I have tried many things to stay fit over the course of my wellness journey. My journey began with extra college credits in strength training and a step aerobics class. I moved home and didn't want to lose my progress, so I joined a gym. I went off and on for a while. Then I decided to invest in a personal trainer for as long as I could afford it. I learned a lot, but I wasn't ever consistent.
What I loved when I was first introduced to Herbalife was the Fit Camps. It was free exercise. I needed free because I was recently unemployed and couldn't afford a gym. I participated in several Herbalife Fit Challenges and weight loss challenges. I am always up for a bit of competition.
I currently enjoy online workout videos. I also love to race in 5ks, but don't like to run. Again, competition and comradery with others pursuing the same goal. I am attempting to jog/run in the mornings before it gets too cold. I also am looking for my next 5k.
I have checked out the Herbalife YouTube channel for workouts with Samantha Clayton, the Herbalife fitness education specialist. These are excellent workouts to motivate you.
I have found good success with Revelation Wellness videos. This is a Christian based fitness non-profit organization with a mission to bring Christ centered fitness and nutrition to the world. (I use the 10 minute YouTube workouts right now). The site has a VIP channel with full-length workouts that you can access for a $10 monthly donation.
I have discovered another excellent faith-based program called Faithful Workouts. This is a FREE program. All that is required is your email address, and you will receive weekly emails with access to a workout library, menu plans, and articles on faith and fitness. I have been using this site for the past four months, and I absolutely love it. I have used the workouts nearly every morning, and have discovered muscles I didn't know I had. The articles also gave me a spiritual workout as well. I didn't fully focus on them, but I intend to go back and reread and hopefully apply what I learn. Ultimately, my thoughts determine my actions, so I better have renewed thinking in order for the physical effort to be effective.
I am currently working on consistency with my workouts. You don't need a gym to work out. A gym is only good when you use it. As of right now, I want to build consistency at home.
