New Work Out

  Hello and welcome! It's Friday! We made it to the end of the week! I hope everyone has a lovely and safe weekend. 

Today I will be writing about my new workout plan. I am in no way any kind of trainer or even in shape for that matter, but this is the simple workout of a retail pharmacist, who's always tired, doesn't have any children yet, and wants to look and be healthy.

With my new work schedule, I am able to work out more days per week because I have more shorter shifts. I would MUCH rather workout on a day that I worked than one of my days off. My days off are for doing literally anything else, i.e. going to the beach, going shopping, getting my hair done, going out with friends. 

Right now, I try to work out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I do weightlift exercises, usually an upper body or lower body work out, alternating the two and I finish up with an ab workout every time. My workouts are never longer than 45 minutes, but I am sweaty and sore afterwards. Sometimes after the workouts, I'll come home and walk my dogs around the neighborhood for about 20-30 minutes. 

This isn't really a lot of exercise, but it does feel right to me for now. I think with about 6 months of consistency, I'll start to fine tune the actual workout. It's very basic right now. I've been trying to increase my protein intake as well. I believe this will help me not only in the gym, but in everyday life. Everyone, especially young women, need protein. Every bodily process depends on it!

That's all for today, just a small health and wellness post. I will see you Monday for the LAST full week of August!

Have a great weekend!
