Afraid you’re going to miss Monday’s episode of Gossip Girl? Have no fear!

With an intense workout thrown into the mix as well, it’s a perfect distraction to bump up the speed and feel better, instantly!
Tired of your workout music? This could keep anyone from getting in their car and heading to the gym. By mixing up your workout playlist, you can alternate upbeat songs with chill cool down tunes to shock your body into getting the ultimate butt-kicking. Not only does updating your iPod with the newest songs keep you interested but also maintains your motivation to be hip and fit by summertime. Who wouldn’t want to show off their newest bod while listening to the same Lady Gaga, Usher, and Christina Aguilera songs that will be blasted throughout the trendiest night clubs!

It’s that time of the month, and all you can focus on is your bloated belly and of course chocolate and lots of it. Bad Girl! Head to the gym! I think you’d be surprised to know that although a gnarly workout isn’t on your list of things to do, it can be one the best things for you. Not only does working out stabilize your mood but reduces your anxiety, anger, and depression. Bloated? Yet again, hitting the gym actually reduces your body’s excess water, making you -TA DA - bloat free. Finally, the devil of them all, cramps. By working out, your body releases endorphins amplifying the blood flow and relaxing those restricted muscles. Now you can be on your period and be guilt, cramp, and bloat free!
If your last excuse consists of the ever popular “I have nothing to wear,” no worries, now you can revitalize not only your workout but your wardrobe too! Did you know that your Next swimsuit can double as a hot workout outfit too? Having the right combination of your favorite Next by Athena Good Karma yoga pant, jacket, and tankini you can always adjust to your workout with essential layers. Afraid you’re stuck in the same style? Mix it up with a skort and fleeting underwire tankini top, new kicks, and a gym bag to match every ensemble.
