“Colors and patterns can put you in a good mood to

When you reach a goal, get a pair of sneakers, a workout
top or a pair of leggings you’re excited to fit into.”

No Sweat!
30-minute workout
No excuses: This quickie workout can be done with
a jump rope and body weight. “Try high-intensity
circuit training. It eliminates the intervals of rest.
Instead, jump rope to get your heart rate up,”
says Kira. “Focus on compound strength
movements that use more than one muscle
at a time, such as a squat, shoulder press then
overhead triceps extension. Follow with
a squat jump then a body-weight
exercise involving your core and
Nike 2.0 Speed
upper body, such as a push-up.”

Drink up
Hydration is
key to a good
workout. “Make
sure to get plenty
of liquids before
hitting the gym,”
says Kira. “It’s just
as important as
drinking water
during your
workout. If you’re
thirsty, then you
may already
be slightly
dehydrated.”

pick guilt-free snacks!
Food is fuel! “Before a workout, eat complex carbs to
keep your energy up. Try half an apple with almond
butter, or oatmeal,” says Kira. “Post-workout, have
something with more protein than carbs — the
opposite as before — with the proper nutrients
to rebuild the muscle fibers you tore down.”
