Back to School Fitness Hacks

I can’t believe that fall is right around the corner. To me, fall symbolizes the start of something new. I always get motivated to get organized, get back to the gym, and just take control of everything again as the summer fades away. It’s also my last semester of grad school so I am embracing that and preparing myself to finish my capstone class with a bang.

Back to School Fitness Hacks:

Get on a schedule // When you’re busy with school, work, or other activities – prioritizing your health isn’t usually top of mind. I so believe in the power of getting in a routine. On Sundays, I like to prepare for the week by tidying up the house, grocery shopping for the week, and getting my schedule in line. It sets the tone for the week so that I am able to prioritize my health and know when I will be able to hit the gym that week.

Make time for exercise // With back to school season being go, go, go – it can be tough to take time for yourself to head to the gym and get a workout in.

Whether your favorite exercise is going to cycle class or heading to a hip hop class like me, it’s important to prioritize your health. If you don’t have time to head to the gym each day, go for a walk with your pup and get some fresh air. Your body and mind will thank you.

I have found that finding a workout that motivates me is what gets me to the gym each week. Also cute gym clothes don’t hurt either. This trefoil tee and these cute sneakers makes going to gym or taking the pup for a walk much more enjoyable.

Try to choose the healthier option // When we’re busy and stressed from a long day of class or work, choosing the salad over the burger and fries from your favorite fast food joint isn’t always the most enticing option but sometimes, we’ve gotta choose the healthier option.

I always try to keep healthy options on hand so I don’t head to the nearest Chick-Fil-A and binge on some nuggets.
