Finding the time and energy to workout is an endless feat. Between jobs and maintaining a social life, it feels as if we’re getting enough exercise just by living our lives. However, despite the sensation of having run a marathon after a particularly difficult day at work, most of America is not getting nearly enough physical activity, nor are we getting proper nutrition. The United States is overstressed and, in fact, may be malnourished for it. How many times has the temptation to down a sugary “skinny” vanilla latte at 3 pm been too strong? How many times has the choice narrowed down to a Kit Kat over yogurt and fruit just for the quick energy?

Even working out becomes pointless when it happens once a week. Many people who over exercise for hours instead of keeping a habit throughout the week are less healthy than those that do. Consistency is key, and the human body becomes more stressed when put under such constant duress due to poor diet and exercise, even though from the outside the person appears to be healthy.

So, instead of grabbing the candy bar for energy when the 3 pm crash begins, turn to good protein like a yogurt. Instead of running eight miles one day a week, go for a 30 to 45 minute walk every day. Choose caffeinated tea over a red bull, and remember to get even one extra hour of sleep a night.

A good workout, however, requires some inspiration. Check out these adorable clothes and invest in an outfit and regimen that will make you crave the gym just to show off.
