Hi Everyone!
Today's post is all about my exercise routine!
I am both a cross country runner and swimmer, so I do get good workouts when I'm at those practices. However, sometimes I'll just be sitting at home and decide to workout! #AthleteProbz
Now, onto the post!
1. Be Prepared - Before I work out, I always make sure to eat a healthy snack about thirty minutes prior. I love eating all of these snacks before I work out because they are quick and easy to prepare, as well as sustainable and will not affect my performance while working out!

2. Enjoy It - Create a "Workout Playlist" which you can listen to while working out. I've done a post before {click here} featuring a couple of my favorite songs I like to jam to!
3. Plan It - Create a "schedule" to follow. You can find various ideas on Pinterest...
I also made an example of what I usually try to make my workouts look like. (Note: This example is just ONE week and it is a less strenuous workout because I also have swim practice.)
4. Use Apps - I'm not going to lie, it is hard figuring out a workout which fits what you need. I usually get my workouts from my coaches when we do CORE in practice, but I have also come across fabulous apps which come with various workouts you can do, that fit your needs. Here are my two favorites:

...I also like to run in the mornings (depends on how early/late I wake up, so they are not set on a specific day, however I try to do that one or two days a week, i.e. Tuesday and Thursday.)

Nike Training Club (NTC)
Additionally, various magazines (i.e. Seventeen) have a workout section where you can find recommended exercises from celebrity trainers!
5. Buddy Routine - Have a friend workout with you. You can: a) get exercise and b) spend some quality time with your friend(s)! #DoubleWhammy
I hope you all enjoyed this post and could maybe use some of my ideas!
What is your exercise routine?
XX,
