Sweaty Saturday Finisher

Good little finisher for any kind of workout.  A 2 minute sprint, which will be about .25 of a mile, followed by 15 reps on the leg extension machine.  INCREASE speed each round ( I did by .5mph ).   When you're done you will have a mile ran and firm legs.  And you might not be able to walk tomorrow.....especially if you do this at the end of leg day!

4th of JULY 2017

These are always fun on a holiday.  The energy is high and so why not put that to good use and do a full body workout?!

This has a little bit of everything!  Do each circuit and then repeat it one more time.  Go straight down the list with little to no rest between exercises.  Push yourself on those 2 minute runs!

HAPPY 4TH TO YOU!!!

TGIF

The Grind Includes Friday.....

I want to welcome my weekend with a big dose of endorphins and a workout that makes me feel awesome when it's done.   So Just now I put together a cardio workout that uses a treadmill and body weight exercises that can be done right behind it.

HOW TO:

Fast pace run or walk for .25 miles ( about 2 mins ) make this challenging

THEN, 10 reps of each of exercise in the list

REPEAT 5 times for a total of 500 body weight reps and over a mile+ on the treadmill.

I'll post a video of the last ab exercise.... I have no idea how to describe them.  I just made the name up.  Like literally, just now.  But it's a fun move! #fithappens #tgif

MMWU: Pyramid Style

MMWU: pyramid style!  Meaning the reps get lower and lower as you go down the list!  THEN, when you reach the last exercise in the list you are going to go back up the list in reverse order. Going from bottom to the top.  Repeat as needed. 

Good luck to my ladies and gents doing my Summer Lean Out trainer!  Today you are going to rock that Monday 'Sweat It Out' workout!  I'm loving the messages/emails/DMs of your hard work!  Keep it up! If you want to jump on the Summer Trainer wagon with us it's located on the right hand side of my blog!  #mondaymotivation #nevermissamonday

Triceps and core +PLYOS

MMWU: triceps  ( because the back of those arms🙄 ).  And CORE with plyos is fun to add in.  3 rounds of each circuit.  Happy Monday! It's gonna be a good week. 

 #fithappens #mondaymotivation

Shoulders core + PLYOS

MMWU: shoulders ( because bigger shoulders makes a smaller waist  ).  And CORE with plyos is fun to add in.  3 rounds of each circuit.

And for fun, finish each circuit with a burnout set of car drivers.  ***hold a plate out in front of you with both hands and straight arms and pretend it's a steering wheel and turn plate side to side until fire sets in! #fithappens #mondaymotivation

MMWU

Monday Morning Wake Up:  on the first of the month.

Squatsssss and upper body.

You can either go straight down the list 3x OR do each of the paired exercises as a superset.  Repeat the pair 3x then move on to the next two.  Happy Monday!  Happy May!  #fithappens #mondaymotivation

MMWU

MMWU:

3 circuits that you do each for 7 minutes.  Just be near a clock or set a timer and do as many rounds as you can in 7 minutes.  This is supposed to be HIGH INTENSITY!  Little to no rest while you're in a circuit.  You will rest as long as needed when the 7 minutes is up.  Then move on to next circuit.

ENJOY!  Let's end the LAST WEEK of April happy! #fithappens #mondaymotivation

MMWU after Spring Break

MMWU:  I don't know about you but if you just had Spring Break like we did and stayed home with kids ( I had one recovering from a tonsillectomy) it felt like, FOR-EV-ER.  FOR-EV-ER. ( said in the Sandlot voice ).

ANYWAY, lets gets to sweating!  This is perfect for a little cardio and a way to fire up your muscles to start your week.  If you repeat this 2x you'll have a mile under your feet and that doesn't include the incline walking.

About that incline walking...... DO NOT hold on.  Power through 3 minutes as hard as you can go ( ugh, that just reminded me of my 'Y' mountain hike later today).

ENJOY this one!  Happy Monday.  #fithappens #mondaymotivation

Resistance Band Work

If you have resistance bands you HAVE to try this Circui:

Do the first exercise for 40 seconds, then take 20 seconds to rest and get ready to start the next exercise.  So :40 on / :20 off.  For 3 Rounds.  The band never comes off.

Side Shuffles w/ Squats

Lateral Mountain Climbers

Tap Outs Behind- the video makes it look like we are just stepping side to side but we are tapping our feet behind us.  If your buns start burning, you're doing it right

Pop Squats

Watch Video HERE

With No Rest

Very basic exercises can usually be the best.  Also wanted to show what "without rest" looks like.

Regular DB Squats followed without rest with Jump Squats.

DB walking lunges followed without rest with Lunge Jumps.

Plyos are AWESOME after a weighted exercise! I usually go for 20 reps of any plyo!

See the video of these Supersets HERE

DIZZY

Well sorry if this VIDEO makes you dizzy!!  BUT these are always fun to throw in after your leg press sets.  In / out jumps on a leg press machine. Kind of like jump squats.

Do your normal set of regular leg press for 'X' amount of reps.  Then immediately lower the weight some and do this until your feeling the burn.  Push past your comfort zone.  Move on to your next regular set.  Try it after each set you do. 

MMWU

MMWU:

One Circuit of this will take you 4 minutes.... IF you stay on task.

Do it 5 times through and you have yourself a 20 minute workout. 

The LUNGEY Workout

The 'Lungey' Workout:

Videos of all moves have been posted on my INSTAGRAM.

Do each pair of exercises like a superset.  Do it 3 times for 10 reps on all sides before moving to the next.

On Saturday I'll be letting go of my SPRING 6-WEEK TRAINER so you can be all prepared to start on Monday which is the first day of Spring  #goodbyewinter

LUNGEY LUNGEY

WATCH IT HERE

BB Overhead Walking Lunge TO a Deadlift.  10 reps each leg.  On the way back you do BB Overhead Walking Lunge TO a Front Squat.  10 Lunges on each leg. #fithappens #fithappensworkouts

Outer Thigh

WATCH IT HERE

Part of my Leg Day this week.  This was a good superset.  10 Squat to Side Leg Raise.  Then immediately after doing that you throw a 25 lb plate on your leg and do leg raises for 15 reps! It gets a little uncomfortable. 

I'll be writing up my whole 'LUNGEY Workout' with videos 

Video to this MMWU for today

This video WATCH IT HERE tags along with my Monday Morning Wake Up that I posted earlier.  In order of the workout, you have:

Alt. Arnold Press

Bench Hop Overs

Fire Walks- these are EVERYTHING

Jump Rope- all the different ways to spice it up and have fun jump roping.

You do these exercises for 40 seconds then taking 20 seconds to rest and get ready for the next.  5 Rounds.  #fithappens #fithappensworkouts

MMWU

Here is a workout that you can add on to the end of your lift or just something to do all on its own.

Each exercise WITH the rest will be 1 minute.  There are 4 exercises total that you will do for 5 rounds.  It will take you 20 minutes..... IF you stay on task.  40 seconds on / 20 seconds off.  I love the burn in my shoulders and my glutes in this workout.

LEGS and GLUTES

WATCH VIDEO HERE

I hit Glutes and Shoulders yesterday.

GO HEAVY on the squats.  Put ALL the weight in your heels and drive through the heels when you stand.  I was doing close to the whole weight stack on the cable machine.

SUPERSET these 2 exercises back to back.  Only take enough time switch up the weight.  I have to go lighter on the curtsy squats than I do the regular squats.  The burn is legit.  3 sets.  12-15 reps.
