Good Morning my Smart is Sexy loves,

This week with spring being in the air I wanted to venture out and tackle our first fitness health post since, well, we all know… the hotter it gets the less we wear! Who are we kidding! Definitely not the Smart is Sexy crowd, so to kick start our bods into beach-side shape I’ve enlisted the help of one of our readers, Liz, a Penn State graduate herself who has been personal training for several years now in Los Angeles. With her background and expertise I wanted to highlight the foundation that makes for a smart workout – not only the basic BUT key positions that should be regularly incorporate into a workout but the importance of your mental approach to working out on a day by day basis. Read and see what Liz has got for you..

Hello My Smart is Sexy Loves,

I’ve missed you! I’ve been so busy moving recently but I haven’t forgotten about you! I finally got a chance to ride the metro that the city of Los Angeles worked so hard to build and I have to say I definitely liked it! It’s funny though, as an Angeleno our public transportation has always been like looking for your soulmate in vegas and our traffic like that friend that just doesn’t get the hint, that we approach something like the metro in a relatively excited way (whaaaaaat I don’t have to drive?!).  My friends and I took the metro to downtown for dinner where it can be a pain to park so it made the ride so carefree! On the ride over the topic in conversation became about our generation, the millennials — our desire to see more, do more, and become more I believe has defined our generation. But where does that put us? Are we super selfies or super accomplishers or superheroes in our own ways….perhaps all, perhaps none. Damn. One thing is true, success drives every human being to keep going. Beg to differ, comment below– I would love to hear your thoughts!
