Happy Fitness Tuesday everyone! It is the final Tuesday of 2016 and it’s time to finish this year out strong. Now I know everyone makes and breaks their new year’s resolutions, but this year I am also making a fitness resolution. Over the past 6 ½ months I have committed myself to working out more and having a healthier diet. I have noticed a transformation not only in my body, but in how I feel in my everyday life. Khloe Kardashian had it right when she said her new body isn’t a revenge body. She said it was a reset body in order to reset her body to a better place than it was before. Numbers on a scale don’t mean anything as we have also seen in so many articles you can be the same weight, but your body can look totally different. All that matters is how you feel about yourself and how you feel while wearing your clothes. In 2017 my fitness resolution is to continue to hit the gym as I have been at like 5 – 6 days a week. If I need to have more of a rest and only do 4 days one week that is okay too! You should rest and allow your body to recover after intense work outs. Part of my fitness resolution I want to continue to cook at least 2 out of my 3 meals a day at home. I know that I eat better when I cook at home because I know what is going into my food and I can better portion out my meals. If you are trying to start 2017 with being better about your fitness my biggest suggestion for all of you is to start out slow. I used to work out 6 days a week my final semester in college and I lost that once I started graduate school. This past summer when I wanted to get back into better shape and needed something to do during the day I took it slow. I started with 3 classes a week at different places and found what worked best for me not only for my body, but for my schedule. I know in 2017 I will switch up my workouts a bit because you don’t want to continue to do the same thing every week because then you won’t see the results you are seeking. Remember it doesn’t matter what everyone in the class is doing or what others at the gym are doing it matters what works for you and your body. Hope everyone has a great final Tuesday of 2016 and look forward to Fitness Tuesday in 2017!
