At the moment I've been using the gym a lot and exercising more, so that my body looks its best in the summer time. I really enjoy working out; I've always been a very active person and I feel really good when I exercise and eat healthily.
I'm not in any way a 'fitness freak' or a health doctor/specialist but I thought my readers would appreciate my viewpoint on it.

One thing I would suggest before you decide to work out is to plan your routine. I would recommend just getting a notebook/paper and write down what you want to achieve in the next week/month/year. Having a goal to set yourself will help to motivate yourself to exercise. Then you want to plan your exercise around your daily routine; whether you choose to work out every morning, every other evening or just on the weekend is completely up to you.
You also want to really think about what type of exercise you like. I wouldn't suggest exercising just because you're friends are or just because it's exercise. If you don't like/enjoy the exercise you're doing, it's more likely to demotivate you and your body. They're so many ways to exercise, so explore and choose the right thing for you.
When exercising and perfecting your body, you need to be aware that you NEVER compare yourself to anyone else. It's okay to be like 'wow her body looks amazing' or 'Her legs look so nice!' but you should never
aspire your body to look like someone else's, because you are YOU and that person may have body issues just like you so be aware of that.
But there's nothing wrong with going on Tumblr or Instagram and looking at some fitness accounts, the Ryan Gosling picture is a cheeky favourite of mine.
Another thing with regards to eating more healthily, just think about what you put in your body will determine what your body will look like on the outside. So if you're constantly eating Mcdonalds and junk food, your skin is more likely to look not as good as if you eat a lot of fruit and vegetables daily. Also, if I do eat chocolate/biscuits 'shit' basically on a daily basis, my body and mind won't feel very good.
Whereas if I'm eating a bowl or raspberries and strawberries, I'll feel better about myself.
Another main rule for eating healthily is to NEVER skip meals. Some people think that skipping meals is healthy and will help you lose weight, it's not the answer. I tried it and I found myself snacking when I got home from school on junk basically. So it's important to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with a few balanced, healthy snacks added in.
Finally, I would recommended having a friend along with you for your 'exercise journey' if you like. It helps if you've got someone with you so that they're going through the same thing, and they'll feel better about their body as well. It's better and more enjoyable to go to the gym and do exercise DVD's with a friend as well! :)
