wait, what? how?! exercise increases blood circulation, allowing for nutrients to be delivered all over the body (skin included). it also carries away waste products, thereby improving your complexion. yet another benefit of exercise! :)
tips? obviously, use sunscreen if you’re outside. and after working out, take a shower to prevent your pores from clogging up.
extra info? a lot of people wonder which is better after a workout— a cold shower or a warm one? well, it’s really up to you!
cold showers/ice baths are commonly used by athletes to help reduce inflammation (swelling up) and prevent post-workout soreness. but… this isn’t advised for those who have high blood pressure or a heart condition, as the cold-induced constriction of blood vessels can raise your blood pressure and cause some problems.
warm showers are said to help the muscles to relax. but… if it gets too hot, the water can dry your skin out and deplete the skin’s natural oils.
A LOT of people alternate between cold and hold water in what is referred to as a contrast shower (example: alternating between 30 seconds of cold and 30 seconds of hot). this really does help improve recovery and reduce soreness. 

I stopped running for a week and my face broke out like crazy. It’s really true!

The R.I.P. Workout
Targets: Core/abs, biceps, triceps, shoulders
No it’s not called that because you’re gonna die. Well you’ll get close…BUT R.I.P. stands for “Rest in Plank”. You are not allowed to EVER get out of plank during this whole routine. Even when you’re “resting” between each move.
Try this routine 3x through. You are allowed to come into Child’s Pose after you finish one full circuit. 1 min max though. Then up again.
Here’s the Plank Arm Workout video which is very similar. If you need motivation, do it with me :)

After every off day is a new workout ready to be conquered, and a chance to get a little bit better.

True story! Especially when you’re active. I’m planning on going for a run in an hour so I just took 5 minutes to down 1.5 liters of water.
You must stay hydrated!
