All workout spaces matter. 💪🏽 . Whether it’s at the gym, at home, in a studio, at a park, in an Airbnb/hotel or a parking lot, when you are committed to your “where”, it doesn’t matter - as long as it gets you steps closer to your “why”! . Personally, I like to switch things up to keep it SPICY! I typically alternate between working out at home, the outdoors, a local fitness studio, or Airbnb/hotel. It all depends on my schedule. HOME - This is my go-to workout space. It it is convenient and works for my busy schedule (especially on the weekdays). OUTDOORS - If the weather is nice, I will take my workout to a local park or even go for a run. STUDIO - I love trying new classes to keep my body guessing. I will plan ahead to take a class near my job (or home) when my schedule permits AIRBNB/HOTEL - When I travel, I try to stick to my workout routine as much as possible. I usually do bodyweight workouts if it’s an Airbnb. And if I’m staying in a hotel with a gym...Gym Hooky takes her ass to the gym! Where do you like to workout? Share below! .

Exercise + a workout buddy = a powerful combo ✨ Yes, sweat it out with your spouse, your bestie, a colleague, a family member, or even the @toneitup team! WHY? There are so many benefits, boo! YOU’LL ENJOY YOUR WORKOUT MORE. Studies have shown that those who worked out with friends (or a spouse or co-worker) said they enjoyed the exercise more than those who got sweaty solo. It’s combining sweat time and social time...double the fun! YOU’LL PUSH YOURSELF HARDER. We all naturally have that competitive edge, so if your friend is going hard in that cycling class, you will too! YOU’LL QUIT QUITTING The chances of you not showing up to your workout when you’ve already made plans with you workout partner - is far less likely than if were doing it solo! Have a workout partner who keep you on your toes?

Let’s face it - running on the treadmill everyday can make you feel like a hamster. Yes, moving your legs but getting nowhere and staring at the same wall or window that never gets any closer. #sponsored #ad . I challenge you to break out of the indoor routine and explore the world at large! Exercising outdoors is a fun, cheap, and creative way to take your health to the next level. I personally love to make my way to a local high school to utilize the track and field. . Here are some pretty cool benefits of exercising outdoors: 1️⃣ Change of scenery 2️⃣ Get that Vitamin D 3️⃣ Sweat it Out 4️⃣ More Space 5️⃣ Mood Booster 6️⃣ Social Interaction 7️⃣ Saves Money 8️⃣ Boosts Creativity . Check out my latest blog post to get more details on each of the above (link in my bio!) . 📸 Stretching it out after a run in my @zappos @brooksrunning gear. 💪🏽🏃🏽‍♀️ . #zapposstyle #brooksrunning #gymhooky #runnersofinstagram #runningshoes #running (at San Mateo High School)

Hydrate your body in the AM. . Try it tomorrow. Drink 20 sips of water as soon as you wake up in the morning. Not over the course of the morning. Not after breakfast. Not during your workout. RIGHT WHEN YOU WAKE UP! If you have to, prep a glass of water the night before and put it next to you, so you can sit-up and sip in the morning 💦 . Don't worry about measuring ounces or cups, just count 20 swallows. This will wake your body up from the inside out and kick-start your metabolism. Depending on how long you sleep at night, you probably go 6-8 hours without hydrating, so it's important to get that water in you right away! . Optional - Consider adding lemon to your water. It will not only help flush that digestive system, but will serve as an energy booster (great alternative for folks who are trying to decrease their daily coffee intake!) . #gymhooky #water #hydrate #hydration #healthyliving #healthychoices #morningmotivation #islaychallenge #drinkmorewater #cleanse (at San Mateo, California)

Buy comfy sneakers! . The quality of your sneakers can effect the quality of your workout! . I get it - you want to look fly when you work out. BUT you shouldn't buy kicks that hurt your feet! Comfort is a top priority - color and style is second. Your shoes should feel comfortable from the first step you take. . Tip 1 - Have a professional help you pick out the sneakers that will work best for your feet (Recommend stores like Finish Line, Foot Locker, etc. - even if you don't buy anything it's still good to know!) As much as I would like to recommend great sneakers, the reality is that all of our feet are different. There are various factors to consider, starting with arch support (High arched feet, medium arched feet and flat feet all need different support so that they will be properly aligned as you work out). The other is the type of activity you willing be doing in the sneakers. A sneaker is not just a sneaker! They were designed to support specific activities (are you cross training? Will you be running in mud? Do you attend cardio classes). . Tip 2. Go sneaker shopping in the evening—your feet swell during the day and stop in the late afternoon, so you want to shop when they're at their biggest. Also make sure the sneaks are a little roomy—enough so that you can wiggle your toes, but no more than that. . #gymhooky #fitness #exercise #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #fitspo #fitfluential #fitstagram #fitgirl #fitnessfreak #fitnessaddict #fitnessmodel #fitnesslifestyle #nike (at San Mateo, California)
