How I Workout
I am a firm believer in having your babies and getting back to how your husband met you. I can’t keep using this excuse that I “just had a baby” for much longer. Not when the kid is going on 16. (I kid, the youngest is 19 months but still) Part of the reason I hired a babysitter was for me to be able to workout and not have to worry about what was happening at home. I also can’t get back in shape if the hubs is not playing his part and helping out at home too. This ‘return back to my original shape’ campaign is not at all about him, it really is 100% about me. I want to be sexy again.
There is no reason why I need to look sloppy in the gym either. I don’t understand why women go to the gym looking a mess. I am all about wearing the part: if you look good, you will feel good. To date, I have been walking, spinning and doing yoga. Here are my essentials for working out.
A good bra: If you are busty and need THE BEST bra to support you while you workout, then visit enell.com to change how your breast function in the gym. Don’t laugh but before this bra, running was a challenge as I lacked support and as I jumped so did they.
This bra closes in the front and acts like a minimizer by spreading the breast out. You know in a regular bra, your breast sits in a cup-well with this it is almost like a spread of breast. LOL And then suction. It is the best! When I work out I almost forget I am a whopping D cup.
There is no theme here. I am just sharing the products I like that help me look like a stylish mom in the gym.
I love everything about gaiam.com. At times I have to talk myself off the site so that I don’t buy everything. My first purchase on the site was a gym bag.
I needed this because I am clumsy. When I am really feeling myself, I trip over my feet. So the ability to attach my yoga mat directly to the bag came in handy because it gave me one free hand to keep the pace. Everything Fits Gym Bag-$60
You may look at these and say “oh she is extra” but I promise you I’m not. You may have never been in a warrior pose and tried to get more stretch and slip away into a painful split-but I have. These yoga socks have been a pose saver. And I must admit, I do walk into the yoga studio with some, “my socks are the shit” steps. Come prepared or go home. Yoga Socks-$19.98
Lastly, if you are going to Spin, I recommend a padded biking short. You will not need this forever but it will help in your first few weeks as your derrière gets familiar with the hard ass seat. And it doesn’t matter how much junk you have in your trunk. It’s all up and in between that gets attacked by the seat. When I was an avid Spinner before, the padded short may have stopped after 7 classes. Get one, you’ll thank me for it.
Have you started working out? You know I have a date to lose this weight and I just found my treat to myself for when I hit goal. Goal is not really a number. Goal is an outfit; a look. I have a dress that I am using as a marker and as of right now, my leg can’t even fit in it. Stay focused with me. Keep your eye on the prize. #bebe
