How to Stick to a Work Out (See Jane Sweat)

If you follow me on Instagram, you might’ve seen my plea for workout help.  I decided last week that I couldn’t continue down my road of skinny-fat and for general health purposes, it’s time to get back in the workout saddle.  For context (I’m just going to put it all out there), I am not very athletic BUT at the same time, I’m not totally inept.  I dabbled in sports for years but you know what, I was never good enough to stick with it.  I WAS an avid horseback rider, though (started riding as a 5 year old).  My body type is naturally thin–I like to say willowy but my family has always called me lanky.  However, I have no natural muscle tone.  I hear my friends complain about how certain exercises make them ‘bulk up’ and I can relate in no way.  I would like some muscle, some tone, and some more energy overall, please!  Anyway, I started a tone-up/barre hybrid class last week before the kids wake up and so far so good; but I’m three classes down and I actually want to stick with it so I asked the masses to give me their best tips and I want to share them with you!

• Schedule your class ahead of time–it forces you to stick with it due to cancellation fees.
• Take before photos and take another photo once a week to look at your progress.
• Bring a friend (or two) – you force each other to be accountable.
