Step 1 : Paint in the color of your choice a piece of carboard (the larger piece you'll take, the most pictures you will be able to put on). I decided to go with this ombré red color because I thought it was definitely in the Christmas spirit. You can of course go with any color of your choice.

Step 2&3 : Purchase some fun Christmas washy tape (you can find some super rad ones here and here for really cheap prices) and tape these on the edges of your cardboard to create a frame.

Step 4 : Print out and cut out some cute Christmas pictures. You can find bunch of these by tracking the Christmas tag on Tumblr here or by taking a look at my We Heart It collection here I made especially for the occasion.

Step 5 : Display your pictures on your cardboard to see how you want them to be.

Step 6 : And last, tape down your picture with your cute washi tape !

To hang it up I simply used clothes pins but you can also bore two holes on the top edge of your cardboard and add a rope !

This is how it looks on my wall, I really love it and so do my friends, so you should definitly try this out and you'll get a bunch of compliments on it !

So the first thing which is probably the hardest and the one that requires the most efforts is the plank.

What I love about the plank is that it's making your hole body work !! I mean doing the plank 5 minutes per day is enough to work your abs, to tone your arms, your legs and your butt at the same time ! Don't forget to contract all of your muscles as you're doing the plank (I mean the stomach and the butt). The goal is to do a plank for 1 minute without putting your body down (if this makes any sense ?). I like to do it as I'm watching TV in the evening, this way I don't think about it and it's easier I think ☻.

The second thing is the laziest one ever, and I love the person who invented these : it's called the ankle weights.

These bad boys are some kind of bracelets that you attach to your ankles or to your wrist. The coolest thing about the ankle weights is that you basically don't need to make any special movement or workout, all you gotta do is just put them on and do your everyday stuffs, like tidy up your room, go out with friends... I like to fold the clean laundry after it came out from the washing machine with the wrist weights on, and I swear that it's quite hard ! All you basically gotta do is moving for about an hour with these on, on your ankles and after on your wrists and that's why it's just super hyper duper cool ☺ !

You can get them anywhere, and you can chose between different weights. I suggest you to start with the 2 pounds ones (if this exist, I mean I started with 1kg), and then once you'll get used to them, you'll change for 3 pounds...

The last thing is also super easy and it will make your legs and your butt look totally awesome : it's the stepper.

(this woman looks super motivated it's so fun ☺)

This is the best thing ever, because 1 hour of stepper is just like if you've been running for 30 minutes !!!!!! I like to do it as I'm studying or watching a movie, I do it for 30 minutes and it definitely changes my life ☺.  A stepper a little bit expensive (€50 in stores), I got mine at a flea market for €5, and I'm pretty sure that somebody in your family has one that he/she never use, so before buying one, just ask people around you !

This workout routine WORKS, and you'll start to see the difference very soon, specially with the plank which is totally awesome. I suggest you to make this routine 6 days per weeks.

So, let's resume :

5 minutes of plank

1 hour with the ankle weights on your ankles

1 hour with the ankle weights on your wrist

30 minutes of stepper

This is definitely no big deal, and I proved you that workout isn't hard and it doesn't requires this much efforts !

But never forget that having an amazing body is not the most important thing in life, and I wish that it will make you feel better in your body ♥.
