A Look At My Fitness Routine

As you might know I’m all about health and fitness! I go to the gym almost every day and I also exercise at home or on the go. My usual day looks something like this: wake up at 6 AM and have cayenne and lemon water and a small snack like a banana or an apple, go to the gym for 6:30 AM spin class, go home to shower and get ready for work, go to work, go for a 30 minute power walk on my lunch break, get home to make dinner, and then go for a bike ride in the evening with my boyfriend before bed. As you can see I exercise a lot in a day! I believe in breaking a sweat daily and I try to incorporate exercise whenever I can. I do take rest days however; sometimes I don’t go to the gym in the morning or I don’t go for my walk at lunchtime. But I always make sure to do one of my three favorite tasks a day: fitness class, walk or leisurely bike ride. I also make sure to eat healthy food and a lot of it throughout the day to keep my body nourished and full. When you exercise as much as I do it’s important to eat enough to make back all of the calories burned. Some fitness trainers like to restrict the calories they eat in a day while is I let myself eat as much healthy food like vegetables and lean protein as my body craves.

I also find that for the early mornings fitness classes work best for me. I have a hard time motivating myself to go to the gym if I’m just going to going to lift weights or run on the treadmill. But if I have a class with an instructor to look forward to I can’t wait to get to the gym in the morning! As I mentioned I often do spin class at 6:30 AM but my gym also offers other classes such as HITT and yoga. For those days that I’m feeling more tired and need some stretching yoga is a great alternative. I also do a lot of stretching on my own after working out beyond what the instructor has us do for about 10 minutes after they work us. I like to stretch and foam roll for about 30 minutes every day given the amount of exercise I do and how sore my muscles become.
