Find Your Fitness Muse

One step to motivating yourself to get in the best shape you can be finding your fitness muse. Like all women our age, it is easy to say our fitness muses are any of the Victoria's Secret Angels. Just looking at the famous VS Swim Catalog makes us not only crave for buying new bathing suits for summer, but makes us dream for those fabulous bods. Why not use that catalog to not only empty our wallets but motivate us to get us those model beach bods! The new and upcoming angel sweeping in store VS marketing and on almost over cover of a magazine is Candice Swanepoel, my fitness muse. Swanepoel always looks toned, whether she’s donning sexy swimwear or VSX exercise gear. She says, “For me, mixing workouts like boxing, jump rope, and basic ballet works best,” the South African-born Swanepoel says. “Boxing works my arms and core, ballet elongates my muscles, and jumping rope is a great way to warm up before any workout.” As good as she looks in a bikini, it’s only natural for Swanepoel to enjoy working out oceanside too: “My favorite exercise is something that doesn’t feel like I’m exercising at all, such as swimming in the ocean or playing paddle ball,” she says, adding that she sticks to a healthy diet of organic foods and lots of fruits and veggies.

 

Many might say wanting to look like someone else may be detrimental to one's self esteem. However, I believe aspiring to have the work out ethic and healthy lifestyle as someone like Candace who's career is talking pictures in barely any clothing is only motivation. So why not look up to someone lives a healthy lifestyle?

So who is your fitness muse? Is it a VS model or perhaps an Olympic athlete? Either way, we all must be comfortable in our skin, but it always nice to have a fitness muse to give us that extra push to be better! 

So if Candace wasn't enough motivation for the week to get to the gym or at least eat healthy this week, here is so motivation to get you moving getting closer to the end of the semester!
