HOMEmade workout

Don't have a gym membership? Or just not enough time to make it to the gym? Don't let that discourage you from getting in a great workout. Getting to the gym on a college campus is no easy task with the parking restrictions and even once you're there, there's no guarantee you'll get a machine you want. So take it from me, with your body and about 20 feet of space, you've got everything you need to get fit at home. The key though, is to single task. Multitasking results in us doing neither task as well as we should, according to research published in the journal NeuroImage. So if you're going to work out at home you have to commit your full attention to it, you can't watch TV or start your dinner cooking in the over at the same time. Listening to music however is a great motivator and it distracts you from the discomfort of physical exertion. You'll work out harder, faster and better. Also, you don't have to keep yourself confined to the inside of your house or apartment just because your working out "at home." Change things up and change up the scenery by going for a run or a walk outside. I find that running outside puts me in a good mood and then when I get back to my apartment I'm pumped up and ready to continue my workout with some crunches and weight training.

The newest addition to my home training facility, also known as my living room. 

Welcome to my blog!

In creating this blog my goal is to provide my followers with useful exercise and diet tips to help them live a healthier lifestyle. I myself have always tried to live a healthy life, actively participating in sports and activities all through my years of school and dancing for 12 years. But once I got to college it became a little harder to stay fit since I was constantly busy with school and had to learn to create my own workout regimen. As I get older, my health and fitness becomes more and more important to me and I find that I respect myself more and feel better about myself in everything I do when I feel good. So all these tips that I'll be posting in my blog are tips that I use in my own life. I wouldn't ask other people to listen to my advice if I wasn't listening to it myself. I hope you enjoy all my posts and commit to be fit!
