Lole Activewear + giveaway
Nichole is back with a few more of her fitness tips. Read this about her weight loss secret, the cardio sandwich workout. You can use the strengthening moves below during your next workout.
Being consistent in your workouts pays off way more than working out like crazy every once in a while. We get overwhelmed thinking about getting that workout in, then we don’t do it! But even if its a quick run and some strength, ‘showing up’ will keep your routine going even on your busy days!
I went into the Lole store in SoHo and fell in love with this brand I’m wearing here. Lole stands for ‘Live Out Loud Everyday’ and the brand helps you do just that! The tops and workout gear transition so easily to the street, I’m never getting out of them. The cover-up top here has gotten me so many compliments, I’m getting another in another color. The capris are the best for us drowned-rat girls who sweat a lot while working out. Bonus: Those mesh insets are so flattering! If you’re in NYC visiting or if you’re in the NY area make sure and check out the LOLE store in SoHo. It’s such an experience.
Lole just launched their fall workout and lifestyle line and it’s awesome. When you’re cute in your active wear, you’ll look forward to any workout, long or short, and you won’t have any excuse to put it off that day.
Here are 5 of my favorite moves to do after a quick 30-minute run (or a long run, if you’re needing to hash through a lot in your head!) They workout more than one area at a time and can finish off your workout feeling great!
1.Downdog / Spider – This post-run move gives you a stretch along with a great power-up to your upper body. Get into a good Downdog pose, hold, then keeping your arms straight, power forward and lift one leg meeting your knee. Alternate sides, do 20 reps.
2. Shoulder Pull-Aparts with Resistance Band – Packing a tiny resistance band in your luggage will give you access to a great move or two while traveling! Keep your elbows glued to your side and starting with your hands in front, moving outward as far as you can go. Keep the resistance moving outward and slowly back in. 20 reps.
3. Halos – Start with upper arms parallel to the ground, the weight in your hands higher than your forehead. Keeping the ‘L’ formation as best as you can, let the hand weight circle around your head in one direction for 20 reps, then the other for another 20. This will work triceps well, along with shoulders, lats, and everything!
4. Bicep Calf Raises – Start with arms straight down by your side, and as you do a bicep curl, lift up on your toes. Don’t neglect your calves in your workouts! It prevents injury and shapes your leg gently! Do 20 reps.
5. Donkey Lift with Curtsey – Lift leg like shown, then while bringing that leg back down to the ground, cross it behind the grounded knee. This works your shoulders and back (and core if you hold your abs in tight!) as well as that lifting glute and hip! 20 each side
