This week I have come across some great blog posts, giveaways, new websites and more! Hope you enjoy. And do feel free to share in the comments any great links you came across this week as well.
Let’s start Friday off with this cool giveaway over at Jennifer’s Watch My Butt Shrink blog! She is giving away the Magic Bullet® Blender/Mixer which I love and use all the time. Lots of fun ways to enter! And she has a fan page on Facebook too which brings me to my news.
Happy Friday! Today’s tip(s) comes from Stacy, a personal trainer in New York City. Oh how I would love to visit and take her classes. Today she shares some great tips with us and the timing for me was perfect as I just restarted strength training.
As millions of Americans embark on New Year’s exercise regimens in hopes of meeting at least one resolution this year, many are getting in over their heads. According to Stacy Berman, a New York City certified personal trainer and founder of Stacy’s Boot Camp, “when a person decides to attempt weight lifting and exercise on their own, they are at great risk for injury, which can set them back even further than where they started.”
Today’s tip comes from my personal experience this past week. I learned how to get out of my comfort zone big time. For quite some time (OK 2 years ha ha), I really wanted to do video on my blog but I just couldn’t get past the fear. Just thinking about it made me sick, I was a mess! As many will tell you on my business trip this past week, it was a huge struggle and a big obstacle for me to overcome. BUT I did it! And here are some tips on how to get out of your comfort zone. Later I will point you in the direction to one (yep, I did more than 1 whoo hoo) of the videos I did over the weekend.
Today’s Tip: How to get out of your comfort zone
I’m traveling this week so I have an awesome guest post for you today from a sweet gal I just recently started following. Her blog is about running, healthy living, etc. She’s been an inspiration to me in this very short time so please be sure to welcome her as she shares some great tips with us.
Happy Friday! Today we are ending Healthy Weight Week on the blog (my special guest had a delay but will be here soon so be on the lookout)
Today’s Tip: Give yourself a pep talk
A little positive self talk goes a long way. There are times that I really have to give myself a pep talk to keep me going. Lately when I’m on the treadmill and even after a treadmill workout, I have to keep telling myself that adding this running challenge to my plate will not only help me prepare way in advance for the 1/2 marathon in Dec. BUT it is a new workout that will potentially kick my weight/inch loss into gear again after being stuck for quite some time.
Today’s Tip: Challenge yourself
There are quite a few bloggers with weight loss challenges and fitness challenges out there on the web that I wanted to share. I will be doing a rebounder/mini trampoline workout challenge sometime in Feb. so be on the lookout for that but in the meantime here are some of the great weight loss challenges and fitness challenges that I have come across.
