I’m getting in slightly early with the 2018 fitness resolutions, I know Christmas is literally a few days away and I won’t accept anything less than “all the trimmings” but there really is no time like the present when it comes to health and fitness. I’ve found that the more I think about and plan my fitness routine to the point of borderline obsession, the more likely I’m going to stick to it! As I get older (oh you know what’s coming next is going to be clichéd), anyway, as each year flies by, diet and fitness has become of paramount importance. Not least because the combination of a healthy diet and consistent fitness contributes to good health and immune system – I’ve spent several weeks under the weather this year and I know I could help combat being poorly with exercise! Above all else, it’s becoming increasingly harder to maintain my figure! Just 3 or 4 short years ago I’d pay no mind to pizza and ramen all day every day because my weight never did fluctuate, but the biggest revelation of this year is that I can no longer keep up that junk food life…

HIKE
PHEW, can you see why I need to up my fitness game for 2018? Sure I’ve done a few hikes here and there and ran my first 5km in Tokyo, but I want to resolve to be unfaltering in a fitness routine for the New Year.
RUN
Now I’m pretty sure you can relate when I say that new gear is an effective motivator! I need to put those days of running in converses and £3 leggings from Forever 21 behind me and invest in pieces made from fabrics that I’m meant to sweat in! I’m fortunate that my apartment block has a clubhouse which includes a gym and some fitness equipment but the gym is small! Space comes at a premium in Hong Kong so think 4 machines and a fitness ball in a tiny square shaped room…
What I most
want to take advantage of however is our pool which is generously sized. I
moved to Hong Kong with just a bikini so if this isn’t the perfect excuse to
get some new swim gear I don’t know what is. The first brand that comes to mind
is obviously Speedo
swimwear. I wore this brand religiously at all of my swimming lessons through
primary and secondary school as a brand that is undisputed when it comes to swimwear.
Anyway, enough from me, what I really wanted to show you are the things I’ve
put into my basket for a life of running, swimming and hiking next year! I’m a
fitness amateur in every sense of the word amateur, so if there is anything
crucial to ensuring I don’t injure myself, or simply cause you found some cute
workout gear, please feel free to link in the comments below!
