Here's a few tips to jump start your new year to a healthy lifestyle ( and SWEATING for the wedding). Remember:  Always consult with your physician before beginning any workout program.




Eat Healthy & Hydrate - eat healthy, add alot of fresh vegetables and fruits! Try out a Green Smoothie. Take a daily vitamin (You will feel better), and cut your portion sizes down. Stay away from high fat, high sugar, processed foods! Drink plenty of  (8 glasses a day) water; try alkaline water).  Click here to watch a video on making alkaline water!

Get Moving you may be ready to start exercising. However, you cannot figure out what exactly you want to do? Try out Zumba, pole dancing, chick boxing, or maybe a hot yoga class. Perhaps, you may want to try out rock climbing (indoor), go skating, or jump rope! Lastly, you might want to try out a Salsa, or a Hip Hop dance class.

Purchase great workout gear - go to a running store that can match you with the perfect shoe.  I like to find chic and comfortable workout shoes, and a cute bag ( Makes working out fun)! Check out my favorite consultant, Naomi Irion she has the perfect bag for your exercise gear Click Here. My favorite place to find exercise clothes is TJMAXX. 

Stretch - stretch your muscles BEFORE and AFTER working out. Warming your muscles are very important, and cooling down as well with a nice stretch. Make sure while you are stretching take deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling. Relax your entire body; focus on each muscle group during your stretch.


Set Goals - before you start your exercise program always set a goal. Think about what your short term and long term goals are. What's your target BMI? What's your target weight? Where do you want to be in your fitness journey this time 6 months from now,a year from now?

Have a Sweet Day

  2. Great tips that should light a fire under me, lol. I do love the green smoothies though. Even if a couple doesn't follow this regimen to get in shape, planning a wedding is stressful and following just a few of these suggestions will help to relieve some of that unhealthy stress.
