How To Build A Fitness Routine From Scratch
Are you having trouble figuring out how to start your fitness journey? Are you struggling to follow an exercise plan? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many of us struggle to get started despite having tons of motivation.
On a daily basis, we have lots of responsibilities to juggle, and because of that, we often forget to make time for ourselves to work out. Having a solid fitness routine in your life can make things much easier for you, though. But how are you supposed to choose a perfect fitness plan for yourself when there are lots to choose from? Well, let’s talk about how to build a fitness routine from scratch as a beginner.

We wanted to know where this motivation came from, so when we got the chance to ask him a few questions, we dove right in.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
Looking for an alternative to your typical cheat day snacks? You may want to give PeaTos a try! Packed with 4g of protein and less than 150 calories per bag, these chips are the epitome of guilt-free indulgence. Not only are they 100% plant-based and non-GMO, but they also boast a clean ingredient list, free from artificial flavors, synthetic colors, and MSG.
We always keep a few bags stashed away at the office and, when rating how these stack up to similar brands, came to a consensus rating of 7/10. While they may not be our absolute favorite, we find ourselves grabbing a bag of them time and time again.
