YourGymGF App Provides Support for Working Out



Working out takes a village, you need a cheer squad. Before there was social media, you had to call your friends and cheer them on or all work out together. Some people are new to their area and they don’t have work out buddies. They can feel pretty isolated when it comes to working out. When you feel isolated you can give up pretty easily. Thankfully, we can virtually work out with our friends and family all over the world through social media and apps. There is a brand new fitness/lifestyle app for iPhone and Android called YourGymGF, which is ultimately a social network for women that are looking for new ideas on diets, workout plans and ultimately lifestyle changes, as well as motivation/support. The app allows users to stay involved with other users within the community. It sounds amazing especially if you share healthy recipes with your friends. The app is totally free. It is like your very own support system and brainstorming app for all things fitness and being healthy.  It’s also a great Kickstarter campaign you can consider donating to. Every little bit helps. They are trying to add a really cool feature and they need a little help reaching their goal. The new feature would help you by notifying you of new things and lets you notify others of things you want to share with them. 

We all are pretty busy, so we don’t always check in on our apps as much as we would like. Some of us juggle work and parenthood and everything in between.   

If you would like to donate you can do so on the YourGymGF Kickstarter Page

You should also follow YourGymGF on Facebook!

Remember that the app is totally free and fun too!
You can find the app in both iTunes and Android.


Now you have no excuse not to become healthier and support your rockin’ friends along the way.

Connect 2 Happiness with GaiamTV in 2013



I want to share with you what happiness means to me. It means spending time with my family and friends. Even if I can’t physically be with them, just talking to them makes me happy. My happy place would probably be the beach on a hot day with my son watching him play in the sand or us in the water.  I haven’t always been the most positive person in the past but I am really trying to think happy thoughts. A good way to help me remember to be happy is to use tools to encourage myself to watch videos and learn from others. There is a service called GaiamTV that you can stream videos that encourage you on your path to happiness and health.  Gaiam TV is the first streaming video subscription service designed to reach those interested in health and happiness. With over 2,000 titles, Gaiam TV is like Netflix for the mind, body and spirit!


 Gaiam has started The Connect 2 Happiness Challenge. It is January and the start of a new year. You can make 2013 the best year by participating in the GaiamTV challenge. I watched the video Happy For No Reason and it taught me that I can be happy without having a reason I don’t have to have something happen to be happy. A lot of times we look to other things to make us happy, a raise at work, getting something new but really you can just be and be happy.  I think that I can find happiness in any situation and that it is my attitude that really controls my happiness and that I am control of it. I definitely feel that this will help enrich my life and I will start making sometime to practice what I learn. I will also share these exercises with friends and family. 

GaiamTV’s $9.95 per month subscription fee allows subscribers to stream unlimited content. The subscription to GaiamTV is no strings attached; there is no commitment, and members can cancel at anytime. GaiamTV offers a free 10-day trial. ­Gaiam TV’s entire library of thought provoking movies, top documentary films and fitness videos is available anytime, anywhere.  Streaming capabilities for Gaiam TV include personal computers, iPads and smartphones.
