Six Months To Our Best Body Ever; Month One Lets Get Healthy And Sexy!

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and can actually see the bad food and bad choices you have made reflected on your skin, hair and even teeth? Well I have and thats all it took me to make some changes to my diet for the better. Here are the things I'm adjusting in my lifestyle to achieve my health and fitness goals and every Sunday I will start sharing new workouts, recipes, tips, and gear. Anything I feel will help us get The Our Best Health And Body Ever!  

 Lets quit drinking sodas, fried foods, and fast foods. This is not my first time trying to clean my diet and I bet its not yours either, so lets not make the same mistakes we have in the past. Notice that nothing I mention is a true necessity. Trust me you DO NOT need a soda or the poison they are feeding us in these Fast Food "Restaurants". 

If you feel like having a burger search a good reviewed restaurant known for their burger and REALLY treat yourself. Have a milk shake instead of that coke but hold the fries. The Key is balance. 

I cant explain what's different now then before but I LOVE WORKING OUT!! I had to say that in all caps because in all honesty I hated to work out. Like I used to do it, but the whole time I'm wishing I was somewhere else. I now look forward to it, I push myself harder and I love to feel the BURN! Right now I work out from home using Youtube videos and I enjoy it more then going to the gym. My husband is actually in the process of setting us up a Gym in the basement, I'm so looking forward to not having to put away my weight and matt after every workout. 

Below I shared the links to my favorite Youtube fitness channels, in these ones I usually find the right workout for the day and I can also decide how long I need it to be.

Group HIIT


I like to switch it up every day but always have one muscle group as the focus. Here is my current workout schedule:

So this is the beginning, the beginning of bettering ourselves. I want to make sure that we are all clear on something..... I'm giving myself six months to be in the best health and shape of MY life, your goals and mine can be completely different. It might be that you want to gain or loose weight, whatever your goal is give yourself six months to get there. In six months we will set new goals for the next six months! 

If you ever feel like giving up just remember that its a long process but quitting now will only make it longer. But also don't quit because you want this reaction in six months.......

6 Quick And Easy Workout You Can Do At Home/ 6 Ejercicios Fáciles Qué Puedes Hacer En Casa!

I know I probably sound like a broken record but moving SUCKS! As exciting as having a new house, plus the excitement of renovating it and watching your plans become a reality is. Its also very stressful and it has taken over my life. I had a pretty set schedule where no matter what I always took an hour and went to the gym and worked out. I've never had a problem committing to exercising I actually find I feel, think and obviously look better. Nowadays my day start around 7am and I don't go to sleep until midnight or sometimes even later. The only guaranteed time I have to myself is when I jump in the shower. I love the exercises below because I can do them anywhere in the house and they are quick and easy but you really feel them working. I rotate and always do at-least two every night before I jump in the shower. Do you have any favorite exercise you like to do from home?  

Good Luck, Xxx

Classic kick backs:
While on your hands and knees, place one leg in the air with your knees bent 90 degrees. Thrust the leg upward with your foot parallel to the ceiling and contract your glut, then lower your leg back down. Repeat for 50 counts on the right leg, then 50 counts on the left leg. I do this every night before I sleep, it literally takes 5 minutes. 

Plie Squat:

Stand tall with feet wider than shoulders, legs straight, abs engaged and toes turned out at a 45-degree angle. Inhale and bend only your knees (don’t bend forward at the hips) until your thighs are nearly parallel to the floor.

Wall PushUp:
Place your hands shoulder-width apart on a sturdy wall in front of you, feet slightly apart, abs engaged, back and legs straight. Lift your heels to balance on your toes and lean forward slightly so most of your weight is on your arms. Inhale as you bend your elbows and lean your body farther toward the wall, maintaining a long, straight line from head to toe.

Bridge:
Lie on your back with your arms at your sides, feet flat and hip-width apart, knees bent, abs engaged and back straight. Exhale as you squeeze your glutes and press your hips toward the ceiling while keeping your back straight. Inhale as you slowly release your hips to the floor and complete I do about 50 of these.

Chair Squat:
Stand in front of chair, feet hip-distance apart, toes forward. Lean chest slightly forward. Bend knees, tap (don't sit!) bottom on chair, then stand up. Keep your weight in your heels and keep knees over toes.

Side Plank: 
Lie on your right side with your legs straight. Prop yourself up with your right forearm so your body forms a diagonal line. Rest your left hand on your hip. Brace your abs and hold for 60 seconds. If you can't make it to 60 seconds, hold for 5 to 10 seconds and rest for 5; continue for 1 minute. Be sure your hips and knees stay off the floor.
