Boy am I missing the gym.
A few times a week I’d meet a girlfriend first thing in the morning before the family woke up. We’d get in a tough workout and chat while doing it.
Since being at home, my workout motivation is lacking. Yes – I’m walking with the kids, jumping on the trampoline, shooting hoops with my son. But – it’s just not the same.
So – in hopes of motivating me (and maybe you if you are feeling like me), I pulled out my notebook and found my top favorite workouts to share with you!
Boyfriend tank, also in black // Sneaker, newest color // Joggers, multiple colors, size 4 here. Love this jogger too // Classic sweatshirt, multiple colors, $9
This leopard tank though!! I love the subtle sheer detail. Loose workout tops are my favorite. This boyfriend style is so flattering too! Also available in black and I have size 2.
And bonus! This outfit is perfect for easy lounging or working from home too!!
Thought I’d share 3 of my top favorite workouts that you can do at home. I know I’ve been slacking in the workout motivation category lately so thought by sharing I’d get motivated and that it may be inspiring to some of you too.
