How To Make Yourself Actually Want to Work Out
Your alarm goes off, you hit snooze, and curl back up in bed – sound like a typical morning? If you’re like me, it’s pretty easy to talk yourself out...
I’ll be honest, I’ve never really been very big into working out. (I think I get this one from my mama!) But since I grew up either dancing or cheering, I was always active in some way. And since graduating, I’ve had to find ways to keep my body moving. I like learning as much as I can about fitness and am occasionally inspired to get into a routine. In this category, I’ share what has and hasn’t worked for me, real-life-busy-girl tips, and everything in between. I’m hoping that this category will grow as my motivation does! Speaking of workout motivation, I did write a post on How To Make Yourself Actually Want To Workout and I use these tips to continue to motivate myself!

With everything that’s been going on and most gyms shut down for the past few months, I thought this was a really timely subject to talk about. A lot of...
We all need motivational boosts, and especially this time of year, I know a lot of us are looking for those. Whether it’s an older photo of you or a...
Today I want to talk a bit about training shoes. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve likely seen me posting workout videos the past few months. I signed up to start working out with a personal trainer 2-3x a week and it has been a GAME changer for my mental health and fitness. Y’all know I’m all about progress over perfection so for me, the important thing is just…
I can’t believe we’re already halfway through January, y’all. It feels like we *just* kicked off the New Year! This time of year, it can be a struggle to get back on track after a couple of months of all things holiday. Between the cold weather and the fact that many of us traded in healthy eating for baked goods (just me?), we can all be a bit slow-moving in…
Outfit Details: Sports Bra (similar) // Leggings (similar) // Jacket // Sneakers This time of year can be crazy busy between traveling, holiday get-togethers, and all the things sitting on our never-ending to-do lists. Squeezing in a workout can seem nearly impossible! I get it. To be honest, there are a LOT of days I struggle to fit in my workouts during the rest of the year, so doing so during the holidays…
I’ve been a fan of the Lululemon Align leggings for as long as I can remember (the hype is REAL, y’all), but I’ll admit that I’m a new convert of the Align JOGGERS! These joggers are made with the same buttery Nulu fabric that the leggings are, so they literally feel weightless when you wear them. It’s hard to describe unless you’ve tried these on before — but there’s a…
Today’s gift guide is all about shopping for the fitness lover in your life. This is the kind of person who loves to close their rings every day on their apple watch (and if they don’t already have an apple watch, they definitely need one!) or has been eyeing one of those cool Hypervolt massage devices for months! Sometimes they can be tricky to shop for so hopefully this gives…
Where do I even begin with the Vuori Performance Joggers?! They’re the PERFECT jogger in every way. From comfort to style to function, they literally check all the boxes! You guys seem to love them as much as I do because they were actually a 2020 best seller for me so I thought I’d give them a moment of their own on the blog. Why do I love them so…
Hi friends! Today I thought we’d talk biker shorts! First of all, what do y’all think about biker shorts? Are you into them? Still not sure? Either way, I get it. It’s kinda taken me a while to feel comfortable in them, and to be completely honest I still feel a bit weird styling them and wearing them as an actual outfit like to lunch or errands or something, but…
It is absolutely no secret that I have an obsession with lululemon. Their stuff is just honestly THE BEST. If you haven’t tried it yet, do it!! And if you’re looking for an amazing top/shirt, well, you’re in the right place! I’ve been raving about lululemon’s Align leggings for forever, but in the last year or so I’ve also discovered the amazingness that is their shirts. Between the fits, the…
I’m not sure when athletic sneakers became such a huge part of my shoe collection – probably in the last year or two? But looking at my closet these days, there is no doubt I love them and might even have a problem, lol. I always had a couple pairs but walking has become such a big part of my routine, and because of this I am always on the hunt for…
A couple weeks ago I made a pretty big lululemon order and shared a few of my purchases on a recent reel. And before you ask…yes I did get another pair of align leggings (my downfall). BUT, I also picked up a few new kinds of tanks that I have not tried before and some running shorts (walking in my case). And yes – lulu is a bit expensive but their…
Something y’all hear me talk about (and see on Stories!) a lot is my daily 30-minute walking routine. This is a habit I started a handful of years ago – before Four and even before Duncan! Since it’s become such a big and important part of my daily routine, I thought I’d break down why I love it, what it does for me personally, how it’s become great family time…
One of my most frequently asked questions during my pregnancy has definitely been how I’ve been working out throughout. And I totally get why! Working out during pregnancy is something that many people feel differently about – there are so many opinions and lots of guidance on the subject that it can be difficult to navigate.
Outfit Details : Leggings // Top // Cardigan // Shoes OK, I feel like I have to kind of say something before diving into this post. I am NOT any kind of personal trainer/fitness influencer LOL. I started sharing my workouts on IG a while ago (even before COVID) because I thought it would be helpful to anyone else who struggles to workout even though they know they should (AKA…
With everything that’s been going on and most gyms shut down for the past few months, I thought this was a really timely subject to talk about. A lot of places have reopened depending where you live, but I know a lot of you are still working out at home. Personally, I’ve been back to my gym a few times, but not gonna lie, it still feels a little weird.
OK, today is all about cute workout clothes for warm weather! Because as it turns out, Denver gets HOT. Who knew? LOL. Although I will say, there’s not a lot of humidity, which is a very welcome change compared to Dallas. Anyway, I tend to swap a few things out with my activewear this time of year because I’m all about crop tops and fun leggings – like this tie-dyed…
Outfit Details: Work For It Tank (wearing size xs) // Zero Gravity 7/8 Leggings (wearing size xs) Duncan and I have been trying to workout everyday at home since we’ve been quarentined. Our goal is to close the “move ring” on our apple watches every day. I’ve been doing some workouts with Madeline Moves and a few on my own. Earlier this week I asked all of you to share…
Hey friends! OK, so just in case you haven’t seen my Stories recently, the Denver weather has hit me HARD. I know that sounds really dramatic LOL, but it’s been a big eye-opener. It’s like I knew it would be different than Dallas, but actually starting to experience it is crazy. Also, I don’t hate it? It’ll take some time to adjust for sure, but I really don’t mind because…
Hey friends! OK, so I feel like I’ve kinda made it an official thing on Instagram, but not really on the blog. I think I’ve mentioned it a few times in a couple posts, but I wanted to officially put it out there on here too! You might be thinking, Brighton, what the heck are you even talking about?! LOL. My walking challenge!! Let me give you some back story……
