Hi everyone,
So some of you may wonder where have I been, why am I taking a long break from this blog, etc etc.
Well lets just say that work has been quite busy and I have been very occupied with living a healthier, happier life. What do I mean by that?
Well that includes a lot of sweating and pushing myself to the point of giving up.
So, yes. You may have guessed it, I've been gymming.
Working out after a long hiatus is never easy but taking the first step towards a better lifestyle also means I am setting out from crawling to wobbling to walking and onto running, hopping and skipping.
Gym membership can sometimes be a pain but if any of you are finding it difficult to sign up for a gym membership, don't worry. There are parks, gardens and playgrounds near you that you can make use of. Start by taking it slowly. A 30 minutes walk can transform to a 10 minutes run and go on to 15, 20, 25, 30 and before you know it, you are running the next half or full marathon.
If you hate running, then what can you do? Well I find that there are many parks that are equipped with outdoor gym and best of all, these are available to you for free. Make full use of it and if you find yourself too comfortable or not making progress, take it up a notch and spice things up. Work those deeper muscles and in no time will you have a great body. Sometimes even without you realising it.
Also, you can find many videos on youtube on 'Bodyweight Exercises' that absolutely do not need any equipment but can get you ripped. These are easily available and some even break things down to make it easier for your understanding on which muscles you should be working on and what are the common mistakes when doing that particular exercise.
Some stigma around exercising is that some girls will say that I don't want to be big and bulky. Let me correct this. Exercising does not necessarily get you big and bulky as long as you choose the correct exercises and target the correct muscles. What you get as an end result (if done correctly) is the reduction of fat tissues in areas that are particularly resistant especially your thighs, waist and arms. With the reduction of fat tissues, you essentially get a more toned and slim looking body. If you don't trust me, go check out Kayla Itsines' Bikini Body Guide programme and watch how her exercises changed the lives of so many ladies across the world. This girl is a bae. You can easily find her at https://www.kaylaitsines.com/.
So what are you waiting for? Get out there, work that body and enjoy the outcome.
PS: by no means do I own any of these photos. I got them off the internet so credits to the original sites.
Cheers
