Fitness lifestyle

Hello, Lets talk about some of my favorite fitness influencers that I follow on Instagram. I want to talk about this because often times I find myself looking at their Instagrams searching for a new workout. Katy Hearn is my all time favorite fitness influencer, though she recently had a baby she does not post workout related stuff anymore but her and her husband have an app you can download. Within this app is so many different plans you can purchase to help you workout either in the gym or at home. If you are wanting to purchase a workout guide I strongly encourage you to take a look at her guides, they are pretty affordable as well! They also have their own supplement line! I love their BCAAS and their pancake protein! I started following Katy Hearn as soon as began working out which was over 3 years ago and have always looked up to her! I love her body and even her life (scary I know)! She owns her own gym and is killing the shoulder gains! Prior to having baby Axel her ...

I struggle daily with having a good diet while going to school and working full time. Its hard to find the time to even eat most days! I often get so caught up with what I am doing that I forget how important food is to fuel my body. Somedays I have zero appetite because of stress and have to force myself to eat. Food is so important and we should try to get as much of it in as possible, healthy food that is. My biggest problem is the I hate hate hate chicken... well fried chicken I can eat any day... but baked chicken! GROSS!! Sometimes we just have to suck it up and get the food in!! Below is a diet I try to follow, its easy and it works!! Its not strict and the food is easy to make. Meal 1: 5 oz egg whites 1 whole egg 40 grams oats, 25 grams of blueberries in the oats Meal 2: 1 scoop protein, 1/4 cup almonds Meal 3: 5 oz any lean protein adn 1/2 cup brown rice Meal 4: 5 oz fatty protein and as much veggies as you want

The booty.... might be the number 1 thing girls want to target. Hey, I get it. I have been there. But you don't just want to focus on this otherwise you will no be proportional. Whenever I hit glutes I go hard! I get so motived to make them grow that I put more effort into hitting them than anything else! I usually try to incorporate glute workouts in my leg days but also add a separate day to really make sure I am targeting them completely! Here is a little glute workout that goes a long way! 4x15 Single leg deadlifts 4x10 hip thrusts 4x15 bent over kickbacks Throughout each workout really focus on the muscle!

Lets talk about supplements. I try to stay away from them as much as possible but there definitely is some that it take because they are important and easy. lets start with protein powder!! You can use protein powder as a meal replacement, which is what I do. I usually workout at night so by the time I get home its way too late for me to cook dinner, so I drink a shake to get my protein in! You can pretty much find any flavor of protein out there! Right now I am loving the cinnamon flavor because it reminds me of cold weather! I also drink fruits and greens every morning. I am horrible at getting my fruits and veggies in throughout the day so this is a perfect and easy way to get them in! Every time I drink them I have a better day, I feel gut healthy, and get a natural burst of energy! Another good supplement that I take every so often is branch chain amino acids. They allow you to recover better and have longer lasting workouts. I am pretty bad about drinking things whenever I ...

Hitting arms is the worst!! I HATE it!! I would so much rather do a leg workout than do a bicep and tricep workout. My boyfriend is the complete opposite, he would prefer to do an arm workout than anything else. If I do hit arms the workout below is what I do, I literally have to force myself to get to the gym on arm days. I have also included some details on how to complete each exercise. I have always struggled with form on arm days so I hope this helps you. Rope Pushdown superset with Rope Cable Curls - 3-4 sets 10-15 reps –  I like to start on this to warm up your joints and get some blood in your Triceps/Biceps. For the form on this I want you to pause for a second in the stretch position of both exercises and then really focus on flexing your Triceps/Biceps in the contraction before controlling the weight back up/down. Incline Skull Crushers – 3 sets of 8-12 reps –  I like to use the curl bar and bring it down to my nose then press the weight straight up squee...

This day is brutal, you will be sore!! I have a love/hate relationship with chest and shoulders. Its highly effective and highly painful.. but in a good way. You will leave the gym feeling like jello. Whenever I try to push the door open to leave the gym I feel weak! For such a long time I neglected hitting chest because I felt insecure and didn't know how to do it correctly or find workouts that worked for me. Now that I have learned what my body likes and correct form I am starting to love it!! Try this workout and you'll know what I am talking about: 4x8 chest dips 4x10 chest press 4x10 incline press 4x10 shoulder press 4x12 seated dumbbell press superset 4x10 front raises 4x10 side raises Burnout: 3 sets of 30 sec rest between each set dumbbell upright row alternating dumbbell Arnold press dumbbell lateral raises
