Wouldya look at that! It's almost fuuhhreakie Friday already!
Or, if you're studying for the Bar exam, it could be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or probably even Saturday or Sunday for that matter.
Hey, at least it's training me treat all days equally, with just as much love, right? Good way to look at it, if ya ask me.
So, how is everyone who has been participating in the challenge been doing with your morning workouts?!
Or, if you're just keeping with your normal exericse routine, how has your week been?
If you've been hitting the gym hard all week, chances are you are probably starting to feel pretty sore and maybe a little burnt out by now.
I know I am, my hammies are tighter than ba-geezus!
I wanted to share with you an easy breezie workout I do days when I'm not necessarily in the mood for a day off from the gym or for weights, but want to do something a little less cardio-intense.
This is very similar to a workout psycho trainer created for me last year, and at the price I was paying for her sessions, you know it better be good!
I'm going to be doing this one in the morning, who is with me?? :)

{Remember to always check with your doc before taking on any new fitness routine!}
You can always take a little longer to cool down, and make sure to stretch it out really well and eat a bananer to ease any sorenss from the week when you're done!
If you need a great stretching song, check out "Liar Liar" by Christina Grimmie. I just found this girl's music on iTunes, and I am loving her voice, so so pretty.
{Don't forget to check out my new playlist from this week if you're in the need for some more tunes.}
Sweet dreams!

ohh I LOVE incline workouts! If I do the treadmill at the gym tomorrow I am using this! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess! :)
Incline walking really does give a good challenge but in a more low key way. I love them. Looks like a goody!
ReplyDeleteJenny - You are so welcome! :)
ReplyDeleteTina - Totally agree! It is perfect for an "active resting" day and this particular one is a really great, not to easy, not too hard, just right!
Have you ever pu the treadmill on incline and jogged backwards? I LOVE it! I usually do like 15% incline with speed of 3 and my booty screams after even 20 minutes!
ReplyDeleteKinsey - Wow! I'm sure that really impresses everyone at the gym! I am a little worried I am not coodinated enough for that...but I like a challenge so I will definitely give it a try and report back! :)
ReplyDeleteAfter getting frustrated from trying to run outside in this weather (Maryland feels like August in Indiana right now) I flipped to your page to look for something else. I just finished this interval one and loved it! I always feel like I have to run 5 miles straight for a true workout but this proved that idea to be false! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOooo yay!!! I am so glad you tried it and liked it!! It really is one of my favorites! :) I also used to totally turn my nose up at walking on the treadmill until my trainer had me try this and I wore my heart rate monitor. It is a GREAT fat burning/light(ish) cardio workout! :) Hope your move went well!
