As mentioned in our fitness + you post on Wednesday, here are some links to websites and products that can keep you motivated to exercise whether it's at home or at the gym. My only incentive for listing these links is that I think they are great, and I want to share them with you.
Zuzkalight is a great website to use for at-home workouts, think cross fit at home. Each workout consists of basic moves like squats and pushups, and you don't have to worry about following choreography. There is a different workout posted everyday, and a lot of them can be modified if you don't have exercise equipment at home. The best part? Each workout is 12-15 minutes, and it is intense. This workout is just over 14 minutes and is a good example of a workout that you can get a lot out of even without using additional equipment. She shows you briefly what each exercise looks like, and then takes you through the workout. The goal is to complete as many rounds as possible. She explains all about her ZWOW workouts here. She also offers more core focused and less heart-rate-peaking workouts like this one. And by the way, using the website itself is free.
Gymbox offers new workouts each week. If you enjoy choreography they offer kickboxing, dance, and step aerobics. They also offer yoga, pilates, core, and strength training. And if you happen to have a treadmill or stationary bike at home they offer treadmill and cycle classes as well. They have an app that can be used on your tablet, pc, or on your tv via many internet browsing devices such as roku. They offer a 15 day free trial and you can view sample classes here. If you decide it is for you it is only $10 a month.
I heart Lululemon and the get-to-the-gym motivation that can come via a new piece of well designed, quality fitness wear. I have this headband [shown below] in black and white. I love how wide it is, it keeps my hair out of my eyes, it looks cute, and it doubles as a wear-all-the-time-while-I-grow-my-hair-out piece. It is an affordable lululemon piece and a nice addition to any fitness wardrobe.
These pants are also Lululemon [shown to the right]. Their pants are pricey but worth the money because they fit so well, they are sassy, and they last forever. Sassy pants are an important part of any workout, especially when you have a date with the treadmill - they make you run faster. | |

Sorry clementine is a recent discovery of mine. This girl started out sewing pieces and selling them on etsy. She has some well designed and unique pieces, I am a big fan of a lot of her hoodies. They look great with a pair of skinny jeans, but are sporty enough to wear to the gym. I am seriously coveting the one to the right in all of it's asymmetrical, large buttoned, and colorfully hooded glory. You can find her on facebook here, on etsy here, and if you live near SLC she just opened a brick and mortar location, address here.
Check back in next week when we talk nutrition, and we might even throw in a completed DIY project for kicks. Until then I will leave you with a song from Imagine Dragons. We saw them live last year, their lead singer Dan Reynolds is the man for the job and overall they put off good vibes. Cause I'm on top of the world...
