My Workout Motivation/ Tips

Top(local boutique); pants(Lulu Lemon); Sports Bra (Nike)

I envy people that wake up in the morning and feel like working out. Spending my time in my bed cuddled up with a nice tea and a good book sounds like a lot more fun to me. 

The terrible thing about it is that I enjoy working out. I like doing workout while I am at it, I love running when I am out and about but I can't get myself to put on my workout clothes and actually go for a run or do some blogilates videos. Last week I was really bad with working out. I didn't do anything and that was because I wasn't home at all. Well barely. I had a lot to do but I am not here to find excuses for not working out. I am about to tell you what I do on a daily/weekly basis.

Monday:

Is kind of like a rest day for me. I have a long day and I could just start exercising at about half six and that's too late for my taste. 

Tuesday:

That's probably my most active day. I have PE in school and I go to school by bike so that's like a two hour workout together.
If I have the time I will go for a run in the afternoon. If not I like to do some workouts targeting a special region (butt mostly because I don't have one).

Wednesday:

School takes up most of my time on this day but I can sneak in a quick run between school and choir. I usually go for a run with my best friend, who lives next doors which is convenient. We go for about 8km (5 miles).

Thursday:

Another long school day and ballet practise afterwards. That's pretty much my day. I am not very good at ballet as I just started last year but it's a lot of fun and I enjoy it. I am not in it to become a professional dancer or do competitive things. Not at all. I am in for the fun.

Friday:

On Friday I play Tennis. I've been playing tennis for a bout 4-5 years (not quite sure).

Saturday:

I try to do another blogilates video on saturday but mostly I just can't find the time and I end up doing stuff with my friends. 

Sunday:

Going for a run on sundays is probably my favourite thing ever. The feeling you get after a run and a long shower and some pampering afterwards is just the best.

Tips:

1. Get a workout buddy. If my best friend wasn't running with me, I would not even get up to do it. She is my motivation to actually get up and go.

2. Drink lots and give yourself some rest. I had times where I thought working out every day would just make me tones and perfect and give me a great feeling. It didn't. I was constantly exhausted and tired and didn't enjoy my life very much. Now I have my 'break' days and I feel a lot better. 

3. Mind over matter. You can do it. You can push yourself. Do it and you will feel better. I promise.

What is your favourite way to exercise? Do you have any tips to overcome that lazyness? 

Have a great day. xx

And a little disclaimer in the end. I am in no way an expert. I am just sharing my thoughts and tips and it may not work for you but it did for me so I thougt it was a good idea to share that.

March Favourites (Music, Book, Movie)

Hello everyone.
I am sorry for not posting very consistantly over the last week.
 I do not have a lot of time with school and all my other activities. But here I am creating another blogpost for you.
I went shopping today and bought a lot of stuff. But mostly workout related. Is anyone interested in me creating a blogpost about that kind of stuff?
But now since march is over I thought I would post a march favourite kind of thing. But not product related because I didn't try anything new in march. Just my same old stuff.
My make-up routine doesn't change at all (but I am not using very much. so that may be the reason why).
So here we go with my favourite songs of march (Workout and just what I liked to listen to), my favourite book and movie.

Music:
I started to go running a lot more in march since the weather got a lot better and you could go outside without a fleece and still freezing. Most of the time I like to run without music because I like to listen to stuff that is happening around me. That's alot more relaxing. Espessially when you are running in fields or the forest, which is my usual route. But sometimes I need something to listen to to get more motivated.

Best day of  my life- American Authors

Safe and Sound- Capital Cities

Get Lucky- Daft Punk

On top of the world- Imagine Dragons

Burn- Ellie Goulding

Sail-  AWOLNATION

Pompeii- Bastille

Those are probably like my favourite songs right now to workout to. It's funny that my music taste is actually a lot different but I can't workout to song that don't have a good and strong beat. That just doesn't work out.
So here are my random music favourites of the month:

Walk- Foo fighters

 Midnight City- M83

 little talks- Of monsters and men

Treasure- Bruno Mars

The Cave- Mumford & Sons

Mountain Sound- Of monsters and men


School was really stressing me out in march so I needed a few good books to keep me distracted when I just couldn't take it anymore. I did not buy any new books in march but I re-read some old favourites. If you read any of them, please tell me what you thought!
And also tell me if you want a review on any of them.

 Paper Towns- John Green ( I like this book a lot. It is my favourite from John Green)

The Fault in our Stars- John Green

The Bone Season- Samantha Shannon

Harry Potter and Divergent and the Hunger Games were also on my list. But I don't count them because I read them all the time.


 My favourite movie of the month is an old classic. Maybe some of you have watched it. If you haven't yet, do it! I love it!

Star Wars IV

It's great and old-school. If you like Science-fiction and stuff like that you will love that movie!

Well that's everything! let me know if you have any requests for me to do anything I would love to fullfill your requests.

Have a great weekend. xxx
