Lunges!

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 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!) 🙂

Leg Day!

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!

Who wants buns that defy gravity?

bunsThere was a lot more but not possible to fit it into 15 seconds. And no, I’m not lifting super heavy here..still being careful & building up strength since my glute/hamstring injury is not 100% yet.

Happy Friday!

Gave my legs & glutes a break today from heavy weights so some stuff from Piyo Buns was perfect.

Hard work beats bad geneticsI’m not saying it’s easy. I’m just saying it’s doable & well worth your time.

Stick with it for the person you will become in the process #nevergiveup

Can you do a handstand?

Can you do a handstandCan you do a handstand? What about a 1-handed handstand?

My plan was to take a picture doing a one-handed handstand until I realized I can’t do one. I was inspired to TRY thanks to my good friend @mindylawhorne ! But she makes them look easy!
