I am so excited to announce the launch of my new website R U Fabulously Fit? I have spent the last 10 years of my life building up my brand, focusing on bettering myself as well as others. The site is not only to detail the different fitness options I offer, but to continuously educate you on nutrition, fitness and self well-being tips I’ve learned along the way.
There are so many different “diets” and fitness
programs today, which ones work? Which ones are healthier than others? Everything on this blog is based on my own opinion with never an attempt to create negative vibes but sometimes the truth hurts. I am so excited to have the chance to help change as many lives as I can, even if it’s just in a small way.
After spending 13 of my life stuck in an office job where I knew I was too talented and driven to be, I have finally made my dream a reality. Fitness has changed my body as well as my mental well-being. I was once where you might be right now. The hardest part about working out and eating healthier in STARTING. Walking into a new gym might be intimidating but I promise, you can do it and you will be glad you made the choice to try.
No matter what type of gym it is, there are usually personal trainers or employees who will show you around the facility and help make you feel comfortable. Machines can be deceiving, always ask for assistance if you are unaware how to use them. Instructions on the machine are usually posted as well. My favorite tip is to sign into wifi and use You Tube as a guide. There are millions of instructional videos that will show you the correct way of using the machines and most importantly with correct form. If that’s too time consuming, always ask for assistance or contact me and I would be glad to help 🙂
Remember these five tips before and during your new healthy regimen:
~Everyone starts somewhere. You don’t have to workout like you are auditioning for American Ninja. Start slow and work your way up. 10 minutes will soon become 20 minutes etc. A small step takes you a long way!
~Hydrate all day long. No matter what kind of exercise, water is an essential key. There are so many health benefits to staying hydrated, most importantly keeping all of the organs in your body fully functional. Tired of the same blah taste of water, a water bottle with an infuser is the next best thing! You can load up with all your favorite fruits and vegetables (my fav being cucumbers, lemon and mint)
~Try out different fitness classes. So many people get hooked on one type of workout, their body gets used to it and you soon find yourself at a plateau. Don’t be afraid to mix it up, it will keep you coming back for more because you will never get bored.
~Stay moving! I know when I was working in an office environment, I made it a priority to get up from my desk as much as I could. I signed up for a gym connected to my building and made it a part of my day (whether before work or during my hour lunch break) to get there and get my workout in. Some aren’t so fortunate to have a facility so close, but get up every 15 minutes or so, take a quick walk, get some fresh air… I promise it will help you mentally and physically.
~Plan!!!! If you have a plan, it will become
less of a chore and more of a lifestyle. Use the calendar on your phone, schedule your workouts and enter them in. You will feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of the week when you look back and see you were successful.
This is a way of life. You have to be fully dedicated to bettering yourself. We all live busy lives with work and family, but taking care of yourself is most important. Don’t be afraid to start, you will wish you had started sooner. Good luck and have fun! I’m always here to help.
