How I Maintain a Workout Routine

Having a strict fitness routine has always been extremely important for me, so I am very consistent with it. It motivates me, distracts me from daily stuff, keeps me healthy, and fit. The first Zumba classes that I ever took were when I was 14 years old… and I have not stopped working out since then. I used to ask my parents to drive me to the local Athletic Club four times a week, Steps and Zumba were my favorite classes. A few years later I got into Bikram Yoga, and did that weekly for two years. Then I got hooked on Spinning classes, which I did for another 2-3 years. After we moved, I started high-impact classes at a different gym. And for the last few years I have been loving Boot-Camp classes.

My Favorite Way To Exercise: Workout Classes

For those of you with a similar fitness routine (or that would love to start one!), I recommend getting cute workout outfits to help get you motivated!! If you are not sure which classes to sign up for, I suggest to try them all once to see where you feel most comfortable at. Many gyms offer free classes or a trial period. There are tons of gyms, I chose whichever is located closest to my house (only a 5 – 10 minute drive). Make it easy on yourself – so that you can keep your fitness routine going. 😉

Another Healthy Way To Exercise: Walking Outside

If you do not have any gym nearby, and you have pets, walk them! This is truly a Win-Win situation, the pups get their exercise and so do you! I have two big pups (adopted / rescued), and because I want them to be healthy & happy, I walk them 2-3 miles each time, 3-4 times per week.

Living without a yard has been a fantastic excuse for me to spend more time outside enjoying and appreciating nature – thanks to my pups, of course. I also read recently that taking a walk with your dog outside 15-30 min daily is therapeutic. #adoptdontshop

Ah! I recommend the Citrus-Zinger Infuser Bottle that you see above. For the last months I had been searching for an infuser bottle made specifically for citrus fruits – to give the water a real fruit infused flavor. It’s very easy to use and wash, so I even take it to work. I purchased it at a local store, and I linked it right here for you guys! (Only 15.99!).
