As you know, my husband is now a personal trainer. It’s been an exciting journey so far, with him starting his business. I love giving him advice and being there for him. As I said the other day, I have a love/hate relationship with his business. He is a personal trainer, which leads someone to think…the wife HAS to look good! So I have been VERY mindful of my actions in terms of what I eat and how often I workout.

I also mentioned in the post above that I would give tips and that’s what I’m going to do now!

First, check out my Pinterest board on this topic. There are some AWESOME workouts there and some I will mention here.

One thing that I think makes a difference is I drink a LOT of water! I have a cup that I got on the last day I was in Vegas for the Wedding MBA in 2011.

Enter water mug stage left:

To the capacity, it fits 4 cups of water. Which is 32 ounces of water. They say you should have 64 ounces of water. I normally fill it to about 2 1/2-3 cups of water. If I set this crazy mug on my desk, I will drink it dry in about 30-60 minutes. Now, this is just me. You might need a different container. Or you might need to add a little lemon or other flavor. But I LOVE my skull mug. I’ll normally refill it a few times a day. Water is HUGE in your lifestyle change. Funny story, when I bought this mug, it was filled with a margarita. 🙂

Ok, important note here…..”lifestyle change.” It’s not a diet. It’s not about working out every day. It’s all in how you view things.

Now, I actually work out almost every day. I’ve been doing a lot of the workouts I’ve pinned in the board above. So the last few days have looked like this….

Monday – 4 minute workout (actually EIGHT! minute workout!)
Tuesday – All-over abs workout
Wednesday – All over body workout
Thursday – Countdown workout
Friday – Treadmill workout – self-made – 1 mile, 11:17 mins. Basically, I would do about 8.0-6.0 then 3.0 on “breaks” every 30-60 seconds.

It’s funny, at first I thought, shesh, I can’t work out every day! But that’s exactly what I’ve been doing!

These little Pinterest workouts have been so awesome! They’re fast, they’re changing up everyday….which I think is key….what works best for you, and going with it.

And here we are, kind of working out together…
