Do you feel like there’s never any time to exercise? Or at least exercise on a regular basis? I’ve been struggling since 2013 to keep fitness an integral part of my daily routine. The early morning work hours, the family commitments, my terrible allergies…all fighting against me having the energy and time to devote to physical activity. I knew something had to change this year, because my clothes weren’t fitting right, I ate horribly several days a week, and I just felt exhausted. I knew it was time to make lifestyle changes.
After hearing from numerous people that it worked for them, I decided to join #KaylasArmy and try Kayla Itsine’s workout plan. So far, it’s been great! I’m on Week 3, and though I don’t weigh myself and can’t tell if it’s helping shed any extra pounds, it’s certainly made me feel stronger…which is my ultimate goal. (I haven’t been as diligent with the food plan, but I have made smoothies twice in one week. Baby steps!)
Do you feel more motivated to workout when you have the right gear? I like investing in good workout pieces so I feel more motivated to get my sweat on. Speaking of sweat, I hate that super sticky feeling you get when you’ve workout out pretty hard and all the sweat pools in your sportsbra. (Not a good look, or a good feeling.) Under Armour created a new Breathe Sportsbra that has mesh panels for amazing breathability that wicks sweat to keep you dry. It fits very snugly, so it’s really best for A to C cups. I definitely noticed a difference in how dry I felt after my workout. Bonus: when you order one from the UA website, you can get a sample of Philosophy’s Take a Deep Breath gel cream. This cream is pretty cool because it acts as a “detox” for dull, unbalanced skin. It helps your skin feel smoother, which in turn makes your makeup look better each time you put it on! You can order your Breathe bra here and take home the free sample.
(Side note: if any of you are in Kayla’s Army, I’d love to hear from you! What are your tips for sticking to your regime?)
