3 Favorite Workout Essentials That You’ll Love

.FullSizeRender 4 - 3 Favorite Workout Essentials That You'll Love

In the past few months, I’ve been able to workout more and track my progress with the help of my 3 favorite workout essentials. My workout routine is now consistent and I feel great. I am getting my steps in daily and I definitely have more energy.

Pedometer App for iPhone

The Pedometer app on my iPhone is my go to when I want to know how many steps I have taken each day and the best part is that it’s a free app. It helps me track my daily and weekly step counts. It sinks with the apple watch so that I can view my  progress without picking up my phone and I can set my daily step goal and see my results instantly. As you can see below for 6 days straight I exceeded my daily goal of 7500 steps. This was a great week for me.

Pacer App

The Pacer app is another free app to track daily walks, runs and bike rides. It also keeps a record of my steps for up to a year, this is huge for me as it keeps me motivated to increase my goals. In addition it can sync up with Facebook to allow friends and family to track results. My girlfriends and I are able to see each other’s progress and encourage one another through the app.  As I mentioned earlier, it’s a free app so it can be limited in performance. However if you want more detailed data it offers some paid upgrades.

Stretch Workout Belt

Keeping up with my ID, keys, phone, and air pods used to be a challenge until I discovered this stretch workout belt. It allows me to keep up with everything without being bulky and weighing me down. My girlfriend gifted it to me and I use it all the time. The adjustable straps keeps it securely in place and it’s dual  stretchy pockets allow me to keep up with everything I need. It can easily fit my iPhone, keys and there’s even space for my mini hand sanitizer.

Happy March Y’all! It’s the beginning of a new Happy March Y’all!
It’s the beginning of a new month, what will you do differently than what you did last month?

How will you stretch yourself or step out of your comfort zone?

These are questions I ask myself each month. In March I am challenging myself to post everyday as well as do at least 1 reel a week and finally 1 IG live. Now y’all know that IG live is a huge stretch for me because it forces me out of my comfort zone. But I realize that I can’t play SMALL! 

Your turn, tell me about some of your goals for March?

Last summer I repotted my babies and within a few Last summer I repotted my babies and within a few weeks they were all infested with gnats. There were literally thousands of them in the soil...ok maybe I’m exaggerating. 

I found out that there was  likely larvae in the soil and as soon as I added water they came out like Gremlins. 😂😂

After weeks of struggling to get rid of them I finally decided to put them outside in the sun in hopes that the direct heat would kill them. Y’all know Atlanta is hot in July. 

This desperate act worked however my plant babies suffered major heat damage. Many of their leaves turned brown and I was convinced they wouldn’t make it. 

I’m happy to say they are all alive and thriving, they’re a few tiny brown spots but for the most part they are healthy.😊

They probably need to be repotted again and I’m not looking forward to it at all. 

How often do you repot your plants?

Do you know that I shot this photo more than a doz Do you know that I shot this photo more than a dozen times? I was searching for the perfect “IG photo”. And then I asked myself, what is the perfect IG photo and who determines that it’s perfect? 

I like what I like! This is one of my favorite dresses that I can finally fit in again. It’s a little snug and I love it. Oh, and  despite that, it’s still IG worthy. 

Do you Sis!

This week I’ve shared my favorite ways of enjoyi This week I’ve shared my favorite ways of enjoying self care. Today I saved the best for last...sleep!! I have never truly appreciated the benefits of getting a full night of rest. 

Adequate sleep is just as important as exercising. It improves moods, increases energy levels as well as decreases irritability and depression. 

Self care has become a priority for me. 
Discovering these healthy habits has made me a better version of myself as I am more productive and happier. Taking time out to love yourself should always be a priority. Slow down, re-center and focus on you!

Are you ready to make self care a priority? How will you start?
