Ab Work- Love or hate?

I’m SO sore today from a leg day Thursday followed by yesterday’s 16.5 (see last post), so today was just abs + fasted LISS (low intensity steady-state cardio). I rode my spin bike with low resistance & fasted means I did it first thing in the a.m. with no food prior, just Energize‬). I only do fasted cardio if I’m NOT doing an intense workout and/or NOT lifting – I personally need fuel for that. So I really rarely do fasted cardio.

WOD 16.5

WOD_16.5Would you do it!???

Not a happy face when I heard this was the WOD cuz this workout was no joke!!! But I loved it! I just do crossfit casually a few times a week mainly just to fit in a short intense HIIT workout with friends, & to challenge myself in different ways (i.e. it’s a supplemental thing I do for fun-yes, this stuff is fun to me), but this is one that took me 18minutes & is one you can do at home!

 

🏻Competitive crossfitters like Camille Leblanc-Bazinet do it in HALF that time! If you don’t have a barbell that you could load up to 65 lbs, then try the thrusters with your Dumbbells like we do in 22-Minute Hard Corps! Choose a weight that suits you because this ends up totaling 84 reps of Thrusters & 84 reps of bar-facing burpees!!  SO BE IN TUNE WITH HOW YOU FEEL.

Results May Vary Depending on Effort

Results vary Based on effortSomeone will unlike my page for this post & that’s ok! My page wouldn’t even exist without Beachbody. Without Beachbody, I’d still be sitting at a desk from 8am to 6 or 7pm at night ..yep, truth!

I know those people just don’t get this business & there was a time when *I* didn’t get it either (btw, I did a presentation explaining).

It’s legit. It’s people holding people accountable. It’s believing in someone before they believe in themselves. Success takes consistent effort over time, but it doesn’t feel like “work”.

A bunch of us on the team earned this sweet Nike “Elite Coach” jacket this week and I can’t help but reflect for a second how much Beachbody does to reward us!

How has Beachbody, or its programs or trainers like my sis, helped YOU?

Needed a Warm Up

warm upNo, this was not dinner silly! This was just an evening snack!
I was sooo chilled after my freezing cold run🏃💨 & shake tonight that I needed some hot decaf coffee (yah, with WHIP lemme have a lil fun🎉) & some hot edamame🌱!!
We had Pizza last night & I ate a ridiculous amount as I usually do.. without guilt because I rarely splurge big like that & it was planned. But today I needed to get back on track

When Things Get Tough

When Things Get ToughMy point is this… when things get tough & you make the difficult decisions and sacrifices to workout & eat right anyway, you are also showing others what’s possible despite struggles…

Your kids are watching, your parents, friends, family, co-workers, your followers..People are watching and you have an opportunity to inspire. Someone needs to take lead; let it be YOU.

What’s your soulmate workout??

I was dreading having to do my “long cardio” day (I do longer cardio about 1-2/week) & that feeling calls for TURBO👊🏼via my phone (Beachbody on Demand) ! Sometimes you just need to pump it & sweat buckets! 💦😅

Handstands Make me Feel 12 Again

A lot of what I do in fitness has nothing to do with *aesthetic* results but everything to do with *athletic* results & how it makes me FEEL. I recommend this!
