Fitness Challenges & Workout Videos


So, over the last two years I would say I have been in and out of the whole 'get fit' thing. With the best intentions, I have such an idea of what getting fit and healthy is all about and even like the way it sounds. But, truth be told, I am incredibly lazy. For years I have wanted to be one of those fitness junkies who can eat healthy without even trying and can finish a five mile job without breaking a sweat.
Unfortunately, I happen to be nothing like this. I enjoy my food to an unhealthy level and would much rather sit firmly on my backside watching one of the Twilight movies with Ben & Jerry's in hand.
I am extremely pleased that I can introduce the world of YouTube fitness videos. Nothing pleases me as much as this. The ability to exercise in the privacy of your own home so you can be free to fling the flab and swing the limbs without fear of injuring anyone else or embarrassing yourself.
As I am already an avid YouTube fan and currently watch a mixture of beauty/fashion/fitness videos, I have my favourites. 
A youtuber I have been watching is Carly Rowena. Her channel mainly focuses on fitness but also has hints of fashion, beauty and lifestyle. What I have found particularly motivating is her 30 day challenges, which include abs, legs, bums and arms. Not only is her positive, friendly and relaxed attitude make for easy watching but the challenges are simple and effective. 
Where most challenges or fitness videos claim to be fast and effective, they rarely point out that  combining a health diet with these exercises are going to show results far quicker. This is something Carly definitely highlights.
I am officially starting the ab challenge as of today so I really look forward to seeing the results, I have taken a before picture which I am not quite ready to show yet until I have an accompanying after picture to make myself feel better!

Below I have inserted the link to Carly's most recent 30 day challenge to rid you of the dreaded muffin top! Check her out! 


Peace out!
