RUN BABY RUN!

My stylish guide to keep fit and health through out the colder months of the year. Even though the weather is wet, cold and muddy. That isn't a reason why you should stop working out. To get your heart pumping, body sweating and the heat is great for the body. Don't let winter get the best of you. It takes a quick and easy 5 minutes to do a simple work out from your busy 24 hour day. You need that extra push. I work in retail and im always on my feet, lifting boxes, cleaning fixtures, folding clothes, walking up and down the floor. It's never ending, although I do get a work out from just doing that but that doesn't end my daily work out, when I get home a do a 30 minute routine of push ups, sit up and squats. It's so simple and easy. If you're one of those people who can't keep track of their work outs, download an app on your phone that can do all the work for you, even get those workout apps that can guide you to a clean, easy and better lifestyle. I've even added a quick 5 minute routine to help kick start your day!
