Thank you! <3
I started my fitness journey on June 1st and I cannot believe the progress I have made. I tried to make a collage but I failed…So I’m just going to put these pictures here next to each other and I hope they inspire people!


I feel like I look tiny in that second picture…you can definitely see the weight I’ve lose in my face! I still have not taken an updated picture of myself, (that one is from a couple weeks ago) but I hope to very soon and show the FINAL results of the summer. :)
edit: I wish I had better pictures to really show the difference, but I’m working on that.

I’ve barely run a 5k…but now I am training for a half marathon. Sounds a bit crazy but I’m running to raise money for the American Cancer Society, so in some masochistic way I think it’s worth…
Ahh, this means so much to me! This guy is great. Thank you! :D
very good point!
Belly roll: stretch legs and arms out. Exhale and slowly roll up and touch your toes, similar to a sit-up, but a little more gentle. Do 15 of these to get your blood flowing.
Bicycles: On your back with your legs bent and your arms behind your head, bring your opposite elbow up to your opposite knee. Like a sit-up but you are criss-crossing your sit-up so you can work different parts of your ab muscles. Don’t strain your neck. Do 25 reps.
Cross Leg Crunch: Cross your foot over your knee, open knees up wide, put hands behind your head and slowly crunch up so your elbow gets as close to your opposite knee as possible. You don’t need to strain, just feel the stretch and come up as far as you can. Exhale with each crunch up. Remember to engage your abs and not your neck.
Side Sit-up: Lay flat on your back, arms behind your head, bend your legs at the knees and twist at the hips so that both legs are on the left side of you. Slowly crunch up. You may not be able to go too far, just come up enough to get your shoulder blades off the bed. Don’t pull on your neck, use as much strength as you can from your abdominal muscles. Do 25 reps on each side.
Roundhouse Kicks: bring one leg straight up in the air, and rotate it clockwise. Stretch your leg out to go as far down and wide as possible. Do 15 reps on each leg.
Plank Lift: Laying on your stomach, bring your body up to a plank on your elbows. Keep your legs straight without touching your knees to the bed. Lift your butt up into the air while your head comes down between your shoulders. Repeat 15 times.
Have a wonderful, energetic day!

1. Forget about sit-ups! You can ignore isolated exercises like sit up and crunches if they had never worked for you. Did you know Navy SEALs and professional athletes never do a single sit-up and shun crunches? According to Sara Ost, some military…
