Choosing the Right Gym

Hey city peeps, happy Saturday! Hope everyone had an awesome week! The temperatures are climbing and it's starting to feel like spring! Let's all take advantage by getting outside and enjoying this gorgeous weather!

We had a question thrown at us this week that we wanted to share. It was from someone that signed up for a gym membership with her sister and wanted to know what kind of workout to do. She joined because her sister asked her to. Kudos to her for being a supportive sister! I think anyone that decides to get healthy and start an exercise regime is very brave. This made me realize that being a gym newbie is intimidating. Signing the contract is the easy part, it's actually going that's hard! I've taken my ease at the gym for granted, some might even consider me a bit of a gym rat, because I've been going for years.

Motivation Mondays: Resolution Check-In

Hi friends! Happy Motivation Monday! Let's start the week strong and inspired by reviewing our accomplishments thus far and goals for ourselves. It wasn't too long ago we all made New Years resolutions to cut sugar from our diets, eat more greens and exercise AT LEAST 4 times a week. How are your resolutions coming along? I know it's easy to fall off the wagon but let's not forget to get back on!

For those of you that have abandoned your resolutions and vow to do it right next year, you're not alone! According to a 3 year study conducted by Gold's Gym, February 7th has been dubbed as the 'fitness cliff' -  the day most resolutions are ditched and unhealthy habits are embraced with familiarity and comfort [source]. Most people give up on resolutions for one reason or another. Let's face it, change is hard! But with the right amount of work and effort success can be yours!

Got the Monday Blues? Kick 'em to the Curb!

Helloooo ladies (and gents), this is our first post on our blog (we haven't even written our bios yet!); but  we're just super pumped from our workout session this morning that we just had to share it with you.

Today happens to be Blue Monday. Yes just the sound of it is super depressing. For those of you who don't know, Blue Monday happens every 3rd Monday of January. It's scientifically proven that today is bluer than any other Monday of the year because: post-holiday syndrome is really kicking in, everyone's feeling the back-to-work blues, it's finally time to pay those credit card bills, we're still struggling to lose those extra pounds we gained, and on top of it all, it's COLD & gloomy (for those of you in Toronto, you know what I'm talking about re: EXTREME cold alert)...enough said.
