Work Out

Target Activewear Promo

Posted on by thewexfordhousewife

With a New Year right around the corner we’re all starting to reflect on 2018, making our bucket lists for the upcoming year and creating resolutions.  At the beginning of last year I made the decision to live a healthier lifestyle.  Though I often skipped breakfast & over poured my red wine at dinner, I did keep up with my gym routine. 

Having the right workout attire makes all difference.  I’ve found that when I look good, I feel good and I push myself a little bit harder!  My favorite places to find stylish & breathable athletic wear is Marshalls, Old Navy & Target.  Now through January 5th when you spend $40 on activewear at Target you get a $10 gift card!!!

Today I’m sharing with you guys some of my favorite Target must-haves for the New Year like these comfy sneakers by C9 Champion.  With their Flexfoam inserts and lightweight body these sneakers are great for hitting the gym then running errands.  They’ve quickly become my new go-to shoe of choice!

I also cannot get enough of  high-waist leggings like the ones below.  From playful colors & prints, to functional pockets & breathable fabrications Target has options for every woman.

Don’t forget the promo only lasts till January 5th so get shopping!

As always comfortable & effortless housewife style xoxx

Gym Style Goals

Posted on by thewexfordhousewife

Though I wish I could make it to the gym everyday, it’s just unrealistic.  Between playdates, trips to the museum, working part-time and trying to keep my house in (somewhat) order, going to the gym always sits on the back burner.  With that being said, I am starting to make an effort and am slowly getting my son use to the daycare provided.

However, my New Year’s Resolution isn’t to get back to the gym, but to be stylish when I actually make it there.  I recently came across some fantastic new workout gear at Marshalls!  Each piece was only $16.99.  I love fashion on a dime!!!

If these sheer cutouts aren’t motivation to hit the gym, then I don’t know what is!

Working out without a gym

Posted on by thewexfordhousewife

Getting a good workout in with a one year old seemed nearly impossible to me. I tried using the daycare provided by the gym, but my son kept getting sick from all the unwashed, germ-infested toys he was putting in his mouth. So to avoid sleepless nights taking care of a sick child I decided to take advantage of our daily routine instead.

The babe and I love going for walks around the neighborhood; we try to go for a walk at least once a day! To get the most out of our walks I do what I like to call ‘stroller-push outs’ going up each hill, mind you our neighborhood is very hilly. I extend my arms and push the stroller away from myself and then bring it back as if I were doing push-ups on the ground. I do this as many times as I can as I walk up each hill. It may sound silly but by the end of our walk I feel the burn in my legs, butt, arms & shoulders…that’s what I call a good, easy work out!

Including the babe into my workouts is easy & fun.  I  chase him around the house while doing lunges or we do super-baby sit ups together; he thinks he’s flying and I’m working my core!
Staying fit while having fun & spending time with my little man…that’s what life is all about!
