Abs and Arms!

We filmed this Monday with Matt and I wasn't feeling well at all. I either ate something bad or came down with a little cold. But instead of laying in bed and feeling sick, I got up, got dressed and went to the gym. I did my regular workout and then Matt and I filmed this video. All the laughing and the exercise made me forget that my stomach was upset and that my sinuses were stuffy!

I'm not advocating going to the gym when you're running a fever or really ill, but sometimes you just need that motivation to get up and go. Whether you're tired and want to sit on the couch watching a movie or if you had a bad day and would rather eat a tub a cookie dough (we've all been there), you have to find that little bit of motivation to lace up your shoes and hit the gym!

I love doing ab workouts when I'm not feeling well. You still feel the burn and you know you're exercising, but you aren't bouncing around and making anything feel worse. The same goes for upper body workouts! Matt is a huge believer that everyone needs a little tricep attention! 

Make sure you stay hydrated and don't lose your motivation! Being healthy and fit is a long-term happiness, sitting on the couch and eating that cookie dough will only make you feel better for an hour or so. Plus, half way through your workout you might forget all your problems anyway! 

Love you lots,
