Hellooo lovelies!! My name is Kari, and I will be giving you your weekly dose of fitness workouts, motivation, and inspiration to help reach your goals! Through these weekly posts, I will be talking about a variety of topics such as workouts at home or at the gym, stretching, motivation posts, lifestyle tips, and more!
The fitness journey is NOT always an easy one, but we are in this together! Sometimes you just need someone to get started with to motivate you and keep you going. If that’s you, then you’ve come to the right place, so get ready to KICK ASS with me!
A STRONG workout is the secret to staying fit and enjoying the process. Working out should also be FUN! Yes, you read that right, I said fun! I love working out and living a healthy lifestyle…it makes me feel good, my mental health is at its best this way, and when I look good and healthy, I feel good!
Mental health is something that is very important to me. I have struggled with body image, obsessive weight control, learning to love myself & my body, and many other mental health issues. The way we think about ourselves has a huge impact on our energy levels. Through this blog, I hope you will gain self-confidence, learn to think positive thoughts, and learn other simple tips you can use every day to improve your mental health as well as your physical health. I hope you enjoy this fitness journey as you explore your physical and mental side!
