Wedding Ready - Part 1

I wanted to do a few lifestyle posts on getting "wedding ready"

the first being fitness.

in high school I loved, l o v e d being at the track + being in the weight room.

as I got older + into college I feel like I got lazier. like wayyyy lazy.

I felt like because I could finally make my own schedule + do what I wanted to do with my time.

that I could work out basically never because of how I was in high school

i know dumb logic lol

but anywayyysssss over the past year I gained my senior 7, if thats even a thing.

so I made it a goal this year to get back to a healthy weight I wanted 

along with toned muscles.

so with a soon to be husband that loves his "gettin gains" time with the boys

I decided to get off my lazy butt + get to the gym with the girlfriends

it has been so much fun having friends to go to the gym with

(if you have friends who go to the gym, go with them! it totally helps your motivation)

we have made a little work out routine that fits with our comfort/strength levels

+ the boys make sure we are doing the form correctly so we don't injure ourselves.

so this has been my workout routine for the past few weeks.
now i am totally not saying this workout is for everyone.
everyone has their O W N skill+comfort level
for workouts that are more difficult for you, work up to the number of reps and sets that you can do.
but always try and put in an effort or you will not get anywhere.

my bridesmaid/workout buddy/gorgeous bfff helped me by being in some pictures with me for my workout post :]
