The Road to Being Happy - Fitness

For most of my life I never really care about myself whether it be appearance or well being. My mind was to focused on other things to even care about looks or being healthy. That was until about a year and a half ago. I began to feel unhappy with myself and didn't feel right.

Working out has honestly helped me feel a lot better about myself. Now I'm going to throw this out there and say, I am in no way shape or form doing this in aim to be considered 'skinny' and 'body worth'. I am simply doing this to have a healthier life style and feel better about myself. I've also found that working out clears the mind incredibly well.

I'm going to be honest I still consider myself a beginner at this. I can never keep to one schedule however I managed to do my workout at least three times a week. Here is a rough outline of what I do.

100 crunches
30 lunges
40 squats
50 inner thigh lifts
60 second wall sit
30 second side plank
1 minute plank

Now this is actually quite a killer, especially the crunches however i feel great once it's down (and the pain is nearly over)

If you are someone who wants to being to change their lifestyle and begin working out do remember;

Drink water, this is extremely crucial as you need to keep your body hydrated and sweating (which you will most likely do) loses a deal of water.

Pace yourself, going too fast without a build up can cause an injury which is never good!

You will not see results straight away, that's just not how it works.

Apps to help;

One things that helped me stay focused and motivated is and app called 'pump up'. This is where you can see other peoples efforts and get inspired from it. The app also includes workouts to fit your needs. If you feel like it you can take a look at my profile (katjohnsn) and check it out for yourselves.

Seven is a great app for quick work outs, The set workout given only takes around about seven minutes which is great for mornings or busy days. I don't use it much but when I do it's worth it.

Zombie run. This is something I love, I'd heard about it on Tumblr and decided to buy it to see how well it actually helped. I love it! Being a enthusiastic gamer probably helped me decided this as when you start the app you are in a 'zombie apocalypse' The sound effects are so real!

Anyway, hope you enjoyed this and could take something from it.

Until next time!
