Im going to share a few short and easy home workouts to occupy your time during this quarantine! Home workouts need to be an exercise that can be done easily without weight and that do not require a lot of moving room. These can be used for abs, arms and your booty!

Ab Workouts!

This cycle of ab workouts are what I do every single time I’m in the gym. Every. Single. Time. They are simple, yet effective!

•Crunches

•Bicycle Kicks

•Small Butterfly Kicks

•Wide Butterfly Kicks

•Russian Twists

•Mountain Climbers

•V-Ups

Arm Workouts!

Arm workouts can easily be made, any body weight movements are good for toning up! Even if you don’t have any fancy movements to do, all you half to do to feel it in your arms... hold a plank. Then move the plank to push up position (no pushups, or pushups your preference) and then back down to plank. Do that for 45 seconds and tell me you don’t feel a slight ache from round one.

•Push ups

•Regular Planks

•Push Up Planks

•Mountain Climbers

•Burpees

Booty Moves!

What better pass time when stuck inside then improving and making booty gains! These can be the most motivating, for me, coming in close with abs! Leg and butt workouts can easily be done with body weight movements, just like arms. But, if you want to challenge yourself you can always add weight. It doesn’t have to be from a dumbbell. Pick up a stack of books or magazines, water packages, dog food bag, anything you can find that will challenge you a bit! Here a few of my favorite!

•Dumbbell Squats (Item Squats)

•Regular Body Weight Squats

•Bridges (Lay on your back , bend your knees and lift your butt into the air, touch the ground them back up.)

•Lay on your side and lift your top leg into the air, making a sideways V. Lift and slowly bring down then lift again, multiple times.

These are just a few at home movements to keep your body moving and healthy during this time. Any of these can be altered, a few of them even work two target areas at once!

Don’t think that just because you can’t access a gym, you can’t keep moving and pushing towards your goals.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
