Hello steemians! About a year ago I was in the best shape of my life!
I was running up to mile a day, I was eating right, and I felt good! I felt really good in my clothes and I had more energy during the days to keep me going. Then I fell into the relationship trap where I was comfortable with the person I was with and not exercising or taking enough time for me which I should have been doing.
I think a lot of us tend to fall into this trap where we become comfortable with our partners and we stopped taking the time to exercise and truly take care of ourselves, when we really should be thinking don’t I want to stay attractive and fit for my partner? And more importantly for myself?
So I really started this year off trying to be my best self again get back into working out, to really connect my mind body and soul. And also just because I want to be healthier before It becomes a problem or before I feel I’m letting myself go.
Since we have so much information available to us via YouTube, exercise blogs, access to the Internet there’s not too much of a reason to have a gym membership anymore.. aside from a yoga class, or a spinning class here and there.
So I’m back in the saddle again so to speak and using steemit to really hold myself accountable. I’ll be blogging more about meals I’m making or planning including recipes Incase anyone else out there wants to jump onboard the fitness/wellness train with me!
I’m starting with baby steps, I’m speed walking a mile a day and stretch exercises as my warm up, and then doing various cardio or target muscle group exercises through YouTube.
My target areas are my arms to get rid of and prevent further arm jiggle. My stomach to get rid of and prevent further belly and back fat. And my legs and butt to tone and firm.
Some of the YouTube workout routines that I love are:

For legs and butt:

Now I am not a dietitian or weight loss expert but this is what has worked for me and I wanted to share with you!
Now who’s ready to get out of bed and back in shape with me!
