Workout wednesday: Wild fire legs

Hey guys, and happy wednesday.

Today I am bringing back workout wednesday, and this time with a workout that is going to shape up our legs really good. I did this workout yesterday just to try it out before writing about it, and oh boy do I feel my legs today... When I woke up it felt like my butt and thighs were on fire. I did do some arm exercises as well yesterday, but dont really feel that today.

Lets go:

I recently discovered this youtube channel Xhit daily (that is where the videos are from) and do have to say I am enjoying them, and on top of that they keep me motivated.

I hope you guys enjoyed this little workout... I am going to rest my legs a little before another killer workout today

Have a super awesome wednesday.

Wednesday workout #3

Wednesday workout - Blogilates Style

I haven't really been feeling like making my own workout playlist today, so instead I went with a blogilates playlist. Cassey Ho the woman behind Blogilates makes monthly workout calendars and I am always downloading them to get inspiration.. I usually mix it in with the tone it up girls calendar :) 

Anywho today I felt like working on my abs, and Cassey had just the perfect playlist. Look here. I picked the 1st of July, because it has a lot of abs exercise in that playlist.

Here are the videos I did

I hope you guys love this... I feel this in my body right now, but not in a painful way. I am gonna let you know how I feel tomorrow.

I ended the workout with a good cup of green tea and youtube videos

How was your workouts today?

Easy workout

Hi lovelies

Thought I would share my easy workout I did today. I know workouts shouldn't be easy, but I had an appointment at the dentist, so working out/blood pumping so it would hurt my tooth was not really on my mind... Therefore I present an easy workout for you guys

Do this workout 3x

And this one 3x

This one 1x

And finally this one 1x

Your legs will die during this, I can promise you that. 

I know it's not the hardest or demanding routines today, but that was all I could do :/

I hope you guys are having a great week

Wednesday workout #2 ARMS & ABS

Hello guys

I hope the week is treating you well so far, and that you are enjoying the summer.
I thought I would bring back wednesday workout for you :)
After following other fitness freaks I found out they all follow some kind of schedule like abs one day, legs the other and so on. So... therefore I tried it myself (kinda failed, but it's okay). I started monday with doing abs, but somehow I just wasn't feeling it so I didn't do as much as I wanted. Then yesterday I decided to do abs again and the incorporate an arm workout. My arms are so weak, so I have decided to do something about it... starting out slowly of course, otherwise my arms would die completely O.o

Heres what I did yesterday:

(3 times)

(1 time - my abs were burning after this one)

(1 time)

(3 times)

Later on I went for a 30 min powerwalk

Today (wednesday) I am feeling it in my abs.. The fat is crying and dying lol

Later on I will work on my booty... Or maybe just go steal it from J.LO ;)

Have a nice day

Monday motivation - Celeb edition

You probably think you are the only one struggling with weight and how you should look and so on... WORNG! Everyone in this cool little world has thoughts like that, even celebrities.
Something that is motivating for me is seeing someone I look up too, fighting and doing something about it whatever it is (In this case it is health/fit), and that really inspires me to keep going.

So I thought why not have a Motivation Monday - Celeb Edition

Ashley Tisdale

Jennifer Aniston

Gwen Stefani

Holly Madison

Miranda Kerr 

Britney Spears

Kate Hudson

Jessica Biel

I hope you guys are having a great week :D

Remember to smile

5 tips to lose weight

Hey guys, I just wanted to do a little monday motivation blog post for you guys about losing weight. Keep in mind that I am not a professionnel, and these tips are my own tips for you guys.

1. Be realistic

What do you see when you look in the mirror? 

Usually we tend to see ourselves as ugly flappy creatures when trying to lose weight, when in reality right infront of you stands a beautiful soul. SKINNY IS NOT THE WAY TO GO, HEALTHY IS! If you didn't know it, being skinny as a stick can be just as dangerous as being obese. Keep in mind that you are beautiful no matter what size you are.

2. Dieting is a no go

If you decide to be healthy and lose a bit of weight, then yay that is good for you. 

When you start this health kick then don't buy into all these so call diets. Being healthy is a lifestyle that your body needs you to remain throughout your life... your body will thank you for it.

People often thinks that in order to lose weight you only have to exercise... WRONG. Food has a lot of saying in whether or not you lose the weight.

3. Exercise

Get up and get moving. Go for a run outside and enjoy your surroundings, if you can't run, then go for a power walk. Studies show that power walks does wonders for your body. Join a gym with a buddie, or do it alone if you prefer that (personally I like going alone - I enjoy my "me-time"). 

If you can't afford a gym membership, look videos up on youtube. A home gym is just as good for your body as a pro gym. you can even do cardio at home... I use dancing games and training games on the xbox for my little cardio fix on those days when I don't want to go outside. You all know does days when it is raining and home is just the place to be.

4. Change it up

If you have found the perfect fitness/cardio/running routine and you master it like a superstar, it might be time to switch it up with a new little exercise routine. If you do the same exercise over and over again, day after day, your body becomes used to that training session and not much will happen. Mix it up or add in some new moves to your routine. I usually switch up my youtube playlist workout every week.

5. Have fun

Lets face it, you are not gonna stick to exercising and eating healthy if it's becoming a chore. Find something that makes YOU happy, no matter if it makes you look silly or just totally weird. If people look at you funny it's their problem, not yours. They are probably just jealous that you are comfortable enough to have fun no matter what. I never thought I could do dance workouts infront of my bf, but I am having so much fun that I don't care... I just laugh it off. And now he is the one cheering me on.
Make food fun. Make dinner with a friend or your bf/gf... Not only is it fun, it can also be romantic and very healthy.
Healthy food doesn't have to taste bad, you can actually find some pretty good recipes online.

I hope this motivated you guys a little :)

Have a kick ass day, and take every day as it comes.

My new favorite thing

Summer is slowly arriving here in little Denmark.. I say slowly cause mostly its been rainy or really windy here.
Anywhozzels I started running on the beach last month and it has probably been the hardest (workout) I have done. The only time I've run is in the gym. I have a knee injury from way back and I have been scared to run ever since cause my kneecap pops out basically when it wants to.
But I thought to myself nope no more being afraid im just gonna do it, so I went running - and so far I love it.
I cant run that far cause my knee starts acting wierd but then I just take a small walking break and after that im running again :)

These are some pictures from yesterday

I use the app (for my iphone) endomondo, it tracks your running really well, as well as other activities.

Yesterday I reached 6.80 km on the beach - that is my best so far.

My legs have been dying today lol, so no exercise today

I hope you all are good :D

Xoxo Mie

power to the music

Hola people 

Hope you're all doing great out there.

So do you guys ever feel like music is sometimes the only thing that kicks your butt out of the door and over to the gym/or outside working out... to be honest it does with me.

It has been proved that music makes you perform better when you're working out... running for 10 more mins or doing squats, jump rope or what ever it may be. 

So my suggestion is, that even though its starting to be a bit grey outside, fill your ipod, mp3, iphone or whatever you have with awesome music that YOU like and that will inspire you to push it a bit more and go for run or something that makes you active.

Im gonna share some of my songs that Im listening to at the moment that inspires me (I have to say that I only listen to these song when Im working out :) )

Katy perry - Teenage dream (just look at those abs when she is in those skinny jeans)

Selena Gomez & The scene - Naturally

Flipsyde - When it was good

Miley cyrus - Can't be tamed (love the beat of this song)

David Guetta - Getting over you (amazing song, that always pumps me up)

So I hope this gave you some ideas... I could easily fit a gazillion song on here but that would be a very long blog post ;)

Please remember to subscribe, for more tips, ideas and random blogs

Love always, Mie

Random rambles

Hi everyone in Blogsville :D

So this is just a little random blog. Maybe some of you have noticed that my layout on this blog has changed and that is because I wanted something a bit more summery, just for now. I got a bit of help since Im kinda lacking in that department haha..

So yesterdays exercise was a "long" walk with my cousin around the city and it was really nice and relaxing and we just talked about a lot of things. We both have been caught up in our own little world and haven't made that much time for each other - a shame really.

Anyways we walked to this concert venue and it was just the best feeling cause it

reminded me of back in the days when we were inseparable and would spend most of our days together...

Well things change and people change, but at least we still try to spend time together when we can.

Anyways after vega we went over to a park were we sat and talked for a bit.. it was nice and the weather was actually okay.

It all just got me thinking that you have to treasure those moments you have with your loved ones because you never know when they are gonna be over.

So with all said and done.. find someone you haven't talked to in a while or called someone you miss and say hey wanna go for a walk? go out and enjoy the weather and be happy!

Much love

-Mie
