Lately, I’ve been struggling with getting myself back to <em>where I want to be</em> fitness-wise. Sure I’ve been going to my local gym sort of regularly, and even go on the occasional run. But, what I’ve realized, is that when I do, I’m just not pushing myself hard enough. And hence, not seeing the results I want. I came to the obvious conclusion that I needed more structure to my workouts and more accountability. Is anyone else feeling the same? If so, buckle up buttercup for my <a href="https://www.corepoweryoga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CorePower Yoga</a> review.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">New Year, New Gym</h4> <p>So I didn’t set out to be one of those people who joins a new gym in January. But it appears that I now firmly fall into that beloved category. I’ve practiced yoga off and on over the years, but never consistently enough to really advance or achieve great results. It’s sort of been part of the mix of things I do within my fitness routine, to change things up. So I don’t consider myself a beginner, although I am by no means advanced. This year, I’d like to change that.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/online-yoga-blog-1024x1024.jpg" alt="yoga online" class="wp-image-4064" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></figure> <p>As I mentioned earlier, I came to the realization sometime in late 2022 that I needed some more structure to how I’ve been approaching the active part of wellness. Joining a yoga studio, specifically a hot yoga studio, was really the first option that popped into my head and for some reason stuck. The idea of getting an intense workout and sweating out even more toxins was appealing. So I did a quick search to see if there were any studios near me. Enter <a href="https://www.corepoweryoga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CorePower Yoga</a>.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">CorePower Yoga</h4> <p>To my surprise, the nearest CorePower studio was only 5 minutes from my house. I had actually noticed it before but didn’t really <em>see</em> it. As I dug deeper into what this studio is all about, I realized that there are many CorePower studios located nationwide. And when you sign up for a membership, you get access to all of their studios, which is a great feature IMO.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/CSL-Design-Templates_Cotton-Athletic-March-2022-1024x261.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-4734" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></figure> <p>Before I wholeheartedly committed to membership, I decided to sign up for a free trial week. It was easy enough to do online and I instantly had access to sign up for a class. I signed up for a Yoga Sculpt class pronto. That week, I think I did a total of 5 classes, I tried three different classes within that first week, which is how I’d recommend you take advantage of your free week trial. I pretty much knew after my first class that I wanted to sign up for a membership. They also had a special price for your first month when you signed up, not sure if that is still current but was a nice bonus.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">How it’s going</h4> <p>I am now two months into my membership and have been going to in-person classes 4 to 5 times a week. It may be an obsession at this point but am finally starting to see the results I want. I am getting stronger and able to work harder at each class I attend. It’s definitely not a results overnight kinda thing, but I am seeing results and am totally satisfied with the membership. Here are some quick bulletpoints of why I love <a href="https://www.corepoweryoga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CorePower Yoga</a>.</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Class Variety</strong> – There are a range of classes that vary in difficulty/intensity. My favorite is the Yoga Sculpt class where you use weights within the flows. I’ll also mix in some of the other classes during the week especially if I am doing them a couple of days in a row.<br></li> <li><strong>Class Times</strong> – I am 100% a fan of early morning workouts, so I typically join the earliest classes of the day. They have a pretty decent number of classes a day so something is bound to work for your schedule. <strong><em>Tip: In my experience, the earlier the class, the less crowded, except for Saturday morning classes, which are always busy.</em></strong><br></li> <li><strong>The Teachers</strong> – Super friendly and welcoming and will very likely remember you by name if you go consistently. They really seem to care about their students and are always asking for feedback about the classes they lead.</li> </ul> <p>Overall, I believe that if you are looking for a more structured, class-type fitness experience, CorePower Yoga might just be perfect for you. And with their free week trial what do you have to lose? I am seeing benefits both physically and mentally of my membership and plan to continue to grow my yoga practice and get in the best shape of my life.</p> <p>Hope you could get some value out of my <a href="https://www.corepoweryoga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CorePower Yoga</a> review. Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried one of their classes or maybe something else has works for you. Until next time, Aloha!</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Check out what’s new in the Shop</h4> <figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://alohalovelyshop.com/products/hawaii-lover-ringer-tee" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" width="1024" data-id="4740" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Hawaii-Lover-Blue-Ringer-Tee-2-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4740" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></a></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://alohalovelyshop.com/products/salt-cures-tee" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" data-id="4741" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Salt-cures-tee-2-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4741" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></a></figure> </figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://alohalovelyshop.com/pages/sign-up" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Screen-Shot-2022-09-10-at-7.14.56-AM.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4597" width="978" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></a></figure> <p>The post <a href="https://alohalovely.com/setting-2023-new-year-fitness-goals-corepower-yoga-review/">Setting 2023 New Year Fitness Goals: CorePower Yoga Review</a> appeared first on <a href="https://alohalovely.com">Aloha Lovely</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://alohalovely.com/setting-2023-new-year-fitness-goals-corepower-yoga-review/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Workout Motivation: How to Keep Going and Crush Your Goals</title> <link>https://alohalovely.com/workout-motivation-how-to-keep-going-and-crush-your-goals/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=workout-motivation-how-to-keep-going-and-crush-your-goals</link> <comments>https://alohalovely.com/workout-motivation-how-to-keep-going-and-crush-your-goals/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Julie]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 25 Jan 2021 17:47:59 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Fitness]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Wellness]]></category> <category><![CDATA[goals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[healthy living]]></category> <category><![CDATA[healthylife]]></category> <category><![CDATA[motivation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wellness]]></category> <category><![CDATA[workoutideas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[workoutmotivation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[workoutplan]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://alohalovely.com/?p=4304</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>We all have those days.

I know that in order to keep myself interested, I need to be constantly changing things up. In fact, I try to do something different with every workout. </p> <p>Right now, I have a rotation of running, CrossFit and <a href="https://alohalovely.com/favorite-30-minute-yoga-flows/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">yoga</a> workouts. And in addition to keeping it fresh, the variety allows my body to recover better in between workouts. I’ve even switched up workouts right in the middle of an activity. Warm-up with a yoga flow and then maybe progress into more of a CrossFit style workout. </p> <p>You just have to find the right workout mix for you. If you’re wondering what that is, check out my post <a href="https://alohalovely.com/how-to-find-your-fitness-groove/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/online-yoga-blog-1024x1024.jpg" alt="yoga online" class="wp-image-4064" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></figure> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Find a workout buddy</h4> <p>Sometimes all we need is a little motivational push from a friend. And working out with someone else can help turn the grind of a workout into something a lot more fun. You and a friend can help hold each other accountable as well as motivate each other to reach individual goals.</p> <p>Make plans to meet up for a morning run or hike or sign up for a spin class together. You can sweat your way through the workout and then grab a healthy breakfast after. Quality time with a friend as well is a bit of self-care on it’s own, its a win-win.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/IMG_20200522_215019_581-1-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4228" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></figure> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Get the right gear</h4> <p>Having the right workout gear can really make a difference in your motivation to get out there and sweat. Whether its feeling fabulous in some new workout clothes or just having the right piece of tech, the right training accessories can really make a difference in both your motivation and progress.</p> <p>I know I feel much better with quality apparel and the right technology. These items can both help motivate me to keep moving, as well as give me data about my progress. Everyone is different, so take some time and do your research on what might help you personally stay on track and enjoy your workouts.</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>Check out some of my favorite running gear <a href="https://alohalovely.com/aloha-friday-favorites-running-gear/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p></blockquote> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/running-gear-main-1024x1024.jpg" alt="running-gear-main" class="wp-image-2469" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></figure> <p>So there ya go, a few ways that I personally find motivation to keep going and crush those goals.

It’s amazing how different scents and flavors will benefit your wellbeing at different points during the day.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://ooh.li/33ace45" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/burts-bees-4-1024x1024.jpg" alt="burt's bees lip butters" class="wp-image-3879" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></a></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://ooh.li/33ace45" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/burts-bees-8-1024x1024.jpg" alt="burt's bees lip butters" class="wp-image-3883" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></a></figure> <p>So if you’re looking to up your lip care game, head on over to your local ULTA Beauty or online at <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="ulta.com (opens in a new tab)" href="https://ooh.li/33ace45" target="_blank">ulta.com</a> and get your very own collection of Burt’s Bees Lip Butters.

Suflet Frumos Cork Yoga Mat by ManaSurf</h4> <p>This yoga mat is unlike any other I have. The <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Suflet Frumos Cork Yoga Mat (opens in a new tab)" href="https://manasurfcompany.com/product/suflet-frumos-cork-mat/" target="_blank">Suflet Frumos Cork Yoga Mat</a> is high performance, versatile and eco-friendly.

I haven’t used it for hot yoga yet, but I’m told the grip improves when it gets a little wet. That will be super helpful when sweating your but off while in down-dog.

Aloha Lovely Yoga Leggings</h4> <p>Yoga leggings are everywhere. A staple in many women’s closets for both working out and as a wardrobe basic. I designed a couple of tropical floral print leggings and I may be partial, but I keep choosing them when stirring around in my bureau drawer. These full-length leggings are lightweight and have retained their vibrant print. I love that they are high-waisted and help keep everything securely in place. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> If you’re interested in getting some for yourself, stay tuned for fresh availability with our fall launch!</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator is-style-wide"> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. Train Dirty Wrist Wraps</h4> <p>I picked up a pair of these minimal <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="wrist wraps (opens in a new tab)" href="https://traindirtywraps.com/" target="_blank">wrist wraps</a> when I started to notice some pain in my wrists while in certain poses. They simply wrap around your wrists multiple times to give you just enough additional support. I use them during CrossFit as well and they’ve held up pretty great. They have a ton of fun patterns to choose from, really something for everyone. Check out these cute unicorn ones I got!</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/wrist-wraps-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3688" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></figure> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">4. Victoria’s Secret Sports Bra</h4> <p>So, I wear things until they pretty much fall apart. And I love when I find items that can stand the test of my heavy use and love. I’ve had great experience with a variety of Victoria’s Secret’s line of sports bras, so good in fact that the ones I still wear aren’t available anymore. So I thought I would share <a href="https://www.victoriassecret.com/vs/sport-catalog/victoria-sport-logo-strappy-sport-bra-29b472bb-0273-482c-9128-d51b5e1c7fd9?rrec=true&crossSellType=personalization&crossSellReferrerPageCategoryId=VS%7CBRAS%7CSPORTS-BRAS&genericId=11142242&choice=01W3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="one (opens in a new tab)">one</a> that I am currently eyeing that are close in design to what I have.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://www.victoriassecret.com/vs/sport-catalog/victoria-sport-logo-strappy-sport-bra-29b472bb-0273-482c-9128-d51b5e1c7fd9?rrec=true&crossSellType=personalization&crossSellReferrerPageCategoryId=VS%7CBRAS%7CSPORTS-BRAS&genericId=11142242&choice=01W3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1010" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Screen-Shot-2019-06-25-at-5.29.37-AM.png" alt="Victoria's Secret Sport Bra" class="wp-image-3684" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></a></figure> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">5. Target Any Day Tanks</h4> <p>I really love these <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="simple tanks (opens in a new tab)" href="http://goto.target.com/v9V3N" target="_blank">simple tanks</a> I found at Target recently. I personally don’t think workout gear needs to be fancy or expensive, especially something as simple as a tank top. These are lightweight, stretchy and come in basics colors that will go with absolutely everything. They’re perfect to layer and stay put throughout your practice. And they’re only $8. Win.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="966" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Screen-Shot-2019-06-25-at-4.50.44-AM-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3686" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></figure> <p>So there you have it.

Your body actually needs more nutrients, not less. So choosing a cleanse that combines juices with light plant-based foods and protein will help support your body with both the nutrients and energy required to properly cleanse and detoxify. Makes sense to me.</p> <p><a href="https://www.livebeaming.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Beaming (opens in a new tab)">Beaming</a> believes cleansing should be enjoyable (yes!). And they’ve partnered with some of the top holistic and raw food chefs to create both delicious and effective programs. Each program offers a menu of cold-pressed artisan juices, superfood smoothies, soups, salads, superfood elixirs <g class="gr_ gr_6 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="6" data-gr-id="6">and</g> snacks.

I’m in Hawaii and there was no problem getting my cleanse shipped. The cleanse is separated by day, in insulated bags with these awesome little cooler packs. Mine was still chilled after its adventure over the Pacific!</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">My First Cleanse</h4> <p>My cleanse arrived on a Friday afternoon, so I started it on Saturday morning. I would be doing the cleanse for 3 days, finishing up Monday evening. Within the large box that arrived was three cute black cooler bags broken down by day. Here is a look at what comes in one day pack.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/beaming-day-2-sm-1024x1024.jpg" alt="Beaming Lifestyle Cleanse" class="wp-image-3337" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></figure> <p>Each item is numbered in a suggested order of consuming. I stuck to the recommended order for the most part but you can vary as you see fit. Every day is packaged in a similar way, with some variation of juices, smoothies, and salads. Nothing lacks in flavor, let me make that clear! I had my favorites from each day, but overall I liked the menu.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/powershot-2-sm-1024x1024.jpg" alt="Vitality Power Shot Beaming" class="wp-image-3338" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></figure> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">What I Loved</h4> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>I never felt hungry throughout the cleanse. It is designed for you to eat or drink something every couple of hours and what was provided was more than enough.</li><li>It’s not the kind of cleanse that makes you run to the bathroom every 5 minutes. This is a good thing!</li><li>I was energized! Even without my morning coffee, I powered though the weekend with ease.</li><li>My favorite items were the Vanilla Smoothies, the Zucchini Soup, the Protein Bites, the Chopped Salad <g class="gr_ gr_19 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="19" data-gr-id="19">and</g> the Radiance Juice. Yum!</li></ul> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">What Could be Better</h4> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>I wish that you could completely customize your cleanse. I believe they can accommodate special dietary restrictions like allergies, but I don’t think you can pick and choose what you want. And I would <g class="gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="5" data-gr-id="5">infact</g> pay more to be able to customize to my personal tastes.</li></ul> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/charcoal-lemon-2-sm-1-1024x1024.jpg" alt="Beaming Cleanse Charcoal Lemonade" class="wp-image-3355" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></figure> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Tips</h4> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Gradually reduce your caffeine intake the week before your cleanse. They actually advise you to do this but I didn’t listen. I ended up getting a massive headache on the first day. Although the husband thinks I had a sinus headache, I’m pretty convinced it was due to lack of coffee.</li><li>Reduce your sugar intake as well. Just like coffee, going cold-turkey usually sucks.</li><li>Maybe don’t plan a dinner out with friends while you’re on the cleanse. Ha! Seriously, we went out for my husband’s birthday and it was slightly depressing to watch everyone else indulge. At least everyone else got a good laugh at my expense <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> But hey, I’m cool with that!</li></ul> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Results</h4> <p>After my 3-Day <a href="https://www.livebeaming.com/products/lifestyle-cleanse/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Beaming Lifestyle Cleanse (opens in a new tab)">Beaming Lifestyle Cleanse</a> I gotta say I felt pretty damn great! Did I have my morning cup of coffee on Tuesday morning? Hell <g class="gr_ gr_21 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="21" data-gr-id="21">yes</g> I did. But was I able to eliminate my desire for an afternoon cup? Yes again.</p> <p>A big part of an organic plant-based food cleanse is helping you to reset and get on a better every-day wellness path. This kind of cleanse is not about losing a quick couple of pounds or fitting in a smaller size. It’s about gaining an awareness of what you are putting in your body so you can maintain healthier habits long-term to see greater advantages to your overall health. </p> <p>Have you every tried a cleanse?

Cleansers, moisturizers, exfoliators, tighteners the list goes on and on for all the different kinds of products that focus on a multitude of individual skin issues. One type of product that should be a must within your skincare collection is one that focus on your pores.

Cleansers, moisturizers, exfoliators, tighteners the list goes on and on for all the different kinds of products that focus on a multitude of individual skin issues.</p> <p>One type of product that should be a must within your skincare collection is one that <g class="gr_ gr_11 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" id="11" data-gr-id="11">focus</g> on your pores. After all, when it comes down to your skin, your pores are the answer to your facial equation. And when you are able to keep your pores clean and clear, you can avoid pore blockage that can quickly turn into blemishes and breakouts. Nobody wants that.</p> <p>This is why I am taking my skincare to the next level and using <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://ooh.li/c2d8ffd" target="_blank">Bioré Witch Hazel Deep Cleansing Pore Strips</a> and <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://ooh.li/93254c8" target="_blank">Bioré® Witch Hazel Pore Clarifying Toner</a> as a part of my routine. Because this girl isn’t getting any younger and the last thing I need is a breakout!</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Why Witch Hazel?</h4> <p>Did you know that witch hazel is known for its astringent properties and its ability to tighten pores? This natural ingredient will purify, refresh and help heal skin. So it makes perfect sense that it would be a featured ingredient in both the <a href="https://ooh.li/c2d8ffd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">Deep Cleansing Pore Strips</a> and <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://ooh.li/93254c8" target="_blank">Pore Clarifying Toner.</a></p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://ooh.li/93254c8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">Bioré® Witch Hazel Pore Clarifying Toner</a></h4> <p>I’ve found this toner to be a great final step to my morning and evening cleansing routine. I will use a cleanser to rid my skin of oil, dirt <g class="gr_ gr_8 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="8" data-gr-id="8">and</g> makeup and then use <a href="https://ooh.li/93254c8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">Bioré® Witch Hazel Pore Clarifying Toner</a> to remove anything else I may have been missed, to include possible residue left by a cleanser.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://ooh.li/c2d8ffd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/toner-sm-1024x1024.jpg" alt="Biore Witch Hazel Pore Clarifying Toner" class="wp-image-3277" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></a></figure> <p>This lightweight toner with witch hazel helps restore my skin’s balance. While the Witch Hazel is known to tighten pores, the salicylic acid helps to control oil and treat blemishes. And I just love that cool and refreshing feeling it leaves on my skin!</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://ooh.li/c2d8ffd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">Bioré Witch Hazel Deep Cleansing Pore Strips</a></h4> <p>Sometimes your pores need just a bit more help than a cleanser and toner can alone provide. This is when I bring in <a href="https://ooh.li/c2d8ffd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">Bioré Witch Hazel Deep Cleansing Pore Strips</a> to really give any clogged pores a deep clean. Also formulated with Witch Hazel, these strips deep clean, remove blackheads, refine pores, and help prevent future breakouts.

She is now not only raiding my closet, but also my vanity! When will it end?!! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p> <p>Wondering how easy it is to use these strips?

And having a mix of different activities, will give you more ability to love your workouts.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">CrossFit</h4> <p>My husband and I joined a CrossFit box over two years ago. We found a box that offered a fundamentals class so we could learn the proper form for all the basic moves and lifts associated with CrossFit. We got a deal on Groupon for the 6-week class that met twice a week for an hour and figured we could join the box after if we liked it.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/cf-2-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3244" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></figure> <p>If you have never done CrossFit before it can be a bit intimidating to start. But if you join a fundamentals class you are basically with a group of people that are in the same boat. Everyone is learning so its a good way to ease into the sport.</p> <p>After we finished the fundamentals class we signed up for memberships to the box. I am currently the strongest I have ever been physically and might even say I am in the best shape I have ever been in. Thank you CrossFit. </p> <p><strong>Why I love CrossFit:</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>My husband and I can work out together. All you have to do is scale weight or specific moves to fit each person’s strength and capabilities. It’s fun to workout together, <g class="gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="5" data-gr-id="5">quality</g> time right?</li><li>I love feeling strong! Seriously, strong is sexy in my opinion.</li><li>Quick results if you commit.</li></ul> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Running</h4> <p>Running has been a part of my life ever since I started playing soccer as a child. It’s been an on-again-off-again relationship I have maintained, but over the past couple of years have become even more committed to.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" src="https://alohalovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/running-2-2-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3243" style="display:block;margin:10px auto;max-width:560px;max-width:100%;"></figure> <p>I usually run in the early mornings before work and take my pup along with me. I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback, which is a breed that really needs daily exercise. So he is a big motivator to get me out there each morning. When I skip a run, I feel guilty because I am forcing him to skip a run as well. </p> <p><strong>Why I love running:</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>It’s like therapy. I throw my headphones on and I am able to either just jam to my music or turn it down a bit and fall deep into my own thoughts. No one is there to bother you, its all about you.</li><li>I love the sweat. Might <g class="gr_ gr_92 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" id="92" data-gr-id="92">sounds</g> gross, but I love the cleansing feeling I get from a good sweat after a run. Same applies to CrossFit I guess. Just <g class="gr_ gr_143 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="143" data-gr-id="143">sweat</g> it out!</li></ul> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Yoga</h4> <p>Yoga is another activity that I have done on and off over the years but have struggled to find the right type of yoga for me. At this point, I am pretty convinced that power yoga is my favorite and it needs to be at a certain pace to keep my interest. I’ve done classes in person and online, and have found that I prefer the convenience of online sessions.</p> <p>There are a lot of options out there, both free and paid. One of my current favorites happens to be a free 30-min power yoga session hosted by POPSUGAR Fitness. Check it out!</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe loading="lazy" width="1140" height="641" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/S9p5yhE6_fk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure> <p><strong>Why I love Yoga:</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Yoga for me is about building both strength and flexibility. It’s a nice compliment to CrossFit as far as building muscle and tone.</li><li>Like running, yoga has a certain kind of therapeutic benefit. Stretching, breathing, holding poses all help calm me down.</li></ul> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Love Your Workouts</h4> <p>I think its all about trying to identify what you might genuinely enjoy (your fitness personality) and mixing things up until you find the right activity or combination of activities. If you are having fun working out, you are more likely to stick with it and in turn, see the results you want.</p> <p>If you’ve found your fitness groove, what is your mix? I’d love to hear about how much you love your workouts in the comments. Aloha!</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Craving more wellness posts?
