Fitness, stumbleupon, and Christmas

So I've recently stepped up my gym workout because I wasn't seeing any progress. I've increased both my cardio and ab workouts. And yes, now I'm seeing progress. 

Are you all familiar with stumbleupon? If not, you should definitely take a look at their website (and their app). You can filter your interests which make for an even better browsing experience. I mentioned it because I've discovered so many different workouts on there along with motivational tips.

Recently, a close friend confided in me about her weight gain and asked about my specific workout. I immediately suggested that she take a look at stumbleupon. When it comes to working out, it's important that you do it because YOU want to, and not because family and friends are expressing their unasked for opinions about your weight. Everyone is capable of working out. It's all about finding the perfect workout for you. For example, my mother enjoys taking classes such as zumba and kettlebell while my brother will go to the gym and do a number of different workouts. 

Everyone tends to pack on some extra pounds during the holidays. On a side note, Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday and I'm just loving all this holiday music on the radio.
