Erika's World

Hello! I workout every single day. I workout a little over an hour. I would never workout less than that. I mean this works well for me. The only time I would sweat it out for only 40 minutes if I would take an hour of lunch and work out during the time instead of eating. But no, I like it this way. As I have said before I only work out at home in my living room. I follow videos on youtube. There are all kinds of workout videos on youtube. I am sure that you you want to try it you will find something that suites you. My workout schedule is quite simple. I do yoga Monday through Wednesday and cardio (that focuses on the butt and thighs) Thursday through Sunday. It is not more complicated than that. But, I also do the plank everyday. the plank is good for overall body strength. I eight minutes of the plank everyday. Two minutes, rest for a few seconds and repeat four times. Try that everyday and you will notice significant changes. Have a nice Tuesday night! your writer, Erika

Hello! Tonight I am going to bring up the big old question cardio vs strenght workout? What burns the most calories? Which one is just better/ will give you better results? To answer the last question, I have to say that really depends on what your goal is. This is so individual! Personally I think a combination of both is the best. If you want a lot of muscle the strenght workout is the one for you. If you want to be the next Usain Bolt the cardio is what you should focus more on. Again so individual! I do a combination of both. My cardio routine is a mix if cardio and a strenght workout. Even my yoga routine as some strenght exircises. The question that I can more easily answer for you is: Which one burn the most calories?! The answer is both actually. Cardio burn the most calories during a session and strenght will help your body burn more calories after a session (meaning when you for example just laying on the couch doing absolutely nothing). Since strenght workout will help...

This snow chaos has inspired me to make a post about fun winter activities. Because snow does not have to mean the end of the world even if it's not your favorite weather. When I was younger I actually took ice-skating lessons. Sadly I never stuck with it so I never learned any cool figure-skating tricks. I do remember that I got a diploma at the end of the year. Picking up a sport is a really good thing because you're working out without really thinking about. The most important thing is to pick a sport that you have fun while doing it. Otherwise what's the point, right? 1) ICE-SKATING  I think that I was around 5 or 6 when I started taking ice-skating lessons. I was really excited about because I had begged my parents about it. Then it wasn't was fun as thought. It was something I "had to do". So instead of going every week I started going every other week. I really wish that I would have had stuck with it. Ice-skating is a very good cardio exercise.  ...

Hello! I have been up and doing stuff all day that's why you're getting a late post. I went for a long walk/ jog this morning and after that I got home and worked out some more. I did a different butt and thigh exercise that involved some cardio. It was okay but you're supposed to use weights and I don't have any weights. It's still a good workout even if you don't have any weights but it is more effective if you use weights. Try it out for yourself! After I ate some lunch I went shopping. So you can say that I got a lot of cardio today. Hahaha. Any exercising is good exercising. But if you want to get the most of your workout you should really push your body. That's when things happen. Hahaha, I remember when I was younger there was this TV show called Gay Army . It was about a bunch of stereotypical gay men joining the army. I remember that there was this one guy who really didn't like working out. He said that the only exercise that he did was wal...

Hi everyone! I am at work right now but nothing is really happening at the moment so I am trying to fix stuff with the blog. It is hard. I want to add pages but I don't know how that works. So frustrating. It's Friday and I got paid today, so that's always a good thing. Got to stay positive, right? Do you guys have any special plans for the weekend? Other than working out I am going to buy some new workout clothes and look at two apartments. I really have no intentions of buying them because they cost a ton of money. I just really fell in love with them when I saw them online so I thought why not! I thought it could be a good visualistion for where I want to be. Surround yourself with things that inspire you to get where you want to be. Now I am just sitting here waiting for the clock to turn 11:30 which means that it's lunch time. Not that I am particualary hungry at the moment just bored. Hahaha. Plus I can take my walk, you know get that cardio in. I need to get be...

Hello! Right now I am just sitting on the couch think about I should do for my workout later. Should I go outside or stay inside? The thing is I don't have a gym membership, I always workout at home. I have a lot of space in my living room so I don't see any need to get a gym membership. Plus I like the exercises that I do. I like my yoga and everything I can do in my living room. I don't want to take classes with a bunch of other people. But if I did have a gym membership I'd probably take spinning classes and barre classes. I was thinking about start playing tennis. It's an over all good workout. Plus my favorite thing about is that it's a good general cardio workout. Or maybe badminton. Yeah, because I remember it being very fun when I used to play in school when I was younger. I always wanted to start playing it for real but that never happened. I don't think that I ever expressed that I wanted to either. I think that I wanted it like you want that shi...
