Nutrition and Weight Training for Women
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 [...]
I completely forgot to post my workout from last Friday, so I’m going to double that with today’s workout. I took the entire weekend off because I was busy baking cookies with my kids and by the time I was done baking I was exhausted. I made some gingerbread cookies though and they stayed soft! [...]
Today was another cardio workout day for me. It’s really starting to get easier which makes me pretty happy because I’ve always hated cardio – more specifically steady state cardio – but it really does start to get easier once your body gets used to running. I’m pleasantly surprised how much I’m actually starting to [...]
Today’s workout only consisted of steady state cardio and a small ab workout. Going into this workout, I thought about nixing the strength training portion today and just running for as long as I could. So that’s what I did. I ran until I basically ran out of energy and felt like I was going [...]
Today was lower body workout day followed by at least 30 minutes of steady state cardio. Since I have been struggling with jogging for the entire 30 minutes, I was looking forward to today’s workout to see if I could improve over the last workout. I definitely did and you’ll see in the cardio workout [...]
Wow. I’m so sorry this workout post is kind of late. I got a message from a reader today saying that they were unable to leave comments. Well that can’t happen right now because that’s how you enter to win the EatSmart Digital Bathroom Scale giveaway! Needless to say, I was agonizing over this problem [...]
Happy first day of December! I like December…it means Christmas is right around the corner. I’m actually already almost done with my Christmas shopping and that’s a great feeling! I had a great workout today, felt like I was gonna die at one point. That means I’m pushing myself though I suppose. It was during [...]
I’m really liking the current workout split that I’ve got going on. Today was an upper body workout followed by HIIT (or high intensity interval training). My legs have actually recovered from my last lower body workout and that makes trying to sprint a whole lot easier. When I was doing the full body workouts [...]
Happy Saturday! I hope you’re having a good weekend. Only 1 more day until Vikings football is on again. Last week they had a bye week so I’ve been having withdrawals. Today’s workout was almost a full body workout. I did the 21′s workout again, minus the leg exercises, but then I did a 20-minute [...]
Since I finished my strength training workouts this week, today I decided to do some high intensity interval training (or HIIT). Gosh I love it! I almost felt heartbroken because it wasn’t a lifting day, but I don’t mind HIIT either. I haven’t done it for a few days and it felt good to really [...]
Today was just cardio day for me. Oh how I love to hate cardio. Today though, I did it a little differently. I tried HIIT (high intensity interval training). It’s important to know that interval training is different from high intensity interval training. It was really intense, but the tough part was only 20 minutes [...]
