//BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT//

 This was my attempt at Zen before I started to plan out my workouts...see how I felt un-grounded hehe

I've wanted to do a blog post for a while about working out on a schedule. For a girl on the go, heading to the gym or even try to cram one more thing into my day seems like that there isn't enough coffee in the world. 

I don't know how you handle stress, but for me there are three phases.

Phase 1) I realize my day is really full so I start talking to myself and try to prioritize my day.

Phase 2) Once I realize I've booked to much, I get many symptoms of a person who is hangry..i.e upset, yelling, snappy..the list goes on for a while so I'll spare you.

Phase 3) This is the point where I give up completely on life, I cry and watch Netflix..because what else do you do you when you've given up on life...hello

WELL no more! I have a new method to my madness..Ever since I got my Erin Condren Planner (click here for blog post) , I can see clearly now..the stress is gone!

Here is Kalie's Top 5 ways to incorporate working out into your schedule. 

1) Always plan a week in advance. I am not a fan of "planning as I go". I have a set schedule for my week which makes this a little bit easier, but I always plan on Sunday for the following week. This is when I do my meal prepping as well, cause Gurl bikini season is just around the corner. 

2) Chose only 3 days that you are going to work out. Monday, Wednesday, Friday/// Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. You chose, that way you aren't going to burn yourself out. 

3) It's OK..(clear throat) I repeat.. OK if you only workout of 30 minutes. I don't understand why people need to work out of 1-2 hours. Just relax..unless you are training for a marathon or are in a bikini competition you don't need to seriously pump iron.

4) Make your hobby a workout. I love yoga, and have been practicing for 6 years. I'm not an expert and still need help with my Warrior I at times, but I enjoy it.  It makes workout and strengthening my body that much easier. My mentor, if I can call her that is named Adriene Mishler. She is that master mind behind Yoga with Adriene.. If you don't know now you know. FOLLOW HER!! I seriously never though I would love yoga as much as I do, and it's all thanks to her. She is from Austin, TX and makes you feel more like a friend than a struggling wanna-be.

AND FINALLY

5) ADD FRIENDS...always ask your friends if they want to work out with you. A girlfriend and I just started Barre Releve (Click here for a Groupon...cause who doesn't like a deal).

I couldn't survive the class if it wasn't for her support! 

Well there you go my friends. I hope this post helps you organize your workout schedule a little better, cause we all know...life gets messy, but here are the messes that matter!
