Rock Your Body
So like most people, one of my new year’s resolutions was to get into better shape, and like most people, I haven’t exactly stayed true to that resolution. But now that school is over and I have less to worry about I have decided to jump right back into a healthier lifestyle.
I was able to get a membership at my University’s gym, which was luckily only $66 dollars for the whole summer (new graduates get the student rate for the first semester after they graduate). That was definitely a nice surprise.
My boyfriend and I are both set on healthier lifestyles so we are planning on going to the gym (most likely 5 or 6 days a week) as well as doing other things such as hiking, walking and playing tennis. Once I get a new bike we can also go biking on the trails around here, which I love! I also like to do yoga at home in my free time, as well as other workout videos such as cardio and sculpting.
As far as eating goes, our biggest downfall is that especially when we are exhausted from work and such, we tend to go out to eat. Aside from being expensive it is also usually unhealthy. So I plan on eating more whole grains (I love wheat pasta!) and vegetables (which I am very picky about). I also want to try to drink more water (which should be easy since I just got a new Nalgene bottle that is so cute!).
So here’s a few of my essentials for completing my goal of a healthier lifestyle:
Gaiam yoga mat
Nalgene water bottle
Nike Shox
Any yoga mat would do, but I got my Gaiam mat at TJ Maxx for around 8 bucks on sale and their products are eco-friendly, so even better!
I just bought a new Nalgene, I lost mine last year and I bought a metal water bottle, like the Sigg ones, but I’m not really a fan of those. So I bought another Nalgene the other day.
I’ve had my Nike Shox for a couple years. I scored them on E-bay for $50 dollars and I got lucky because they had never been worn and were in excellent condition. I have really high arches in my feet and find most sneakers really uncomfortable, but these shoes fit great.
So wish me luck in my healthy lifestyle endeavor!
