HOW TO: motivate yourself to exercise

1. make a playlist- I think this is important because I can never work out in silence so it is best to set up a play list of songs that may get you motivated. Songs that work best for me are songs with a catchy tune or a beat that is easy to pick up, and songs that encourage you to look 'sexy'. 
some good songs would be- Hot in here by Nelly, T.H.E by Will.I.am, starships by Nicki Minaj, Sexy and i know it by LMFAO, Turn me on by David Guetta, Rack City by Tyga, Next to me by Emeli Sande and Hot right now by DJ Fresh and Rita Ora. 

2. Choose your destination- Maybe you're not comfortable with working out at a gym with tons of people, if this applies to you then I suggest working out somewhere quieter like your bedroom. If you are quite shy in front of people then you wont be properly motivated at a gym and you will not exercise to the best of your ability. 

3. suitable clothing- don't where a jumper and thick tracksuit bottoms if you're planning to sweat a lot. I suggest wearing shorts and a loose fitting top and ankle socks with small trainers. If you plan to work out in your room then just put on some short pjs. 

4. Be refreshed- Whenever i work out i always make sure i have a glass or bottle of water before hand and then i make sure i have a bottle of water ready for whenever i start to feel dehydrated. If you think you need to reward yourself after your workout DON'T go and get a chocolate bar or a pack of crisps because that will just throw your entire workout in the bin so i suggest eating some fruit after the workout. 

5. The workout- Make sure you know what you you want to test every work out session. So if you plan on working on your leg muscles, arm muscles, toning your stomach e.t.c. Also plan what type of workouts you plan to do so for example I like to tone my stomach a lot so i make sure that I do 50 standard sit ups and 50 elevated sit ups. Then i aim to do some bicycle treads (don't know what they are called sorry)

6. Pace yourself.- Be sure not to do too much at one time or try not to do too many of one thing. When you feel like you cant do any more then stop, dont push yourself to hard. Also take steady breaks e.g. when I do my sit ups I like to do 10 sit ups and then take a 10 second break. 

hope this helps, now i'm off to do my own work out bye x x x

HOW TO: clean out/organise your wardrobe.











FIRST, you start by putting all your clothes onto a bed and putting all unused hangers next to the clothes. Then put all your shoes on the floor near the bed. So now your wardrobe should be completely empty.

NEXT, if you have a wardrobe like mine with two shelves then you should sort out your shoes into two groups. One group of shoes that you can see yourself wearing a lot in the next few months and then the other group of shoes should be ones that you could see yourself wearing a few times. THEN, you should put the group of shoes that you see yourself wearing the most on the top shelf in order or height so that taller shoes will be behind the pump and smaller shoes. THEN, put the other shoes in the second shelf with the same order of height.

AFTER, pick a way of sorting out your clothes, I decided to sort my clothes out in categories of type of clothing e.g. dresses-skirt-play suits-jeans-tops but you could sort it out in order of colour, preference or seasons.

THEN, you would put the first category into your wardrobe, for the best approach you should put the style of the clothing in different sections. e.g. I put dressy dresses on one side of the wardrobe, then the dresses that could be dressy or casual in the middle section and finally the casual dresses on the other side of the wardrobe. After I was sure that I had put all the dresses into the wardrobe I put them all together and moved them to the edge of the wardrobe.

THEN, I carried on doing this technique with all the categories until I had no clothes left out that I wanted to keep. Also I put all the empty hangers in at the far end of the wardrobe for when I get new clothes.

FINALLY, if you have any clothes that you decided you don't want sort them out and give them to the charity store or use them as hand me downs for someone you may know.


Hope this helped, follow and comment x x x
