I started this blog because of a school project. We were to create a blog on something personal, something we know, something unique and something others could relate to. Originally the main focus was going to be on running 5ks but after a rundown of information I ran out of things to say. I needed to expand my topic. This blog will be all about loving yourself and working towards a healthy lifestyle along with a few fun and challenging 5ks to challenge and reward yourself with.
So........say you don't have the time to go to the gym. Or maybe you don't the money. Personally, I share a car and time just isn't on my side when it comes to the gym. Nor is paying for a gym membership. I am aiming to save money to move when I graduate next year. While I sometimes miss out on weight training there is ZERO excuse as you why you can't do cardio. You can run around the park or speed walk up and down your street. There are plenty of workout videos you can buy but if you want to go the cheaper route - go to youtube. Above is a video by Pilates instructor Cassey Ho. Her main focus is pilates and yoga but at times she does post cardio videos. The one above is great for a beginner. You don't have to do it all at once, you can stop and take breaks. It doesn't mean you're a failure - the whole point is to get it done to the best of your ability.
Cassey Ho may not be your cup of tea, she talks a lot and is incredibly upbeat. Sometimes I think she may have inhaled a couple of 5 hour energies before filming BUT I will take her over Jillian Michaels any day. No disrespect to Jillian she seems to be a kick ass trainer but I rather have a perky personality teaching me than feel like I am in boot camp and getting screamed at. To each their own. Below is another cardio workout by Cassey that is a bit more challenging
