Working out in the morning is the best way to ensure that you'll actually get a workout in, but getting into the routine of swapping your PJ's for running shoes is a tough one. Over the years, I've developed some tried and true techniques that help me get out of bed (even when it's snowing outside-gasp!) and get to the gym. These 5 tips will help you become the morning workout person you've always wanted to be- let's do this!

There are a million reasons why you should be drinking more water, but it's not always easy! My favorite motivators to sip more H2O are the fact that it makes your skin look SO much better (especially if you're starting to get fine lines) and it can curb your appetite if you're drinking a sufficient amount. While drinking more water might increase your trips to the restroom, it will also increase the total steps you take in a day, so what are you waiting for?! Here are 8 easy ways to help you drink more water and stay hydrated every day!

FRIDAY FAVORITES: CUTE RUNNING SHOES!
Last week I had a "OH CRAP it's almost summer and where is my summer bod?!" moment, so I have kicked my workouts into high gear in preparation for the beach! One thing that is guaranteed to encourage trips to the gym is cute shoes. The floral print Nike Roshe's were a gift from Mr. Jones last summer and aren't available anymore, but I found SO MANY cute pairs while shopping for you guys! Which ones are your favorite?! I've always been a Nike girl, but I'm seriously crushing on these Adidas from ASOS!
Happy Friday and happy shopping!

BURN SERIOUS CALORIES AND GET THINGS DONE SIMULTANEOUSLY!
What could be better than being able to workout at home, burn a lot of calories in a short amount of time, AND get some house or computer work done all at once?! I've been doing this workout every Monday and it will kick your booty, but being able to do the dishes or edit some blog photos while I'm working out is an A+ workout in my book. The dishes aren't going to do themselves after all, and a true girl boss has to be excellent at multi-tasking! Keep reading for more details of my High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout!

On most Saturday mornings I'm wearing workout clothes and running errands. For this reason, I try to find workout pieces that can work for both. Lululemon is always my go to for fun and fashionable gym apparel, I can't get enough of these pants!
Motivation Monday
Did you know that Memorial Day weekend is in 94 days? That means bikini season will be here before you know it. Even though you might be snowed in right now, it's time to get motivated! This will be my fourth week doing Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide, and I'm absolutely loving the workouts so far. The resistance workouts are tough, but in just three weeks I have noticed a big difference in muscle tone. If having three more months until the pool opens isn't motivating you to get to the gym, then maybe some cute workout clothes will do the trick. Check out my Pinterest page for more fashionable fitness gear and my summer style wish list!
Fashionably Fit
This week my mom and sister-in-law started a new workout created by Kayla Itsines. Even though we don't live in the same city, I couldn't be happier that we are all starting it at the same time. Doing this workout together makes us all accountable but to be honest, nothing motivates me to get into the gym more than cute activewear! I've created a whole board of fashionable fitness gear on my Pinterest page with plenty of reasons not to skip a workout. Check it out HERE and follow me on Pinterest for more Me & Mr. Jones fashion!
