I did 2 rounds but only YOU know your own fitness level & where to modify. Warm-up first

20 tucks on #TRX or #StabilityBall

20 straight leg lifts (w/weight or med ball)

20 Mtn Climbers on #TRX or with #PiYoSliders

20 bicycle abs (right +left =1)

20 crunches on tailbone (knees up)

20 oblique (alternating sides) tucks on TRX or using piyo strength plates/sliders

If you need ongoing workouts to do at home, message me on Facebook or KIK me for advice on what would be the best program for you, given your goals.

 

Strength or Cardio?

/in , /by

Strength or CardioOnly 30 min to workout.. What will you choose? Strength or Cardio??

How about both? In that situation, I do an interval workout.. 2 min High Intensity of some cardio followed by a minute or so of strength.

Fitness is about never giving upAgreed??

You’re going to have your weak moments & off days, the key is to identify what caused it so you can avoid the situation/environment next time, but pick yourself up mentally to re-commit.

You have to do it for YOU!

Triceps are My Favorite

/in , /by

Triceps are my FavoriteTriceps are my favorite!! This is just a glimpse! And yes, I know I was swinging too much on those triceps kickbacks I think I had video adrenalin 🙂  Btw, this was sped up to fit it all in.. The actual lifting was slower & in control to isolate 🙂

Lunges!

LungesClick image to play video:  WARNING: Music Plays 🙂

Lunges work your booty like no other. I’m just doing front-racked lunges to help me keep my chest up but you can do them with the bar on your back or dumbbells in hand. Touch your back knee to the floor on each rep.

3-4 sets of 8-16 reps a couple times a week if you’re “all about that bass”
(The song that’s playing).

And frame 2 is there because I can finally do Kipping pull-ups & I’m excited (even though some will make fun of them saying they’re not the same as REAL pull-ups ..and no one would argue that they are the same) & the 3rd frame has no point 🙂

Kipping Handstand Push-ups

kipping(Click image to play video.)

Kipping handstand push-ups .. Just learned how to do these; no idea if these are considered LEGIT. They look easy but they get exhausting (in my opinion)

Btw, on the floor under my head, I’ve placed a 25lb weight plate with an ab mat on top of it & I start by doing a headstand. Don’t try them unless you can do a headstand, a handstand & push-ups on your feet.

Always warmup first & remove shoes if you’re concerned about marking your walls (OR putting a giant hole in the wall…never mind.. maybe just DON’T try these!) 🙂

Working…

Ok now, take it easy on the criticism my fitfriends..I work on these because they’re 1 of my many weaknesses.. i.e. I’m not pretending to be the model of clean and SplitJ erk proper form.. But if you’re like me, you like to see actual WORK not just pics!

Leg Day!

/in , , /by

Leg DayLEG DAY!! Do you LOVE or HATE?

My injury is about 80% now so I’m working my way back up to heavier weights. If you’re NEW to lifting, don’t know proper form & therefore need to follow form & cues from a trainer, I recommend my sister’s CLX or PUMP.. BodyBeast if you’re ready for the next level If you don’t have weights, sculpt #PiYo !

  • Weighted Lunges
  • Leg Extensions
  • Weighted Sumo Squats
  • Side Steps w/a resistance band
  • Weighted traditional Squats
  • Bridge lifts
  • Deadlifts
  • Jumping lunges w/med ball…

Just to name a few
I prefer to do ~3 sets of each & 8-20 reps (depending on the exercise & if I’m at a new heavy weight or not).

Warmup first & follow with cardio if you have time (like 15min #TurboFire HIIT, PiYoSweat, T25, or Run)

Don’t forget to stretch afterwards!
