Pokémon Workout: Catch 'Em All And Then Squat Down Low

You have probably seen many of the "Pokémon Go" memes such as the one below, joking the new game will put you in great shape. All jokes aside, if you follow this customizable workout based on your collection of Pokémon, you really can get into great shape.

With your eggs in the incubators, hop on the treadmill or get outside for some interval runs to hatch those eggs.

Warm up with a jog for two minutes.

Sprint for 30 seconds to a minute.

Jog for a minute.

Sprint for 30 seconds to a minure.

Jog for a minute.

Keep repeating this cycle until you have hatched your egg(s).

Now organize your Pokémon by name so that you can see how many of each you have (I will base this off of mine) to create your circuit.

1. Using your largest amount of Pokémon (mine is 19 Eevees), you will do that many push-ups. So I would start my circuit with 19 push ups.

2. Your second largest amount will determine the number of burpees to complete. (For me, this is 15 Pidgeys). Perform one-legged burpees for an added challenge.

3. The third largest will determine your number of tricep dips. (For me this is 12 Paras).

4. The fourth largest will determine your number of squats. (For me this is 10 Weedles).

5. Finally your fifth largest will determine your number of crunches. (For me this is nine Rattatas).

This completes your circuit. You will work your way down from points one to five four times with a one minute break in between circuits. As you progress in the game and catch more Pokémon, this workout will get increasingly difficult, which is a great way to build your stamina.

If you are looking for an extra challenge, you can include your top seven or 10 largest Pokémon and do other exercises such as jumping jacks, lunges, other ab exercises or mountain climbers.

You can also add weights to your exercises or you can double the number of Pokémon to increase the intensity!

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.
