Friday Workout

Today I did 10 minutes of cardio followed by 2 ab videos from the girls at Tone It Up! 

This is my current ab situation. 

Keep on keepin on.. 

Friday Workout

Today I began with 15 minutes of cardio. Then I focused on my arms with the dumbbells.
I did shoulder presses, bicep curls, and rowing moves.

I finished up with some regular squats and then sumo squats, while holding the dumbbells in near my chest. Adding the weights gave more core exercise to the squats.
This is a good image of the sumo squat with a weight. Place feet more than shoulder width apart. Remember not to let your knees go beyond your toes, and to act like you're sitting in a chair. The deeper the squat, the more it burns.

As always, I followed my workout with a protein shake. Today I had whole milk, a scoop of chocolate raw protein powder, a banana, and a large scoop of peanut butter.

Tuesday Workout

Today I started with my typical cardio. I did 20 minutes again- I'm getting there! I did butt kickers, jumping jacks, and danced a little, but mostly I focused on knee highs. Workin' the glutes.

After this I did about 10 minutes of arm work with the dumbbells. I had a 2-song dance party to celebrate my hard work..

And then did this booty workout.

I LOVE this girl, but she is cray. I am going to have to work myself up to doing the whole video. Some of the workouts I stopped after a couple reps.

After my workout today I am going to have my protein shake with a banana and some whole milk, because I'm out of almond milk.

Tuesday Workout

Good Afternoon! Today I started with 20 minutes of cardio. I did jumping jacks, butt kickers, knee highs, and just generally jumped around to keep my heart rate up. I also included what arm movements I could. The more we move, the more we sweat. Sweating is good for us!

Then I did 20 minutes of different moves with the dumbbells. I did squats and upward shoulder presses at the same time, bicep curls, etc. Just anything to keep me moving.

Then I finished with 20 minutes of:

planks
plank into downward dog (hold each for 5-10 seconds and slowly move to the next)
regular bridges

donkey kicks

single-leg bridges

I am going to finish my workout today with 20 minutes of resting and then a protein shake with some almond milk. Get it girl!

Sunday Workout

Goodmorning! Happy #sundayworkout.

I have started posting pictures to my new fitness instagram account. Check it out at the link above. 

Today I began my workout with 10 minutes of cardio: jumping jacks, knee-highs, butt kickers, and just generally dancing. Then I did another 10 minutes of cardio with 5 lb free weights. So, I was jumping around and also using the free weights to do the following: bicep curls, shoulder presses, and side-lateral raises.  [how to below]

Wednesday Workout

Today I did two workouts from my favorites baes over at Tone It Up.

FIRST I did 10 minutes of cardio: jumping jacks, knee highs, and butt kickers. (with a little bit of dancing in between, always)

Then I did the Morning Booty Call HIIT training
To be totally honest, it kicked my butt. Ouch.

And to finish up I did the Toned and Sexy Abs workout
This was much more manageable.

I really like the HIIT interval training.

Just remember "you gotta try every try!" - Chelsea B.

Now I am going to have a banana and almond milk in my protein shake. I love the chocolate flavor.

Monday Workout

Today I plan to workout later in the day. I will be writing a new post on that.
But first, I wanted to share that I received my first Fabletics order today.

I ordered the Amargosa style because I thought it was perfect for moving into chillier fall weather.








I am so excited to get into these new workout outfits. After receiving my order, I tried everything on and then reviewed it on the site. This helps others when making a sizing decision. It also gives you points that go towards a future outfit.
