Workout Wednesday

Workout Wednesday!

Hello ZombieUnicorns, today lets talk all the small steps to getting fit and living healthier.

So I recently discovered that my LG G4 had an app called LG Health. It basically calculates your BMI based off weight, age, gender, and height and then tells you how active you should be in a day, by showing you how many steps you should be walking.

I really like it because it shows what hours you are most active, as well as telling you how many calories you have burned.

My account says that mu BMI is about 21.0 and my recommended activity goal is 8746 steps(3.68 miles) which will burn about 250 calories.

I set my personal goal as 8000 and it's pretty easy, I usually hit 7000 steps. Now if I took my phone with me running then I would probably get over the 8000.

But the biggest thing it showed me was how sedentary I am on weekend.

On the tracker you can see your daily percentage, most of mine are between 80%-90% on days when I have marching band and school. But on Friday I only got 40%, no marching, and on the weekend I didn't get above 3%!!! Which blew my mind, and really made me want to change that because I know that's about how active I was when I was home during the summer.

This along with my nutrition class will hopefully help me stay fit and healthy, as well as help my fiancé since he goes running with me.

Apps like these are great motivators for anyone who wants to try and be more active, I would definitely recommend this to any college student, or someone with a desk job, like myself.

Do some research and find what you like best, most smart phones have started coming with a built in app like mine.

Short and sweet today, remember even just walking for 30 minutes a day helps keep you fit and to get cardio. Have a good evening and don't forget to paint the roses red!

Workout Wednesday!

Hello ZombieUnicorns, sorry for missing yesterday's post but here's how I've been trying to keep on the healthy track!

So I forgot how exhausting school can be, especially when getting up at 6 AM everyday and not stopping till 4:30 most days. But I still am trying to workout everyday and eat healthier. Hopefully since i'm taking a nutrition class the eating better part will be much easier. I try and keep the MyPlate portions in my head, and try and apply when I can.

We actually went over this today, we grouped up and categorized what we ate for dinner the night before and then the whole class put up their categories on a chart. My group cheated a little because we counted French fries as a vegetable.

But besides that I'm also trying to drink more water and tea in place of soda. I've also been going walking/jogging with my fiancé, which with marching band has definitely helped with getting cardio into my routine. I also started using the LG Health app on my phone to count how many steps I take everyday, my goal is 8000(or 3.68 miles) which should burn 247 calories.

This is the yoga workout I will be trying tonight before bed if you would like to try it as well.

I will try and do a small morning flow as well when I get up tomorrow to start my day off right.

That's about it for today enjoy the rest of your day and I wish you luck in your health journey, and don't forget to paint the roses red.
