and engaging in self-care more often. I wanted to change the way I felt about myself from the inside out.

So, this year I’m kicking the self-love into high gear and I really want you to do the same! I’m planning on loving myself harder than I have ever loved myself before by making the commitment to stick to my ALL my fitness goals with the help of my Self-Love Fitness Planner Printable.

I’ll tell you more about that in a second, but first here are some quick tips on how you can stay on track with all your fitness goals this summer. [Read more…]

5 Health Tips to Help You Stay Healthy with A Busy Schedule

by

It can be hard to have the motivation and commitment to stay on track with all your health and wellness goals when you have a busy schedule ahead of you. Trust me I know. Sometimes the best way to get through a busy day is just to just get through it. This means you don’t really pay no mind to what you’re eating or how your taking care of your body.

You’re just on the go, getting things done as fast as you possibly can.

Been there, done that, and I still find myself reverting back to these bad habits from time to time. Here’s the thing, when we know we have a busy day/schedule ahead of us we don’t take the necessary time to prepare for it. Instead, we spend all that time “preparing” trying to map out in our heads the best way to accomplish all the tasks that need to be completed for the day as fast as we possibly can.

While there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this, it’s not the right way to approach the day. When we approach our busy days with the “how to accomplish these tasks” mindset, we miss the most important step prior to this day arriving.

The step of planning and preparing to stay on track with our health and wellness goals while we tackle the busy day. [Read more…]

How to Create the Perfect Workout Routine at Home in 4 Simple Steps + Free Printable!

Let’s face it.

We all want the positive health benefits that come with taking care of ourselves, but most of the time we don’t want to put in the necessary work to get there. There is no shame in this game. As much as I love working out and taking care of myself, I will be the first to admit that most days I have to get myself in the right mindset to accomplish it before actually performing the act.

The way I see it, it’s normal. Nobody wakes up and jut hops right into action. Everybody had to first allow for their bodies to wake up, find a burst of energy, before they can begin their day.

Here’s the deal. I like to complete my workouts in the morning, and no I’m not a morning person. For me, I believe it’s the perfect start to my day, it puts me in the right mindset for all the things on my list that I have to tackle, and most importantly it sets my mood for the day. Working out in the morning gives me the energy to greet the day that I might not otherwise find anywhere else.

But here’s the catch…

I only workout at home. [Read more…]
