I thoroughly enjoyed today’s workout! It was an upper body dumbbell workout done circuit style and I loved it! I think I liked it so much because it’s really fast-paced and I was constantly moving. There were a total of 7 exercises that are completed one after the other and then you rest for 60-90 [...]
My 4-Week Workout Journal, Day 2: Plyometrics
January 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment
While today is actually my off day, I completely forgot to post the workout I did Tuesday. One thing is clear. I’m beginning to wonder what I was thinking (slightly kiddin, but not a whole lot – haha). For me, plyometric workouts are THE toughest workouts to get through. It can be frustrating when you’re [...]
My 4-Week Workout Journal, Day 1: Here We Go!
January 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment
For the next 4 weeks I will be making daily posts about my workouts – with the exception of Wednesdays because that will be my off day. Yeah, only one off day. That is something I’m definitely not used to. In welcoming the new year, I also wanted to challenge myself to a tough 4-week [...]

The photo in this post really has nothing to do with my workout today in any way but it’s Adrian Peterson and my Vikings are in the NFC Championship game this coming Sunday so I’m showing my team spirit! I realized today that I completely skipped shoulders. For my last workout I did back and [...]
1/17 Workout: Legs, Abs & Cardio
January 17, 2010 By 1 Comment
On a happy note, I’m so glad the Vikes won their playoff game today! But…wanna know what’s sad? My hamstrings were STILL hurting from the HIIT workout I did the other day. As a result, I decided to still do legs today but I used a light amount of weight and did a higher number [...]
1/12 Workout: Back, Biceps & High-Intensity Interval Training
January 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I got a really great workout in today despite the fact that I’m fighting a nasty cold. If I would’ve known I was going to cough so much after the fact, I definitely wouldn’t have done any cardio. But I’m already done with it now and it feels good to get a great workout in! [...]

Today I started a new workout program. It’s actually featured in the January/February 2010 issue of Muscle and Fitness Hers. It’s a workout split that fitness model Nicole Wilkins Lee follows at times. In 2009, Nicole won first place in each of the following competitions:
1/7 Workout: Chest, Abs & HIIT

Today I finally got a strength training workout in – it’s been a few weeks! I kind of took it pretty easy but I’m definitely feeling pretty tired right about now. Getting started again is the hardest part and I’m so looking forward to being on a regular strength training schedule again. I’ve missed it [...]
1/5 Workout: Steady State Cardio
January 6, 2010 By 2 Comments
I actually did this workout yesterday, but then forgot to post it. Yesterday was the very first time I have ever attempted to do a cardio workout first thing in the morning. My husband was working and my mother-in-law was watching our little people (the kids<3) for us during the day so I tried to [...]
12/28: Cardio Workout (Steady State)
December 28, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Today was my first workout in 12 days. Whooooops! Christmas definitely got in the way for me these past few days. Shopping, wrapping, cleaning, baking and decorating wiped me out. Since we got over 12″ of snow I did get to shovel a couple times though. That has to count for something right? Since I [...]
