MNB February Challenge! Lets get the ball rolling...

So this month or should I say this year, with the inspiration of my Lorna Jane MNB diary I have made a commitment to live the Lorna Jane active living motto and move nourish and believe! the February comp sponsored by Fit Approach and Lorna Jane teaches us to move nourish and believe as each week of this month focuses closely on each of the three aspects.

Week one was focused on MOVE, so here's my recap via my instagram @happyhealthyspirit:

Monday: Sweat it out - Show us your favourite way to sweat! Being outdoors, breathing in fresh air and taking in breath taking views has such a calming and grounding feeling, making it easily my favourite way to sweat. Although, a lot of my workouts are at the gym I always make sure to fit in some time during my week getting some proper fresh air, so this is how I decided to start my Monday! 

Tuesday: Change it up - Sweat a new way! 

I used this link via the Lorna Jane MNB website which gave me lots of inspiration and ideas of new ways to move. I decided to try out yoga, which is something I've always been curious to try so cheers to this challenge for giving me that push. Thoroughly enjoyed and actually looking to find some beginner classes in my hometown this year - Embracing change is actually one of my mottos for 2014! I'm starting at university this year after a gap year of just working and I've also had to face the challenges of a long distance relationship as my baby left for the US in January. Oh, and I recently decided to get a dramatic change in haircut too, embracing change is nothing to fear! :) 

Wednesday: Lets get planking - plank for 5mins today!

Ughh, what a killer haha! This actually used to be my favourite fitness move in highschool, however not so much now!  Had to break up the 5mins into sets of 1 min throughout the day but I am keen to make this an ongoing challenge :)


Thursday: Buddy up - Workout with a friend today!

My usual workout buddies are either my bf (away) or my mum (who is taking a couple weeks out from the gym due to an leg operation) so I decided to go to my usual morning weights class which is a group session. Working in a group inspires me to work harder and have fun whilst doing it!


Friday: Show us your five fitness favourites!
- My MNB Lorna Jane Active living diary which got me drawn into this challenge in the first place!
- Nature! Like I said earlier, there is nothing more calming and grounding then working out amongst its beauty.
- Hydration. I'm equally in love with my morning green smoothies and water.
- Dr Libby books. These books are my go to for keeping me on track and inspired on my health journey.
- Music! When it comes to working out nothing pushes me harder than a pumping track. It actually got me through the last leg of my run on Sunday! Thank you Beyonce!!

What a great week it has been, 

Next week pushes us to get creative in the kitchen whilst learning to NOURISH our bodies!
