Staying Motivated to be Bikini-Ready

I woke up bright and early this morning and felt super motivated to work out. I spent 30 minutes in a Zumba class that had a teacher I’ve never taken a class from before and the class was too easy so I left and did cardio for 45 more minutes on the machines. After that I did an hour of weight training. It has been a while since I’ve done weight training so I did an all-over workout with lower body, arms and shoulders as well as abs. I do abs every single day even if I don’t go to the gym. It’s been a long week of hiking, color runs, moving my furniture to my new place, and lots of Zumba classes this week. I can definitely see the difference within the week. I’ve been trying to eat better also but that has been a challenge because I practically am living out of my car for how busy I have been. I had lunch with one of my best friends today and got a salad with grilled chicken and no dressing. This is unlike myself, I love burgers and the place we went to has amazing burgers. But I need to stay motivated.

I need to start doing weights more often because I see faster results and I tighten up fast compared to just cardio. I love Zumba though and I will still do it because it makes me happy and sweat like crazy.

The Rest of My Week:

  • Thursday: Pilates@11:00am then Zumba@12:00pm
  • Friday: Lower Body Weights and Zumba@5:45pm
  • Saturday: Upper Body Weights and 5 mile run
  • Sunday: Rest
  • Monday: Zumba@5:45pm then Lower Body Weights

EVERYDAY I WILL DO ABS. EVERYDAY I WILL TRY HARDER THAN THE DAY BEFORE. It’s easy to give up but its much more rewarding to keep active and keep a routine. I have Survivor MudRun and Warrior Dash coming up as well as lots of boats and being in a bikini so I need to stay active!
