My Supplements

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 am working out because it upsets my stomach so thats why I try to stay away from them. I would highly recommend them, especially if your workout exceeds 45 min.


I try to stay away from pre workout. I don't want to ever be dependent on pre workout in order to have a good workout or energy. Do not get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with taking it and I am sure one day I will start but right now I workout just fine without it.

How to Overcome Anxiety of Going to The Gym

Overcoming anxiety in the gym is hard! Trust me, whenever I first started working out I NEVER went alone. It probably took me about a month to feel comfortable going by myself. I felt like people would judge my form or me constantly looking at my phone to figure out how to do a workout. I was so shy and felt like I just wanted to leave and hide. But trust me!! IT GETS EASIER. Now, I can go to the gym and not have an ounce of anxiety. I have worked hard to get my form right but still struggle with new workouts. It takes time. Over time you will figure out how to come up with your own workout and what workouts target what muscle group. Trust the process, know that you wont see results right away but with time you will.

Fitness Influencers that I look up to

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 ...
