How long do you Stretch after a workout? It’s SO key.
You are actually really limiting your ability to get stronger & fitter if you’re lacking flexibility, not to mention putting yourself at risk for injuries.
I’m so guilty myself for not stretching enough! Photocred to the amazing @iridamete on IG!
What are your favorite brands and places to shop?? This is a Reebok top and lululemon athletica pants my sister Chalene so generously gave me.
Love the waistband because it doesn’t gouge into your abs like some do! She’s so generous.. she also just sent me a new cover-up Jacket yesterday …just because! I can’t even keep up with the Thank You’s!
I’m sure everyone who follows me is already following her, but if you’re not, definitely check out her fb page Chalene Johnson and her IG www.Instagram.com/ChaleneJohnson
Agreed?!
It’s the sum of all the little things you do, consistently and with your best effort, that makes ALL the difference in your outcome.
Have a lower body injury or just need a no-impact CARDIO workout? Well I do, so here’s what I did:
No Impact Upper Body & Core HIIT Workout
This was 1.5 minutes of each exercise, all-out explosive energy (high #reps, low weight) & then a 30-second rest before moving on to the next move.
Do 3 ROUNDS for a 30-min workout. Warm-up first
It’s not done in the order shown (sorry).
It’s:
1 Overhead push presses w/weights light enough to do 1.5min without stopping.
2 Row, or deep squats w/barbell on back.
3 Bench press while bringing legs in as you lower the bar & extending out as you lift the bar. Don’t arch your back.
4 Plank on ball, bringing ball in & out. Don’t arch your back.
5 Resistance band around ankles, stepping side to side (knees bent) & pressing 12lb med ball, or dumbell, overhead.
I followed this with a heavy lifting session for shoulders & chest. Made for a great cardio & lift workout combo. Shoulders were FRIED.
Where’s Waldo??? lol!
Not every picture works!
On average, how many servings of vegetables are you eating per day?
Are your fitness results possibly being hidden by too many carbs & too much sugar?
Excess nutrients, even if they’re clean & healthy, are stored as fat. I get in about 2-3 servings of veggies that are in my daily Shakeology, plus 3-4 servings from my salads, wraps, & veggies in my egg whites…so ~6 servings total.
I don’t always get it right, but I never stop trying
Turbo was the Saturday workout of the day.
What about for you?
I love food, but I love fit more.
Agreed?! Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about fuel, eating right, eating ENOUGH & never missing a meal.
But I have to steer clear of finding COMFORT in food & thought maybe this is a good reminder for others in case I’m not the only one.
For my friends who love to lift & lift heavy, would you be so kind to tell my non-lifting friends WHY you love it?
If you have a Pump bar at home, have you bought more weight plates for it?
You can easily fit 30lbs on each end for your squats, one-leg lunges, shoulder presses, etc.!
