My Fitness Regime and Tips

Hi Guys, I have just started getting back in to my usual fitness regime, I do love fitness and working out (especially yoga) it helps me feel confident and motivated in my day to day life. I think that there is 101million ways to improve and build your fitness level so I though I would share routine with you all today. xx

For me the best two things I can do to get me motivated to get my bum gear and get doing a workout is a great outfit and some "thinspiration". For my work out gear I love to wear something with a pattern on as it helps to distract the eyes away from any unwanted areas, I always colour co-ordinate whether that's all black a bright funky pattern or just some block colours. I the reason I think it helps me stay focus is because I'm proud of what I'm wearing so if I accidentally catch a glimpse of myself in the gym mirror atlas my outfit looks good. 

 I also like to inspire myself with some "thinspiration" pictures and quotes some of my favourite icons are Michelle Keegan, Candice Swanopeol, Megan Fox and Ariana Grande I love to flick through there pictures on Instagram and it helps to give me something I can aspire to. I also like the keep motivation and inspirational quotes on my pinterest as there is nothing better than reading something that makes you smile and want to jump right into the subject matter.

I am a keen Yoga enthusiast I always have at least one personal yoga class (1.5hrs) and usually do 1 group class (45mins) a week as well as doing my own sessions at home in front of the tv. Yoga is one of my favourite forms of exercise as it is specifically designed to be a forfeiting workout using techniques of stretching, holding and twisting to elongate and improve muscle strength and when taught well is mixed in breathing exercising and counter poses that release tension and prevent the body from damage. The best thing about it is that it is so stress relieving and relaxing plus there is no aching the day after. I suffer with back, sleeping and breathing problems this is form of exercise that helps me with all of  those issues whilst be super fun and challenge it. If you've tried it before and it didn't really feel like it was doing anything try doing a vinyāsa based class as this is constant flowing moving that create heat making your body work harder.

I also like to go to the gym twice to three times a week (3-4 times if I don't do Yoga that week) and I like to do one cardio fat burning session, one strength and muscle building session and one group class.

In my cardio sessions I like to do a lot of interval training as I find that it is an intense for of exercise that really works I use mostly machines for this day including the treadmill (10-12 mins of 1min on 20secs off) the cross trainer (10mins increasing resistance) the rowing machine and I mix these with circuit interval training which include jumping jack squats, burpies, mountain climbers, step jumps. I like to learn new moves ever couple of weeks designing to increase the heart rate. 

For my strength training session I do a mixture of weights and mat based work. I like to do 10-14reps 3times of things like push ups, swats, lunges, dumbbells, kettle bells, planks, bicycle crunches, Russian twists and crunches. I also try to keep these moves updated every couple of weeks as well. 

Finally for my classes I just do what ever I feel wasn't worked as hard that week e.g an abs class or anything that sounds fun and high energy, I try to always pick a class over 45mins long. Some of my favourite classes are combat/boxing, legs bum and tums, intense core/abs and fat burn.

 I wish yo all good luck for your fitness journeys I'll keep you up to dat with how mines going just remember guy tailor your week routine to include things that you enjoy fitness it supposed to be difficult but it also meant to fun too. xx

Workout Outfits

Hi Guys, As it is the start of a new year and I know that a lot of people will be hoping to get fit and healthy for the years to come. Why not kick start your year with some great workout inspiration, your clothes. For me its a big motivation to have stylish work out clothes not only because they look and feel nice but because they can help boost your confidence and help with setting goals. I like to start by purchase a staple black outfit and some fresh new prints ready for the season. I try to order the co-ordinating items even if they are a bit flashing as I hope one day to have a figure I would be proud to show off. 

I have put together some different workout outfit ideas that will hopefully inspire you to go that extra mile in your training. xx

Look 1 - For the first look I went with super fun and relaxed that could be worn at a yoga practise, gym class or just lounging with some friends. My favourite part of this outfit is the exposed back top and looks beautiful with a brightly coloured sports bra underneath and it also helps to keep you cool whilst training. The bottoms are flexible with a splash of colour to bring the outfit together. I finished the look with the Withings pulse sports watch I feel this bit of technology is great for giving you encouragement and realistic goals to meet I would team it with all my work out gear with its interchangeable straps.

Look 2 - This second look is put together with my stale pieces of a well fitted well price black pair of bottoms and matching crop top. As I don't like to show of my stomach just yet (lets get the abs first) I throw on a simple muscle back tank top to cover up. The pants and top are from us pro which means they are very affordable but the quality is fantastic they bottoms even have a secret zip pocket in the back perfect for keeping your keys in. I went with simple accessories this rucksack is chic and rooming meaning you can fit all your workout gear and any items you need for the day and even your extra light Nike Rosche sneakers for a final touch.

Look 3 - My final look has these fun snake printed trousers from Nikes luxury line sold a net a porter the colour is amazing and perfect for a late night run in the dark, yet extremely flattering when teamed with block colours. I went for my favourite option a black hoodie, this one is made of a soft lightweight material designed to keep you warm without weighing you down. I added a matching bag big enough to fit a gym towel and a change of clothes in for going to the gym and finished with a sleek pair of rose gold headphones. Nothing helps me run like having a soundtrack to my life in my ears.
