TIP OF THE DAY: Take your workouts outside of the gym! I recommend constant switch ups and usually speak of them in terms of workouts and meals, but this can certainly include your workout environment. I’m one of those people who just loves being in the gym, but I think it’s very healthy to get out of the gym once in awhile. A cardio and/or ab day is the perfect time to use your neighborhood for a workout, and a sunny day makes it even more perfect! Plus, just when you think you’re a good treadmill runner, running outdoors is always a good kick in the booty!

Daily Dose of Motivation: I love reminding you all that I am not invincible nor am I immune to set backs. My most recent struggle is one that I’m sure many of you can relate to as I often receive emails regarding this – “how come I eat healthy, workout, and am very lean, yet can’t see my abs?” Too few calories/food! My past few weeks have been filled with stress and a schedule that is out of my control, and I have not gotten in the number of meals I aim for each day. Food is an energy source for your body, especially the muscles. Too few calories may, at first, equate to some weight loss, but your body composition may suffer. Muscles, including your abs, appear full and visible when they are adequately fed. If you’re finding yourself in a similar situation to this, begin slowly upping your calories! Cheers to eating more to see more results!
Song of the Day: Our Song -Taylor Switft
“I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car. He’s got one hand feel on the steering wheel, the other on my heart.”
Morning runs are all about happy-go-lucky tunes & this just reminds me about how amazing summer love is – hope you all can enjoy that at some point in time 🙂
