Let's get sporty

I do not work out. At all. Everybody that knows me knows this, I'm the least likely person to go to the gym or participate in any kind of activity. Plus, everything I know about sports I know from People and Daily Mail, so unless a sports player has a famous wife, chances are I've never heard about him.
I tried to change this so many times. Going to the gym, going running, playing tennis, swimming. I am just not motivated enough to stick to an exercise routine.
Last year I followed a lot of fitness accounts on Instagram and I tried the 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels. I worked out for 30 minutes at home, then I walked to the gym at our apartment complex and I did 30 minutes on a treadmill. I didn't lose a single pound and even though I could see my arms were getting stronger, not one of my "problem areas" was getting smaller or more muscular. So after 30 days I wrapped up my efforts and that was it.
I am ready to try again and I'm hoping that Victoria's Secret and their cute workout clothes will be the key. I read a great motivation tip - put on your gym clothes and then decide if you want to go to the gym or not. Today I received in mail a Victoria's Secret sports bra and leggings and that's the push I needed. They are cute and comfortable, plus they are real workout clothes, not the casual leggings and oversized shirt I used to wear before. It's the perfect push - new, fancy sports gear that NEEDS to be tried in action - that I was looking for. 

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

XOXO,
