And since it is Friday I thought it would be the perfect time to post my first somewhat "real" post, not just a welcome post. I was thinking after I posted the welcome post that I wanted to do something on Friday because I knew I would be able to get it up. First I thought why not do fitness Friday but then I thought This is not a fitness blog but it is a healthy food blog. So I have come up with Fun Friday where (hopefully) every Friday I will blog about something that I love and it may not be food related at all. Just something that is different and breaks up all the soon to be recipes (don't worry they are coming soon I promise).
Before I get into the first Fun Friday post I want to let you know when you can expect posts on here. I hope to post a recipe hopefully each week which when I think about should be able to happen but we all know life gets in the way of everything sometimes. You also can expect a post every Friday like I said, and who knows I may have more than two posts a week.
Okay so lets get into the first Fun Friday post; my current favorite online workouts.
We all know that one of the parts in being healthy eventually means we will have to workout, and if you are anything like me you have come up with a million reasons why you cannot workout. For me the big thing was I don't want to do a 30 minute workout every day or I did not want spend the money on gym membership when I go to the gym and it just doesn't feel right. In the past I did do the whole gym membership and it helped for about a month but then I started saying oh I will go tomorrow or I don't feel like driving to the other end of town. So when I started this whole healthy journey and when I felt like I had the whole healthy food thing under some control I decided to add in working out and let me tell you I am loving it so far.
When I started looking for workout things I decided I was going to do workouts that I could find on YouTube because sometimes if just feels more comfortable to workout at home alone than in a gym full of people. When I started looking I found the big YouTube people (Tone It Up was the main one) but when I went a little deeper I found some that I liked and I will post the links a tad later.
But it was not until I was out to dinner with my family when my aunt told me about Jessica Smith and her workouts. Now I have only done about six of her workouts, now I know if I started working out in the middle of January wouldn't you do more than six but if I like a workout I tend to stick with it for a while. So really I have really done about three of her workouts.
Why I like her workouts the most:
I like her workouts because they are workouts you can do at home and usually all you need is yourself. They usually don't take a lot of space and don't use equipment that you don't already have. I also love them because if she does a workout with equipment she also shows you a way to do the same move without equipment. Also she personally comes off as a fun person in her videos and that to me makes working out better is when the trainer is having fun and is motivating through the whole workout. I also love them because she has many different kinds from 10 minute quick workouts to hour long dance workouts. Now I have only done the 10 ab workout, 12 minute power walk, and the first to of her Fit in 15 workouts which are 15 minute workouts, and I loved them. To me if you can workout for at least 15 minutes a day its better than nothing. And her puppy playing in the background just makes it that much more fun.
Link her to website: http://www.jessicasmithtv.com/
Link to her YouTube channel is below.
*disclaimer I am not a fitness expert working out 15 minutes a day is just my opinion.
Her workouts make me want to get up off the couch and workout because they are not hard to do and at the end you don't feel like you just ran a marathon.
Now I have found a few other workouts online that I liked doing and will put their links below:
Chris Powell Level 1 workout (15 minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hV_4qKFV6E
Jessica Smith workouts (range in time): https://www.youtube.com/user/jessicasmithtv
Tone it up Love your arms workout (10 minutes per set): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfdCNGLDikM
So to sum all this up and stop this post before it gets way to long, I want to say I love Jessica Smith TV workouts for at home and in general prefer to workout at home than at a gym because it is more comfortable and that is a big deal because if you are not comfortable with where you are working out then you will not want to do it.
Have a amazing weekend!
