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.

Tuesday Morning Workout

Did this workout as soon as I woke up today...

I could only manage to do it twice through on my limited fuel supply. Maybe tomorrow I will be able to do it three times. I am living by the rule, "Doing some is better than doing none," at least while I get back into the swing of things.

I can really feel it in my thighs and my lower core.

Followed with a 4 oz glass of lemon water.
I will be eating a shake after my shower:

1/2 cup greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 banana
1-2 T peanut butter
1 tsp nutella (or cocoa powder)

This shake keeps me full for hours.
