Types of exercise

In continuation of this "Make yourself feel better" series, today I have for you some exercises that will not only make you feel better, after you've done them, but also help you stay fit (advisory: might not work for everyone. As I said last week I'm not a professional in this area.)

The first thing to remember is that the routine of exercises has to be scheduled because otherwise you might fail on exercising regularly. Choose how often you want to exercise. For example, if you want to do it 3 days a week maybe try to alternate the days. It would be something like this:
-Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays: exercise
-Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays: no exercise

The next thing is how much time: If you want to workout 3 days in a week, do about 45min to 1 hour each day. If you exercise more times a week, do less time: if you workout 5 times a week do about 30min each day. This way you won't over-exercise because if you did you'd feel really tired at the end of the week.

Finally the types of exercise you can do. Keep in mind, alternating exercises is good but if you can't do something don't push yourself, take your time. If you train hard one day you might be able to do all the exercises. 
-walking, jogging or running (start with walking and slowly upgrade the speed)
-sign up into a gym. ask for a plan designed for you (if you don't have the money it's okay, there's other ways)
-go for a jog, every 10 minutes run faster for 1 to 2 minutes OR jog and alternate with sprints (I read it increases the metabolism)
-choose an up beat song or multiple songs and dance; it's fun and you don't have to leave the house

Tomorrow I will post a list of foods you can and can't eat when trying to lose weight or just if you want to eat healthier. (Once again I'm not a professinal in this area; all of this is based on my personal experiences)

Thanks for reading! I will talk to you tomorrow :) B-bye!!

Change Your Life - Lists

Last week the post was about how to create an exercise routine so this week is gonna be about the types of exercise you can do and the types of food you should and should avoid.

(...)
 Now that you know how to create a schedule it's time to create the lists. I have plenty of them but the 3 that I find are the most important ones are:
-types of exercises
-foods you should avoid eating often
-quotes/phrases that will help you staying focused and not giving up

I'm not a professional nutricionist or something like that but I will create the first two lists and I will post them for anyone who wants. The 3rd list will also have its own post but that you can find anywhere. If you want one right away go on Tumblr and search for quotes, write them on a piece of paper and keep that list in a place you look at often. It will boost your confidence and willing power everytime you read it.

Next week's post is going to be about the types of exercise you can do to stay fit. The post about the foods you should or shouldn't eat is going up on sunday and the post about the quotes or phrases is probably going up the following weekend (not sure yet).

Thanks for reading! I hope this was somehow helpful and if you have any requests just comment below or tweet me (@Carolina_Rosa16). Talk to you next week. B-bye!! ;)

Change Your Life - Exercising

Do you want to have a better life, start living a healthy lifestyle and be happy with the way you are inside and out? If so this is the post that will encourage you. But keep one thing in mind: this is just a bunch of words online, they're not a miracle. You have to gain the courage and willing power for yourself. Shall we start?...

The first thing I think it's important and will most definitely help you is to plan things. Having a detailed schedule and a list or more will save you time and you'll have more control in this first phase of your life change. One note: Starting is not easy at all! You'll think it's gonna be really easy but, unless you have a strong and huge willing power, it won't. So keep this in mind: Don't give up, keep going even if you don't feel like doing it anymore. You'll regret the choice of giving up.
Doing a schedule is not hard. If you're in school or you have a job, or both, make sure that working out does not interfere with that. Schedule some time to go for a jod or do some home exercising, or go to the gym if you can or when you don't have anything to do.
For example: myself. I'm still studying and as I have all my classes at morning time I scheduled my working out routine to the afternoons. My week is basically planned like this:
-Go to school;
-Come home from school;
-Have lunch and rest a little;
-Do my homework/study for tests (for as long as I need);
-Have a little snack and then do some home exercising or go for an afternoon job.

Try to do this at least # times a week.

Role Models - Part 2

Taylor Swift, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock have been a part of my life for a little more than 2 years.

Taylor Swift is out of the 8 girls the one I relate to the least but I love her as much as I love the others!! She has thought me never to care about what others think, specially when it comes to love.
People talk absolute crap about her and say she's a b*tch because she dates this or this guy to write songs. Yeah, she dated them... so what?! She has the right to do it and she has the right to write lyrics for her songs too. You may say she dates the guys just to make good songs... I think you're just JEALOUS AS HELL!!! I feel and I know that she dates the guys cuz she's trying to find love... eventually they'll break up because he, she or both of them knew it wasn't gonna work anymore. Most of the times she's hurt, because love is a painful thing and she writes songs to express her feelings.
And this is the reason I love her and the reason I respect her... she has a good way to turn something that is negative for her into a positive thing for her fans!!

The Little Mix girls are my favorite girl band and 4 of my favorite people in the world. They're like big sisters (once again) who said to me never to give up on my dreams and to embrace every moment as if it will be the last. When they entered The X Factor UK they made history by being the first ever group to win the show! That inspired me and everytime people talk about them it's like they're talking about me. I feel very emotional when watching Little Mix's videos, photos, listening to their songs because deep down I want to be like them. I want to enter The X Factor UK, be put in a girl band and maybe even win the show. It's a recent dream but it's very important to me!!
Individually they do and say things that kinda are parts of the perfect big sister, they complete each other and they complete me! :)

Jade is absolutely gorgeous, amazing and very cute! She's like the baby of the group tho she's not the youngest one. She thought me never to give up on anything I want. If I fail I must get back on my feet and try harder the following times till I get to the place I want! She went to X Factor 2 times before she finally made it and look where she is right now!!

Perrie is oddly cute! Even though she burps, farts eats a lot, does animal impressions, she's perfect. Those things make her perfect and so amazingly beautiful!!! I relate a lot to her because my personality is very similar to her's... the things she does, the way she dresses, the way she is... is so like me, I love it!! :)

Jesy is my girl crush out of the 4! She is absolutely beautiful, amazing, perfect, gorgeous. Her face, her hair, her clothes, her eyes, her voice, her body, her personality, her laugh... Everything about her is pure perfection.
I can also relate a lot to her because of body image issues. I find that she's now in a healthy and happy place and state of mind, so I feel really proud, I'm ver happy for her and I'd like to find myself in that same place and state of mind some day!!

Leigh-Anne, last but not least, is the funny one. She is obviously beautiful and she has a really cool style and that hair... OMG, the hair is perfect! But it's her fun and out going personality that makes me feel happy everytime I think about her.
If I was having a bad day I'd like to have her with me because I know for sure that she would brighten up my day with all her jokes and funny accents. She's my little Leigh and I love her to bits!! <3 <3

The 4 of them are like soul mates of mine!! I love them till the end of the world, till the moon and back, across the Universe!

Basically these are my 8 big sisters! They're the people who teach me new things about life almost everyday and even though I don't know them personally it's like they have always been a part of my life!

That's it for now, sorry for the long two part post but it's the way I feel and I had to express it with every word I could.
Thank you very much and I'll talk to you next weekend! Bye!! :) <3

(If you want to comment below saying me who are your inspirations I'd be happy to read it!)
