Saturday workout

Today I did my 30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical. I like to set it on the varied program that changes height and resistance the whole time. Call me crazy, but I get more out of my workout when I can tell that I'm sweating.

Today I also did another workout from POPSUGAR fitness. It's a HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout. I like doing these every once in a while. They not only work out your whole body, but also get your heart rate up. Doing the same thing all the time can hinder your results, so I throw these in to change it up.

Here is the breakdown of the workout in chart format. There are pictures and descriptions if you go to the link too.

Thursday Workout!

Recently I joined a gym... yay!

So now my workout routine has changed up a bit. I usually try to use the cardio machines and weights that I don't have at home, when I'm at the gym. But I still like to do some exercising at home.

Today I worked on my core and arms. I actually did an exercise I found on POPSUGAR fitness. Some of these moves were tough, but some I made actually tougher for myself. To the side elbow plank, I added a dip. This is dropping your hip closest to the ground, almost to the floor and then coming back up to make your body straight from head to toes.

I am still drinking my protein shakes after working out. It's raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, organic, and non-GMO. What more could you ask for? I love throwing a banana or plain yogurt in with it. I am debating switching up the flavor next time, maybe to vanilla.
