Fitness Journey to be Continued

Creating this blog was a good way to reflect on my fitness journey and all the different contributing factors. I did not realize how much information I have picked up on along the way until I had multiple posts to write. Since I began trying to get fit, I knew very little about it even …

Progress and Goals

For my last blog post, I want focus on my progress and goals. My fitness journey was never smoothly moving but more like a road that I made many wrong turns before I made the right ones. I still make mistakes though as it is a learning process and I will always have things to …

Working Out at Home

Working out at the gym versus working out at home used to seem like a huge difference. I thought that working out without the equipment at the gym was not a real workout. That is why if I was not able to go to the gym, I would not workout besides maybe a few pushups. …

Balance and Coordination

When most people think fitness, usually cardio or lifting weights comes to mind. One area I feel is not given as much attention or focus as needed though is balance and coordination. Of course, it is a given that you need to have good balance and coordination for most exercises but training for it is …

In Depth With Exercises

One of the most important tips I learned on my journey is the significance of form and strategies. Injury is not only common with the lack of stretching but also with how you perform the exercises. My shoulder pain was not only due to a lack of stretching but also because I was performing certain …

Recovery From Soreness

Fitness does not only include the physical part of working out but also recovery. Progress cannot come from constantly working out your muscles. They only grow when you rest and let them rebuild. The process is personal though because how my muscles recover is not the same as how someone else’s would. It also depends …

Gaining Confidence In the Gym

Everyone that goes to the gym has a first time gym experience that is a story to tell, usually to laugh at. It is really unlikely for someone to walk in to the gym their first time, knowing exactly what to do. When I first started going to the gym, I joined LA Fitness. I …

How Nutrition Will Help You Reach Your Goals

As I touched on in my previous post, nutrition is a key factor in the path to a healthy and fit lifestyle. There are various points that need to be taken into consideration when forming your diet. The most important fact I learned when I began researching about nutrition was that everyone’s body is different …
