The perfect necklace makes even the most well put together ensemble, just a little prettier. The same goes for your diet, exercise is the perfect addition to keep you looking fit·n·pretty. Read on for some of my favorite workouts and be sure to get moving for at least 30-60 minutes everyday!
Pearls = Your go to workout
Your go-to workout is like the perfect string of pearls. No matter what you are wearing or where you are heading to, you can clasp on your pearls (real or ahem…faux) and you will look and feel great. The same goes for your go-to, standby workout. For me it is a four-mile run from my house to the beach. I know it, I love it, and I’ve done it a thousand times. The best part about this kind of workout is that even if you have taken a week off, you still know exactly what to expect (every incline, decline, terrain change, stop light, etc.) and exactly how you will feel. No matter what else is going on in your life, just like your pearls, you know can depend on this workout to keep you looking your best.
Turquoise = Long weekend hike
Any form of exercise that causes you to get out and experience nature is like a turquoise necklace. Turquoise makes you feel pretty but in an organic kind of way, kind of like you feel after a long Sunday hike. This type of workout challenges you and by the end of it your skin is salty and you may be a little muddy, but you feel refreshed and like you really accomplished something. Just like a one of a kind turquoise necklace, this is the kind of workout you turn to when you need to a break from your normal exercise routine and want to escape the daily grind.
Diamond Solitaire = Pliates or Bar Method Class
Like a diamond necklace (again, real or faux will do), there are certain workouts that not only make you look great, they make you feel like you are treating your body to something special. For me the exercise that comes to mind is a Pilates or Bar Method class (what is the Bar Method? click here for more info). These types of classes can be tough and it can be intimating to be a beginner in room full of women with seemingly perfect bodies (which is why I can be found in the back corner), but there is something very empowering about being able to make it through one of these classes. The abilities and poise these semi-indulgent exercise classes instill, like diamonds, are forever. Treat yourself to one when you need a little boost to your fitness confidence.
Colorful Beaded Necklace = Fun workout, like Zumba or a hip hop class
Sometimes you just want to let loose and try something fun and exciting. In the same way a colorful beaded necklace can spice up any outfit, trying a new workout can bring a whole new level of excitement to a once boring workout routine. Examples of these exercises include spinning, zumba, hip hop, jump roping, hula hooping, or any other workout that gets your body moving and shaking in a different way (who cares how many calories you are burning?). Try one of these exercises when you think you have done everything possible in the workout world, they will remind that there are always possibilities for new fun and exciting ways to stay in shape.
have a fit·n·pretty workout!
