What Do You Do For Exercise?

What Do You Do For Exercise?
I have never been athletic (and never will be) and I am honestly not a fan of working out. Any form of exercise has been very sporadic for me lately. While far from the most aggressive workout before we all started our current jobs me and my two sisters walked 4 miles a day almost everyday with each other. It was a nice way to be active while spending time with my sisters. Plus, having the two of them to talk to made the time spent walking pass quickly. With all of the health benefits that accompany working out I need to start incorporating some activity in my life on a regular basis. I need to find something fun and something that wouldn't be too intense for me. Jackie does ballet on a regular basis and I find seriously impressive but it is something way beyond my skill level. What do you do for exercise? I would also love to know how you fit it into your schedule.

A Good Sport

There is no reason not to look great when you are working out. There is a lot of cute options for workout clothes. Plus if you are like me working out is definitely not one of your favorite things to do, so looking good helps motivate you. Also, unless you workout in your home you never know who you will run into. And if there is a chance you are going to run into that cute guy in your History class or your boss at work at the gym don't you want to look your best? When you are working out a good sportsbra is a must. Sportsbras are essential for keeping your comfortable and providing support. I love the cute Puma bag with this look. Also, remember that it is important to keep hydrated when working out so be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workout.

The tanktop and shorts with this look are sure to help keep you cool while you are working out. For some workouts such as running a watch is a must. I suggest owning an exercise ball to sit on while watching tv. It will help tone you up.

I love the color combination of teal and yellow. It is so bright and cheerful. All over body deodorant is must for your gym bag. I like the body sprays from Victorias Secret.

While shorts are great, pants are an essential part of a gym wardrobe. They can be useful in the winter when you need to be a little more covered up. Whether you goal is to either stay healthy or to get healthy you also need to practice a well balanced diet. That's why I've included a healthy snack with each of the looks in this post.
