Fitness Glo: Redefining the modern workout
February 20, 2013 in Exercise, The Healthy Latina
A workout can be done at any place, at any time and at any level of comfort. It’s easy to forget this with our busy, hectic lives but it is true. Workouts can be done alone, with a partner or with la familia. The most important thing is to keep moving and keep making progress. Finding ways to make life more simple in the fitness aspect while still challenging your body is possible. In this digital age, there is a website for everything; even a virtual gym.
FitnessGlo
The online fitness website FitnessGlo is simplistic; attend virtual fitness classes wherever you are, at any level, using the fitness equipment you already have. Facil, no? You can workout with a favorite trainer, choose the duration, schedule a class to attend and create a workout “playlist” to organize your videos. Although a membership to the website isn’t free, the cost is only $12 a month, much less than a typical monthly gym membership with the convenience to workout anywhere.
Login and get started
As a runner, I don’t particularly enjoy group classes. I like to do things on my own, but I love the aspect of having a coach. With FitnessGlo, I was able to customize workouts to fit areas I wanted to focus on during my own time. With Spring just around the corner, I created an Abs playlist to isolate my core and gain strength.
With all exercise programs, a good coach is essential to success. I need someone to hold me accountable and keep me motivated. Each coach has a variety of classes so you can choose your favorites and take classes that meet your needs, or you can mix and match and try them all. Picking workouts I wanted to do and creating playlists to incorporate multiple, quick classes let me be in charge of the workout and do exactly what I felt like doing.
Not quite a fitness model, but having a good time helps!

FitFluential LLC compensated me for this Campaign. All opinions are my own.
While my senior year leaves me feeling overworked and without enough time to fit in as much exercise as I’d like, my main goal is to make the fitness I do get in fun and creative! I’ve taken up a regular tap class and attend disco and funk nights at a bar downtown pretty regularly, and in these ways dancing is my fitness!
I am training to compete in an Ironman competition because I promised my mum that I would complete in one with her. It’s tough – and I’ve got a LONG way to go.

Thank you for the review – So interesting!
My fitness goal this year has been trying to find time for fitness! I’ve been feeling so stressed with work that when I get home all I want to do is eat and sleep (did i mention EAT). Working out at home is hard to do without a coach and I always feel like I’m doing the moves wrong. I would love the chance to try a fun, simple, and time efficient way to get my workouts in each day to help cope with the stress and help me to feel better about myself!
P.S. I love this blog! You are an inspiration to all the honorary latinas out there!

I am doing me best to gain back my fitness! I’m joined a gym and have come up with a work out plan. I’ve also tried to adopt a new diet in order to feel better about myself. Lets hope this works!!
I’m going to lose 45 pounds before the beginning of next semester. It’s pretty tough, considering I lost it before and gained it back because of life happening, but I’m going to lose it and keep it off this time.
