Am I Enough?

LauraJoli LookingJoliGood2 Comments

Do you ever ask yourself the question “Am I enough?”

Am I good enough? Am I doing enough? Am I happy enough?  Is my house clean enough? Am I beautiful enough? Smart enough? Skinny enough?… The list can go on and on.

Quite often I give myself a hard time.  I expect near perfection from myself and get upset when I don’t reach it. I need to remind myself that all I can do is my best and if I am doing my best I am enough!

When I fail, I am still loved. I am not perfect, but I am still precious.

I love to workout with weights! I like to use 8lb weights, but 3lbs or 5 lbs is great as well!   You can always push the up button by increasing the weight.

Start with one set of each move. As you get stronger,try to do the a circuit two or three times. After six weeks you can expect to see improvements in strength, muscle tone, and endurance. You will be shocked at just how strong you are!

As always…No excuses! Just do it!

I Can and I Will

LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodImage2 Comments

This time of year is so busy and I often feel as if I can’t get every thing done while still doing it all well.  I don’t know about you, but sometimes I need a little bit of extra encouragement.  When things get busy and my schedule is packed full and I feel like I can’t do it all, I try to remind myself that I can and I will!  If you need a bit of extra encouragement today here it is…You can and You will!

I Can and I Will

Do you remember the Jessica Smith 15-Minute Kettlebell Cardio Strength Workout I posted a few weeks ago?  How did you like that one?  Here is another great Kettlebell workout that is a bit more intense (just a warning, it is Jillian Michaels, so you know it is not going to be easy!)

I love Kettlebell workouts!  Since kettlebell workouts incorporate both strength and cardio, you can get a great total body workout in a short amount of time.  You will definitely be feeling this one tomorrow!  Such a great arm, leg and core workout!

Especially when doing Kettlebell movements remember to keep good proper form and warm up before and stretch after you exercise!  You don’t even have to have an actual kettlebell weight, you can use a dumbbell too if you don’t own a kettlebell.

I love to workout with weights! I have added  this routine to my workouts for a few weeks now, and I think it is great!  I use 8lb weights, but you can use 3,5 or even 10 lbs if you want to.  These five basic exercises target all the areas of your arms. It is a great way to have toned strong arms!

One of the main reasons people give that they can’t workout is no time!  Well this quick cardio needs no equipment, doesn’t require a lot of room, and it only takes 10 minutes!! You definitely have 10 minutes to spare!  This one is quick easy and a lot of fun!
