Can you believe that #Summer18 is right around the corner (Literally 3 months away)? They always say summer bodies are made in the winter. The last four months I’ve been the most consistent with working out multiple times per week, and now that I’m training for the Brooklyn Half Marathon, that will kick my workouts in high gear. I’ve set and accomplished goals of releasing 15 lbs or more over three months and I’ve accomplished that. The last few years, my weight has been very inconsistent and between 2015-2017 I’ve been my heaviest. I’ve stopped worrying so much about the number and focus more on feeling energized and looking great in my clothes.
Over the last two months I’ve been visiting the gym more consistently (I went to the gym more times in one week than I have in two years smh. I also take a free aerobics class at my local PAL (Police Athletic League) center twice a week that has helped me get closer to my life goals, not just #Summer18.
Starting this month I’m going to reintroduce two apps that were pivotal in me getting my weight under control when I was to lazy and afraid to go to the gym.

7- Minute Workout Challenge– What I love about this app are the different types of workouts. Similarly to the 7-Minute Women’s Workout, there are different workout options that this app offers. One focus that this app has that the other does not is a focus on the upper body. A lot of the times when I gain weight, not only does it impact my midsection, but my upper body as well, so I need to do quite a bit of work to tone my arms. This app offers 5-workout challenges- Classic, Fat Burner, AB Blaster, Lower Body, and Upper Body.
