DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A WORKOUT I TOOK OFF OF THE NIKE TRAINING APP.

I totally encourage you to download this app (tons of plans, workouts, exercises, etc). It also lets you put a playlist for while you do the moves. Greattt app!

Why post it again?

Not everyone will be checking this constantly. And not everyone will be able to download it. (Team Droid LOL) so here it is as both a reminder to work out and get off tumblr for a bit and also for a workout! Good luck all keep me updated on all of your stats and ask questions and make suggestions at:

1st of all:

The blog isn’t posting them on time so I’m always late on them

2nd of all:

I forget about them so i don’t do them.

I’m just gunna start my own challenge. Message me with what YOU would like to see and what you want to do. There’s only 9__ days till summer lol we can do this!

That wonderful amazing feeling of soreness! Sucks when you actually have to make violent movements like getting into your bed or rising from a chair. Or worse. Sitting in one.

So here are some helpful tips on how to ease the pain!

1. Warm up Cool Down!

          Always remember to cool down and warm up before and after you exercise by stretching!

2. Shower ASAP

          Showering right after, (cold water suggested in the summer but obviously warm if you can’t tolerate it) it’ll lessen the pain and help your muscles relax for a bit.

3. The Biggie: Isopropyl Alcohol

         Like the kind to disinfect? The kind to clean? YES! Take a bottle of at least 91% Isopropyl Alcohol (found at any drugstore) and pour it into your hands and quickly rub it on any area that needs it: arms, legs, etc. Pour and massage/rub. Don’t worry to much about spilling it as it dries quickly. However, it does smell strongly and bad so I would recommend doing this in an open area or with the bathroom fan on or window open.

4. Suggestion: Do this right after your shower. Put on any facial lotion first however since you don’t want traces of alcohol on your face. That would burn so bad and dry out your skin terribly! Rub on the alcohol all over your body and then apply body lotion since alcohol is very drying.

Workout and have fun! Hopefully you feel some soreness but not so much that simply going across the room seems daunting!

But I’m ready. If you don’t know what I’m talking about go here:
