The festive season is coming, and we all know what that means: we're going to stuff ourselves with food so much that by the time the New Year comes, we're going to swear that we'll exercise and live a healthy lifestyle. And then, by the time April comes, we'll lose all motivation, drop those dumbbells, and forget about them until the new festive season comes. And so the cycle will continue.

But that doesn't mean we all should give up trying to stay fit, and Cassey Ho is here to help us out. First of all, despite being a fitness trainer, blogger, and an active person in general, she struggles with the same stuff that we all do. That's a big relief. She's also very encouraging, as she's not a genetic freak, or a pro athlete, and most can relate with her. Second, she shares a lot of the stuff that goes on with her healthy lifestyle, in the gym, etc., and seeing such a training-heavy comic revives one's enthusiasm to start exercising again. The energy and the enthusiasm just come off so matter-of-factly and simply that it makes one think that achieving a fit body isn't as hard as one initially thought.

It's the second part of her ongoing comic series here on Bored Panda. If you want to see the previous part, you may find it here.

It's worth talking a little bit about the author of the comic, Cassey Ho Vinh. She's a successful American social media entrepreneur, and a founder of blogilates, a fitness apparel company that's taking off. She also writes blog posts, raising awareness for various fitness issues, and is the creator of a well-known pilates program called POP Pilates. Four years ago, Cassey was listed in Time's "25 Most Influential People on the Internet," and won a SHORTY award. In other words, she has real authority in the virtual space, and she uses that power for good.

It's obvious that Cassey loves working out, but pilates is easily one her favorite types of exercise. Pilates is where strength meets flexibility, and you have to work out in highly-focused movements, all while listening to some kick-ass music. In other words, it's quite fun, and it's designed for everybody. When somebody mentions pilates, sometimes it is met with a skeptical look, especially from manly macho men, but once they get in there, they're usually in a world of trouble, and leave the mat exhausted. In terms of workouts, pilates is as legit as they come.

Becoming fit is one thing, but staying fit is quite a challenge. Everybody knows that motivation dips with time, and if you take a break from exercise, it's hard to bounce back on the track. Here are a few tips that might help you stay on the path to a healthy life. First and foremost, set a goal, know what you're working for and what you want to achieve with training. This will definitely help you stay motivated, even in the darkest moments. Second, keep your expectations realistic, and try to set a goal that challenges you, without being so hard that you'll drop it, but also without being too easy for you to actually transform your body for the better. Last but not least, remember that consistency trumps high scores and peaks: you don't have to perform at 100 percent all the time, you don't even have start with long workouts; what's important is you should divide your exercises into bite-size pieces that you can "swallow"— nothing kills motivation faster than an inappropriate pace in your routine, and your body will subconsciously avoid high-stress activities.

Up for more comics? Bored Panda has lots of them to offer, and here are just a few most recent ones. Lainey Molnar talks about everyday girl issues from her own perspective. But everyday life is a universal topic, and there are many relatable things that we all share, so here are some comics that talk about these common things we experience. People are more aware of physical health and physical fitness than they are of mental health and mental fitness. These two comics talk about it in their own unique way, one from the depression and anxiety angle, and in another comic, the author talks about their ADHD.

That's utterly stupid to do that. What we see on TV, magazine covers, etc. are just almost perfected constructions. A heap of money is burned to create that one perfect image on the magazine cover, or the amazing shot in a movie. Also, it's heavily edited so it's very, very far from reality. There are no big fans which blow away your silky smooth hair in reality. In short, reality sucks!

I got my hair cut down to the bottom of my ears when I was younger. A favorite pastime was to shake my hair out from behind my ears and start scolding my brother for not doing schoolwork XD.

A curvy part can add some attractive contours to the top of your hair.
