My 4-Week Workout Journal, Day 7 & 8: Cardio & Upper Body Workout

I’m still going strong with my 4-week workout plan. I was doing awesome until yesterday. Still, I’d rather skip a workout than injure myself and be out for weeks! The good news is that the upper body workout I did today already felt much easier than it was the first time I did it. I’m [...]

4/22: Earth Day Leg Workout and Steady Cardio

Happy Earth Day! I’ve been having some lower back pain the last couple of days. I’m guessing it’s from the back workout I did on Tuesday. It was really bad yesterday and I thought I was okay to workout today until I started doing squats. For this reason, I didn’t even finish up my last [...]

3/31: Arm Workout and Steady Cardio

Today I did an arm workout that consisted of both biceps and triceps exercises. It’s the same arm workout I’ve been doing for a little while now. I followed immediately with a steady state cardio workout on the treadmill. It felt good to run again, it feels like it’s been awhile. Arm Workout Barbell Curls [...]

Is Your Body Bikini-Ready?

Bikini Ready Body

Spring is right around the corner now and Summer will be here before you know it! During the cooler months of the year, your body has been covered up with warm clothing. Removing those layers now might just reveal a body that isn’t quite worthy of that new swimsuit you’ve been eyeballing. Now isn’t the [...]

3/3 & 3/4 Workouts: Cardio, Biceps, Triceps

Today’s workout was pretty much the exact same biceps/triceps workout that I did last week so I’m gonna keep this pretty short. I did do over an hour of cardio last night and I included that in the beginning of this workout post. The biceps/triceps workout immediately follows and is a great workout for those [...]

How to Lose the Last 10 Stubborn Pounds

Stubborn weight loss

When you’re trying to get down to a certain weight, it seems like the last few pounds is harder to take off. That’s how it was for me anyway. I started working out regularly about 2 months after my second son was born. I weighed 178 pounds the day I gave birth and I probably [...]

1/17 Workout: Legs, Abs & Cardio

Walking to burn 600 calories

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 [...]

1/7 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

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 [...]

11/27: Lower Body Workout + Steady Cardio

Who’s gonna be sore tomorrow!? I AM! Today I did Day 2 of my upper/lower body workout split and that included strength training and steady pace cardio. Running is not at all easy for me, especially steady state but I was able to finish the entire workout and that makes me feel pretty damn good. [...]
