Five Favorites: Fat Girl Gets Fit

Five Favorites

Why yes, I am a hugely self-deprecating person. However did you guess?

One

Fitness Blender. They have every kind of workout imaginable from kickboxing to yoga/pilates to HIIT. I’m not enamored with their kickboxing one as I’m a taebo groupie (and have been for 10+ years) but I’m looking forward to trying some of their other ones out. Their website is here and their YouTube channel is here.

Two

MapMyRun. Given my foot injury and a few other medical things, my go-to cardio right now is walking. MapMyRun.Com is awesome because it allows me to track the course I walk and it will even keep track of things like my diet if I so choose.

Three

Athletic tape. My injury is not in a place covered by normal ankle supports or braces of any nature so I’ve been going the athletic tape route. It’s helped thus far and has also removed all the callouses and dead skin on that part of my foot.

Four

Saucony running shoes. I originally got them because I’m on my feet so much and they’re comfortable but they’ve also kept my feet happy and blister-free through all the walking/chasing Daniel/being peripatetic.

Five

My core ball. I don’t think I could actually do things like crunches or oblique twists lying down with the lower back issues I have as a result of the fibro. Doing them on a ball makes them manageable.

Go love up Mary Kate and the others.
