A Dolla Make you Holla - Workouts from home!

Hello Fabulous People!

I would first of all like to thank everyone who has liked and followed my Facebook and Twitter Pages. You are all remarkable humans. Please continue to share and comment! I’d love to hear what you think.

Now let’s get saving some money!

I have heard and made many excuses as to why working out is not possible. “I’m too tired”, “I have no time”, “I feel intimidated at the gym”, “my dog ate my running shoes”. One that I hear quite a bit is that gym memberships are fairly pricy. All of these excuses may be true from time to time. However, if you have an excuse as to why you can’t work out every single day, you are doing nothing but harming yourself and your precious gift, your body!
Instead of using those excuses as to why you cannot work out, try to switch them around to reasons why you can and should work out! For example, if you are not a morning person and working out before you start your day is simply not even an option, workout right after work or school. Don’t even go home to change. Bring your workout attire with you and don’t let yourself think that the day is over until your workout is complete. Change your mind frame.
If you feel like you have no time, make time! It is a proven fact that working out can reduce stress. While at work or doing school work, take breaks to get up and walk around. Before you go to bed at night do some yoga. This will give you a bit of a workout and it will relax and relieve the stresses of the day.
Many people think that while at the gym, others will judge them for techniques and abilities. I do not have any statistics on this, but while talking to some of my gym-rat friends, I have come to a general census that they are at the gym for themselves. Most people do not care about others at the gym, and rightfully so! The gym is a time for you to focus on your goals, your strengths and your weaknesses that you want to turn into strengths. Don’t worry about anyone but you. Get your IPod, MP3, or your favourite book or magazine and disconnect from the world for a while and remember that confidence is beautiful and so are you!
If your dog ate your running shoes maybe it’s time for some behavioral classes for your furry little friend. You can, however, do workouts that do not require shoes – yoga, dance, stretches. Therefore, your dog eating your running shoes is not a valid excuse.. Sorry sweet child.

Lastly, the money issue. This tends to be a very common excuse as to why people are not working out as much as they should be or would like to be. I’m going to show you some of my favourite and cost effective workouts that you can do right in your living room.  

1. Sexy Legs: 5 Minute Workout

2. Boot Camp Cardio & Strength Workout with Denise Austin

3. Pilates for Abs and Wasteline

Tony Horton's 10 Minute Trainer, P90x, and TurboFire are all workouts that you can do at home if you are willing and able to spend a few dolla's. Another idea is for you to get to your closest Wal-Mart and take a look in the $5 movie bin. I can usually find at least one or two good workout videos in there! How about outside? Take a walk, a run, a bake ride. You can enjoy the beautiful outdoors and get your body into shape. These are all forms of working out that you spend little to no money on.

There are plenty of alternatives to get your booty in gear. So, next time you catch yourself making excuses for not being able to workout, think again foxy honey and remeber these routines and tips to get you moving!

From one fab fox to another,
Stay fit, stay physical, and stay foxy!
