If anyone is new to weightlifting, just remember it is okay to start with light weights! Practice getting good form down first. No need to go beast mode right away. Nothing can set you back from a health goal like an injury- trust me I’ve been there!
Thank you Allana, for never pushing your ways on to others, but always say something like, "it may look different for you, but for me ..." This is so important! Keep sharing what you do, and people will take what they want and do what resonates with them and their lifestyle. I thank you!
How much time do you actually spend being exercising or intentionally physically active per day and/or per week? I love to exercise! But Walking 5 miles a day/playing tennis and weight training 5 times weekly seems very difficult to fit into a busy life!! Impressed at your discipline and dedication to the program. You look phenomenal!
i think about this often, especially since i pretty much gave up cardio since giving up the gym during lockdown. i walk and hike but i've dropped off the radar of any kind of "program". i need help, frenz! LOL
I recommend Sydney Cummings. She posts programmed workouts for free on RUclips, every single day new videos! They are great workouts including cardio and a lot of weight training and they vary from 30-45 minutes. Rarely are they a full hour. It's much more manageable, esp if you can knock it out first thing in the morning/before work. I've used her stuff for close to 3 years and never gotten bored of them. Lots of variety.
maybe a little late and i’m no expert at all but here are my two cents - if you can, workout from home. there are lots of free youtube videos and even chat gpt can write you a program (use your own judgement). i have some dumbbells which are a one time investment, some bands and a yoga mat and this really motivates me to actually roll out of bed and move my body rather than getting ready, going to a gym etc - if you can, multitask. i got a walking pad which i like to use while watching a movie and that way time flies by and i would have watched that movie anyway. you can also call your friends and catch up while on a walk or get off a bus stop earlier etc - but also from my experience i still had to sacrifice part of my social life. but i try to have a good balance and even if i skip a few workouts or steps: anything you do is better than anything you don’t do. so my last thing so keep in mind is that we’re being active for our health and benefits etc, but there’s other things to health and wellness too. so if you sometimes can only squeeze in a 10 minute body weight workout, it’s still better than if you had just scrolled instagram for 10 minutes. you got this and be kind to your mind and body 🫶🏻
@@hernorthwind Thank you! I've been doing all of the above! I also have a "shake plate" that helps w/ join pain and flexibility. Slowly but surely, I'm coming back! Thank you so much for your kind concern!
As a fellow asthma sufferer, let me tell you. Getting right medication mix for you will make you more likely to be running. I was very resistant to this for a long time but I used to be dead after cardio. Like, I wouldn’t have energy to do anything else for the rest of the day, wouldn’t sleep well, and would fell terrible the next day. I am so grateful I finally got assigned an asthma nurse who really convinced me to try out different medications. Now I can do high impact activity without coughing and it improved my quality of life greatly.
Yes!! And graded exercise will improve lung compliance (stretch) and improve immune function which plays a role in asthma flares. I’m an asthmatic nurse practioner and running is part of my regimen to improve my huffy-puffiness 😂
Yess! I’m recovering from a surgery that gave me my health back. Can’t wait to be able to look after my body and my health again soon. Thank u for the inspiration ✨💜
Allana, I’m definitely here for “Hot Girl Spring/Summer” same as “Hot Girl Winter”. Last year I ran (like Forest Gump.😂😂) to where I did a half marathon. This year, however, I’ve decided on walking a minimum 3 miles a day and focusing on weight and I have been very happy with that decision. To improve your running journey, I would say walk a minute and run a minute, walk 2 minutes and run 2 minutes and so on until you get a rhythm. Also remember to breathe. ❤❤
You definitely inspired me in the winter when you started the series. & in March something clicked and I started taking my health a lot more seriously with eating more vegetables and protein. And getting into a workout routine with doing the 3,2,1 method and doing yoga once a week. Loving all of the tips and information!! ❤
Yes yes 100x yes! So deeply stand by everything you said. There’s this crazy misconception by people that working out is just to get thin or be a body builder! Functional fitness is REAL. Everyone (who is able) should be walking/light cardio at least an hour collectively a day and doing strength training!! Strength training doesn’t just affect muscles it makes your bones strong! As we get older our bones get weaker. This is about longevity & there are so so many free resources online. Love Joe Holder (he’s got great stretches up on RUclips Allana), love the Nike Training App, love RUclips and Instagram for free workouts. Just knowing they’re there is amazing. My version of hot girl spring/summer is that in addition to strength training I really want to join a climbing gym and get in to bouldering! Also my trainer is trying to get me to start Zone 2 cardio so we’ll see how that goes. 💪🏻🏃🏼♀️
Let's do Hot Girl Spring 🦋. Up here in upstate NY, we have seen spring in the past couple of days, but also wet snow a few days earlier lol ..and oh what a blessing 🙌 it is to feel the sunshine on my face!! I went to the zoo with my daughter yesterday, and it was literally the perfect day 72° F. It was a zoo at the zoo lol (fieldtrip). Hot girl spring here we come to celebrate with everyday May. Ahhh...great start to the season 😊 xoxo ❤️. I'm so ready Lan and Dejan!!
The stick mic and fitness list is giving keltie O’Connor - my other fav Vancouver youtuber 😂 the two of you have been my biggest inspirations to keep moving and working on a healthier life ❤
I am so excited to follow and see your running journey!!!! I went from no running at all to now training for a half marathon. You might fall in love with it like I did 😂💗💗💗.
I love the hot girl series!!! Not sure if it’s a possibility but maybe doing a q&a with diy body to go over the basics of putting together a program etc?? 😊
Hi Allana! I've been mouth taping for about 3 months now and I love it! I fall asleep faster, sleep more soundly, and feel more refreshed when I wake up. I don't have a sleep tracker but I can tell from how I feel in the morning that it is working. Please sometimes I am a mouth breather/snorer and of course the mouth tape has ended that. worth a try! XO
Loved this video because it is as relatable as it can get. Im actively participating on HGWinter-All seasons and it makes me very proud! My cardio of choice is swimming and oh baby yisus I suffer 😅 sending much love! ❤❤
I love this, I follow you e agree with you 100%! Supplements, hydration my steps, weights. Stretching.. if I do don’t do I really feel down, defo gotta keep myself moving n groovin..love my sleep. And I love recipes you post! You eat so yummy!! Running, equally just can’t breathe, but sprinting to gates, great analogy.. shall run slowly at first learn to SPRINT! Ty I really enjoyed this, a great pep talk, which we all need! Dig this woman ❤! x
Loved the nutrition and body positivity vibes on this chat! Thank you for addressing tings that we can all be reminded to love our bodies and what we put into them. ❤
I see you wearing that gray sweatshirt on every walk which is a great indication that I SHOULD buy it lololol maybe include one in a giveaway 👀🤞🏻 I wish I could follow along with hot girl spring/summer/winter but I’m in anesthesia school in the OR 10-12 hours a day so all of my steps are in the depths of the dark cold OR but I still do my best to get them in! Can’t wait to graduate, have some free time, and have the energy to dive into the hot girl mentality. You’re such an inspiration!! Lots of love 💕
If you wear a smart watch when you run, keep your heart rate in Zone 2. This may involve slowing to a walk when your heart rate gets too high. Zone 2 is the best way to build your aerobic fitness and you shouldn't feel like death! Love from a girlie who used to hate running and now actually does run marathons x
@@kuzmanator It’s great! Absolutely the best way to build fitness. If you don’t have a watch to monitor HR, zone 2 is an intensity where you can still hold a conversation 😊
So so good! I can’t do much outdoors cause the pollen truly destroys me but this is so motivating. Def joining in! These are all worries that run through my mind but that I never take the time to write down or focus on. This vid was needed!
Mouth tape is a game changer. I don't have issues with my TMJ or lock jaw when I wear the tape... Its just deeply unsexy lol Also, love this Wes Anderson vibe. Your book shelf work was *chefs kiss* worth it.
I’m going to be participating! I’ve got the yoga and Pilates down, but I need more strength training and cardio. Also, I’m dealing with some nutrition issues so I plan to see a dietitian as well. Thanks for the motivation and I ❤every day May!
I did a hot girl summer last year and fell off the wagon this year. Biggest thing I learned is consistency. Which is boring but needed and the hard truth!
I agree with 6 of them lol, the only thing that is a NO for me is the amount of vitamins and supplement that are doing more harm than good (especially to the liver and Kidney, that have to process that) ... unless you are clinically deficient on 1 or 2 vitamins, keep in mind that they can do a lot of damage… again not pushing anything, you do you lol, just my take on it … for the rest HOT GIRL Spring it is …. I’m doing 10K steps a day + 2 full body a week + swimming twice a week and for cardio… since I can’t run.....I HEAR and FEEL YOU hahaha I do a light jog and bicycle twice a week
Yes to mouth tape! I like the skinny confidential one. Lets you still breathe through your mouth if necessary. The others made me afraid I would suffocate! Ps love my Oura rig data too! Love hot girl spring. Thanks for the motivation!
I felt very similarly to you about cardio but I’ve fully come around and now it’s my favorite part of my day! Running has become a complete time for me - I can listen to a podcast, and audiobook or just Taylor swift and completely turn off the stress. I NEVER thought I could be this person (I was also team “running is boring”) but maybe this could help you with your cardio goal!
Yay 😃 I’m doing hot girl spring too along side you (in my head lol) I’ve lost 10lbs so far in 5 weeks. I want to lose abt 40lbs total 🤞🏼 I cut out sugar and lowered my carbs upped my lean protein and cut out red meat. Love you sharing your meal plans. It really helps me a lot. I stocked up on shrimp 🍤 so I can make your easy shrimp meals yum. Happy Everyday May❤
I’ve hated running my entire life, but I started a running challenge and it’s been amazing. I’m on day 92 of running every day. Even if it’s just a mile, you can do it!
If you hate running, would you consider swimming instead, especially leading into the warmer months? Swimming is just as valid a cardio workout because it also forces you to train your lungs in proper breathing. I also hate running for cardio (I'm more of a sprinter) but absolutely LOVE swimming.
I’ve been really trying to get 10,000 steps in a day, and booked a pickleball court for today. My goal is to be a pickleball/ tennis girlie this summer. I’m not on your level but you’re so motivating so thank you!
Oh the things I could do as well if I didn’t have kids and a 9-5 job haha it’s incredibly difficult to get all those 7 things accomplished when those are a factor. Unfortunately
Pilates has been huge for me for flexibility! I prefer it to yoga. I’ve gone from being unable to touch my toes to now being able to flatten my fingers down on the floor when I reach down to touch my toes. The slow, careful, controlled movements have been incredible for my core and many small muscles, my balance is also way better.
Mouth tape would be interesting to try. It can help you tune into more nasal breathing - and that could be really beneficial to your running. When you think boredom makes you want to stop - take some good deep nasal inhales and see how you can keep on.
Forget spring, let's beg summer to get here and stay! I'm all in for hot girl summer. I use a Garmin, and I'm getting my intensity minutes just working around the house. You don't always have to go to the gym. I feel much sorer working out in my yard, than when I go lift weights. Also, cleaning the inside of your house can be a workout.
I have a deviated septum and would always mouth breath while sleeping. I got nasal dilators and wake up with my mouth closed every morning! They’re just little silicone tubes that keep your nasal passages open. They’re reusable and you don’t need to worry about your skincare stopping mouth tape from sticking on.
I do my cardio when i go for a walk (i walk 10 to 12 km every two days, so I make between 10k to 14k steps), and it put me in a good mood to be outside and feel the sun on my skin. I notice that my thighs and arms look so muscular and i loose weight ofc (it was the point)==> i enjoy doing doing sport while i'm on holiday. On thursday, i take dance classes (Dancehall) and thanks god i've cardio bc it is intense).
🚶♀️ 💪🏻 💊 🍽 🧘♀️ 🛌 🏃♀️ got it. #HGS #EDM My goal this spring and summer is to get outdoors more. My depression keeps me cooped up, so I really need to try and get out for a walk 🌸🌱🪻🍀 love you 🫶
Sorry but I had to (with love of course) : "How have you never hiked in Vancouver!?" LOL girl, I lived downtown for about 3 years (I even saw you once walking down Howe but I was too shy to say hi 👉🥹👈), get your a$$ up there ASAP lol you will love it!! I would come back to Van just for the hikes
Okay I love your idea of 2 upper body days, 2 lower body days, 1 full body day. What do you all think of doing 3 full body days, would that be equivalent? Even if those days have to be longer, that would be ok. I'm trying to figure out how to be in the gym less frequently but still with most impact.
Oh I’ve had a running experience through the Frankfurt airport too. Literally from one end to the other. Had to literally jump over someone’s luggage lmao
Question - with how important sleep is, if you’re going to bed late and your morning workout means skimping on sleep, do you do it? I feel like I’ve seen you do both
Definitely look into interval training. Interval training got me from not being able to run for a couple minutes, to being able to run for a mile straight and further. I will say also as a bored runner, I run on the treadmill with a RUclips video on and I can just go forever.
Trying nose strips because the idea of waking up with my mouth taped kinda scared me! On the nights I use them, the nose strips definitely make a difference
I love my Ora ring a lot. I don't feel it a lot at all. I use it for tracking sleep, mostly for guided meditations and tracking my period. I have an apple watch and it's so comfortable to wear it in sleep or sometimes it's not going with my outfit. So yes, I agree it is pricy but it's sooooo worth it. ❤
Omg I’m dying cause I have the same list of things I believe my body should be able to do / want to be able to do 😂 a push up, running a mile, pull up, swimming, general skills in case I need an escape plan loll and for literally no reason being able to do a one handed cartwheel for as long as I can loll as for the running bit, you’ve got this! Last year I hated running, all my life I hated running lool but I started running end up last summer (struggled to run for ten mins straight) and then did a 10k turkey trot and it blows my mind now that I can just go out and run a 10 k
Yes to mouth tape! You don’t need to buy anything specifically branded for mouth tape, you can just cut strips of kinesthesiology tape. Mouth breathing is so bad for us and I feel so much better when I wake up now. Esp if you have a cough from dry air, breathing thru your nose fixes that!
Yes to hot girl spring!!! Also Ghost energy drinks now have an NPN I believe (number required for Canadian supplements and food) - and they are available here on our home turf 🎉🎉🎉🔥 I found them in Calgary two weeks ago
Mouth taper here 😂. It is amazing! I have been doing this for the last 6 months and I truly feel the difference when I don't tape vs. when I do! I find KT Tape works best😊
Allana re: mouthtape, check out the book “Breathe” by James Nestor. It was SO interesting-covers how important nasal breathing is and can increase performance/physical output, etc. the mini study he did with this other guy was fascinating. Literally all of their vitals worsened when they were forced to breathe through their mouth. Highly recommend!
I have similar goals! And we're both young but apparently this entire list (plus not drinking) are pivotal for general healthy longevity especially after our estrogen levels start to go wonky.
Anyone starting to take supplements, please do your research first! It’s not as simple as I’m tired so I’ll take vitamin B etc.. the way the body absorbs them, when best to take them and combinations of taking different ones are all major factors as well as the quality of the vitamin you’re taking. Also, research the side effects of upping your dose of certain vitamins and minerals as they can counteract others you are producing naturally and can cause negative effects. Research is key 👌
Well… thanks to your ‘scenarios’ I can’t unsee it now. And since I have exactly the same hate relationship with running I will be absolutely miserable but… at least I will escape from anyone who tries to catch me 😂
I'm so into your tennis journey! I don't think the average person realizes how much endurance it takes to play a singles match! It's tough! Love your progress, and if you're ever in Portland, OR and you want to hit some balls I would love to have you as my guest at my tennis club, (or the one I belong to I should say, lol) 🎾💚
If anyone is new to weightlifting, just remember it is okay to start with light weights! Practice getting good form down first. No need to go beast mode right away. Nothing can set you back from a health goal like an injury- trust me I’ve been there!
100% thought your microphone was a spatula in the beginning 😂 loving every day may!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t even notice until you mentioned. Hilarious 😆 I love Allana… I look forward to her videos ALL the time.
Haha!
I spit out my water at this comment lololol
Me too!
That blue shirt is PERFECTION!!
Blue was always her color!!
Hot Girl Winter>Hot Girl Spring>Hot Girl Summer. It's Hot Girl Seasons... ALL SEASONS, we love it and we can do it ❤
Thank you Allana, for never pushing your ways on to others, but always say something like, "it may look different for you, but for me ..."
This is so important! Keep sharing what you do, and people will take what they want and do what resonates with them and their lifestyle.
I thank you!
I agreeeee that shade of blue and the background chef kiss 🤌🏻
Blue shirt on you is divine. Thank you for always being so positive and realistic regarding health and exercise. ❤

I’ve hated running my entire life, but I started a running challenge and it’s been amazing. I’m on day 92 of running every day. Even if it’s just a mile, you can do it!
If you hate running, would you consider swimming instead, especially leading into the warmer months? Swimming is just as valid a cardio workout because it also forces you to train your lungs in proper breathing. I also hate running for cardio (I'm more of a sprinter) but absolutely LOVE swimming.
Loving every day May so far! Will definitely be trying some of these things.
Please consider another meal prep video 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’ve been really trying to get 10,000 steps in a day, and booked a pickleball court for today. My goal is to be a pickleball/ tennis girlie this summer. I’m not on your level but you’re so motivating so thank you!
Hello! Love to hear you want to build up your running ability
I am from Frankfurt & I can confirm that it's the worst running to your gate & trying to reach it 😂🏃🏻♀️
Nothing beats Istanbul International airport.
Oh the things I could do as well if I didn’t have kids and a 9-5 job haha it’s incredibly difficult to get all those 7 things accomplished when those are a factor. Unfortunately
ooh i'm in! it's autumn where I live, but is so sunny and full if flowers that i can pretend it is spring in here too *blessed*
This blue is stunning on you!!
Pilates has been huge for me for flexibility! I prefer it to yoga. I’ve gone from being unable to touch my toes to now being able to flatten my fingers down on the floor when I reach down to touch my toes. The slow, careful, controlled movements have been incredible for my core and many small muscles, my balance is also way better.
Mouth tape would be interesting to try. It can help you tune into more nasal breathing - and that could be really beneficial to your running. When you think boredom makes you want to stop - take some good deep nasal inhales and see how you can keep on.
Forget spring, let's beg summer to get here and stay! I'm all in for hot girl summer. I use a Garmin, and I'm getting my intensity minutes just working around the house. You don't always have to go to the gym. I feel much sorer working out in my yard, than when I go lift weights. Also, cleaning the inside of your house can be a workout.
I have a deviated septum and would always mouth breath while sleeping. I got nasal dilators and wake up with my mouth closed every morning! They’re just little silicone tubes that keep your nasal passages open. They’re reusable and you don’t need to worry about your skincare stopping mouth tape from sticking on.
I do my cardio when i go for a walk (i walk 10 to 12 km every two days, so I make between 10k to 14k steps), and it put me in a good mood to be outside and feel the sun on my skin.
I notice that my thighs and arms look so muscular and i loose weight ofc (it was the point)==> i enjoy doing doing sport while i'm on holiday.
On thursday, i take dance classes (Dancehall) and thanks god i've cardio bc it is intense).
🚶♀️ 💪🏻 💊 🍽 🧘♀️ 🛌 🏃♀️ got it. #HGS #EDM My goal this spring and summer is to get outdoors more. My depression keeps me cooped up, so I really need to try and get out for a walk 🌸🌱🪻🍀 love you 🫶
Hot girl Spring is going to actually be the thing. Self care Spring. Healthy living Spring.
Sorry but I had to (with love of course) : "How have you never hiked in Vancouver!?" LOL girl, I lived downtown for about 3 years (I even saw you once walking down Howe but I was too shy to say hi 👉🥹👈), get your a$$ up there ASAP lol you will love it!! I would come back to Van just for the hikes
lol ya. I travel to BC and AB just to go hiking.
Okay I love your idea of 2 upper body days, 2 lower body days, 1 full body day. What do you all think of doing 3 full body days, would that be equivalent? Even if those days have to be longer, that would be ok. I'm trying to figure out how to be in the gym less frequently but still with most impact.
Oh I’ve had a running experience through the Frankfurt airport too. Literally from one end to the other. Had to literally jump over someone’s luggage lmao
I would love an in depth meal prep video with macros/calories. It’s so hard for me to find good recipes that are high protein and fiber 🥲
Question - with how important sleep is, if you’re going to bed late and your morning workout means skimping on sleep, do you do it? I feel like I’ve seen you do both
Definitely look into interval training. Interval training got me from not being able to run for a couple minutes, to being able to run for a mile straight and further. I will say also as a bored runner, I run on the treadmill with a RUclips video on and I can just go forever.
love the comment about your body being your vessel, great video today! ✨🤍
Trying nose strips because the idea of waking up with my mouth taped kinda scared me! On the nights I use them, the nose strips definitely make a difference
I love my Ora ring a lot. I don't feel it a lot at all. I use it for tracking sleep, mostly for guided meditations and tracking my period. I have an apple watch and it's so comfortable to wear it in sleep or sometimes it's not going with my outfit. So yes, I agree it is pricy but it's sooooo worth it. ❤
Omg I’m dying cause I have the same list of things I believe my body should be able to do / want to be able to do 😂 a push up, running a mile, pull up, swimming, general skills in case I need an escape plan loll and for literally no reason being able to do a one handed cartwheel for as long as I can loll as for the running bit, you’ve got this! Last year I hated running, all my life I hated running lool but I started running end up last summer (struggled to run for ten mins straight) and then did a 10k turkey trot and it blows my mind now that I can just go out and run a 10 k
Yes to mouth tape! You don’t need to buy anything specifically branded for mouth tape, you can just cut strips of kinesthesiology tape. Mouth breathing is so bad for us and I feel so much better when I wake up now. Esp if you have a cough from dry air, breathing thru your nose fixes that!
Love this series, thank you!!! 🎉
100% on sleep- i need 8-10 hrs lol. Love how funny and honest u r!
EVERYDAY MAY IS MY PERSONALITY 🎉🎉🎉
HGE - hot girl errday 🔥
Yes to hot girl spring!!! Also Ghost energy drinks now have an NPN I believe (number required for Canadian supplements and food) - and they are available here on our home turf 🎉🎉🎉🔥 I found them in Calgary two weeks ago
I just frickin love you. You’re awesome.
I’m here for the spring!!! Can I ask what platform you use for your yoga?? 😊
Mouth taper here 😂. It is amazing! I have been doing this for the last 6 months and I truly feel the difference when I don't tape vs. when I do! I find KT Tape works best😊
Allana re: mouthtape, check out the book “Breathe” by James Nestor. It was SO interesting-covers how important nasal breathing is and can increase performance/physical output, etc. the mini study he did with this other guy was fascinating. Literally all of their vitals worsened when they were forced to breathe through their mouth. Highly recommend!
Love this video! I am on a health version as well and you give me tips and tricks with your videos!
I have similar goals! And we're both young but apparently this entire list (plus not drinking) are pivotal for general healthy longevity especially after our estrogen levels start to go wonky.
Anyone starting to take supplements, please do your research first! It’s not as simple as I’m tired so I’ll take vitamin B etc.. the way the body absorbs them, when best to take them and combinations of taking different ones are all major factors as well as the quality of the vitamin you’re taking. Also, research the side effects of upping your dose of certain vitamins and minerals as they can counteract others you are producing naturally and can cause negative effects. Research is key 👌
Well… thanks to your ‘scenarios’ I can’t unsee it now. And since I have exactly the same hate relationship with running I will be absolutely miserable but… at least I will escape from anyone who tries to catch me 😂
okay girl my jaw literally dropped when you said you'd never been on a hike...
I'm so into your tennis journey! I don't think the average person realizes how much endurance it takes to play a singles match! It's tough! Love your progress, and if you're ever in Portland, OR and you want to hit some balls I would love to have you as my guest at my tennis club, (or the one I belong to I should say, lol) 🎾💚
just got back from the gym and now i feel like i gotta stretch so i dont let you down lol
