Sweating for the Wedding

I love marifitness! She's super inspirational and beautiful. I bought her home workout guides and I'm eager to start them!

I bought a fixed gear (spin) bike from Amazon (Anchor), it was under $300 and I honestly use it every day - sometimes 2x a day. It was less than 3x months of group classes. I've been using it since April and was down 24 lbs (we will see what this week brings, as my director is leaving & there has been a LOT of food of my job lately).

I go to the gym 4x per week and use the elliptical while watching reality tv. I also try to walk 3-4 miles per day on top of it. I've been maintaining this exercise for two years and really think whatever routine you can maintain is the routine for you!!

I love going to the gym! But on days I can't, I'll stretch, run in place, and hula hoop!

The Tone It Up app, perfect for at home!

Couldn't agree more with Melle! Barre is my favorite thing to do because I get a great workout and have fun doing it. I've never enjoyed working out my entire life, but I actually anticipate going to my barre class. Barre is a mixture of ballet, pilates, cardio, and is the only workout that combines grace and athleticism. There are a ton of great benefits of Barre, especially if you're looking for mental relief: https://www.openfit.com/benefits-of-barre-workouts

You want to lose weight or be curvy?

I would say biking. Biking works a lot of the body and it's such a care-free, FREE exercise to partake in! I love riding bikes, but I myself need a new one.

Honestly, nothing is more convenient, cheap, and effective than just plain running. You can do it anywhere, it costs no money, and is one of the most proven weight loss methods ever. Most of your weight loss is going to come from your diet, but running consistently can help you stay on track with healthy eating. You should implement a mixture of high intensity and low intensity running, which not only keeps it interesting but is the best way to lose weight: https://www.openfit.com/running-for-weight-loss-guide
