One of my goals for this summer was to workout at least three times a week. To keep me motivated I thought I would write a fitness diary just to show the progress I have made from start to finish. Along the way I thought I would share with you guys what workouts I have been loving. I will be writing an entry into this post everyday after my workout then uploading at the end of the week to keep you all up to date. And please if you are looking to workout this summer and get in shape, please leave me a comment so we can get motivated and become the best version of us we can be together. As a little bit of a heads up I do most of my workouts at home seeing as I don't want to spend the money on a gym membership and don't tend to go on runs/hikes very often. Also as I decided wednesday night to write this series I don't have pictures for the first two days of my workouts.

Today was my first workout in over two months and it definitely showed me how out of shape I have become. I chose to do one of the NTC app workouts because they are so simple to use, they show you timers, have a guide leading you along the way telling you what to do, and let you adjust the workout to your exact specifications too. I actually didn't listen to any music because I just for got to put some on but it was actually nice being able to use the quiet to get into a zone where I could just push through the exercises and check in with my body.

For todays workout I chose a yoga routine that I found via FitSugar's YouTube account. I had never tried yoga before today and didn't honestly think it would be this hard, it was not overall very physically enduring whilst it was just challenging to keep my balance and to keep my breathing at the right tempo. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this workout and will absolutely becoming back to it again. I again didn't listen to music but this time it was to really take time to focus on my core and my zen level because isn't that what yoga is all about find your zen and spiritual balance.
I actually was so in love with yoga workout I did on wednesday. My biggest focus today was to just work on my breathing and technique. This is a must for getting through this routine and I found last time I was having a bit of trouble with that. I promise next week I will a different workout.
This is me looking sweaty and gross after todays workout!
XOXO,
Jackie
