Need some workout motivation?

Face it, we've all had that moment of panic when walking into the gym. You know the moment when you have no idea what you're going to do while you're there. The one where you awkwardly walk towards a machine and think "I have no idea how to use that, but it looks simple, so I better use it before people stare at me."

This happens to the best of us "workout-aholics" not knowing what to do at the gym. The most challenging thing is when you're switching between different days of working out (legs, arms, chest) and you're just not feeling the soreness anymore. Once you stop feeling sore, it means your body has become used to the workout and if you want results, changing it up is the best option.

Trying new things is what makes you confident in having a wide range of workout abilities. Knowing all different workouts to help for however you're feeling is great for when you just aren't feeling the normal routine. Going with someone can help add some spice to your workout by doing some partner abs, lifting or going to a class you've never been to before. New equipment is always the scariest, but most exciting part of a workout. I've been using the Bosu ball at the gym lately and it has changed my workouts. It gives that extra push your body needs to enhance simpler workouts.


1. Burpees with a twist

This twist of adding the Busa ball gets the arms working and makes for a full body engagement in the exercise. Regular burpees are sometimes really hard on my hands and adding this element really helps to get the full workout.


2. Balance with a little help

Having this helpful balance tool for a stronger workout makes it that much better. It helps push you to your limits while helping you build yourself.

3. Feel like a Ninja

This workout helps with pushing your balance ability to the next level. It creates levels to your workout and adds a different view of the normal side shuffle workout.

Workouts have never looked more fun. When you have new and exciting ways to reach your goals, why not push yourself?

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.
