Working out is a labor of love for me – labor is hard but I love the results!

It is so important to work, stretch, and push your body at least three times a week. It’s not only to keep you in shape, but it’s just good for your overall health. Here are some of the reasons you should get your body moving:

• More energy throughout your day (really? YES!)
• Can prevent diseases
• Helps you catch more zzz’s
• Makes your mood improve
• Increases brain function

It also is a great way to destress. There is no greater feeling to me then finishing a hard work out and knowing that I pushed myself to my max! Growing up I mostly did ballet and jazz, but when I went off to college I had to find a new way to work out.

My school has great classes and I love trying them out with my friends. Body Pump is a class that combines weights with cardio – aka not walking for three days. I also love going for runs around campus and doing yoga daily. I like to switch it up a couple times a week, that way I don’t get bored of my workout.
