Ab workout – to the beat!
Ab work to the beat = more fun right??? 
Build the muscle and burn the fat!
I hear all the time .. “I want to build *lean* muscle” … well muscle IS lean body mass; there is no such thing as building fat muscles. 
Build the muscle & burn the fat. I know, easier said than done!
And yeah, sometimes this means the scale will play tricks on you as your body composition is changing (as you start to gain muscle & lose fat).
So take pics, measure & be patient
. And yes, building muscle helps burn the fat faster (because the more muscle you have, the more fat you burn
).
How To: Push-ups
Ok, permission to brag…. How many push-ups can you do consecutively?!
If you or someone you know struggles to do push-ups on their feet, please share…
1. Work on push-ups from the knees
2. Then progress to being on your toes & lowering down SLOWLY (building strength on the eccentric portion of the movement is key) then switch to your knees to push back up & repeat.
3. Then try a combo of hand release push ups & on-your-toes push-ups until you can do a full set on your toes 
HITT Workout: Booty & Legs
A quick HIIT that works the booty and legs! 3 times thru!! 10 second break between rounds (your Tricep Dips and push-ups are your active recovery).
Would you give it a shot & let me know your feedback???
I also did a biceps & triceps lift sesh
(include warmup, cooldown & stretch
).
Killer Workout Today!
My workout killed me today
! 10 rounds of these two! Is there a lifting exercise any more taxing than a Thruster?! 
Happy Friday fit fam! What’s the plan for your workout tomorrow??
We cannot take our health or life for granted
Sooo sore today from doing my own leg day workout (search #jenelleslegday on IG) with Jen yesterday that when I did Turbo 40, I had to force myself to make it thru even 20 minutes 
& then I figured that was good enough cardio for the day.
I just wanted to at least be warmed up enough to do a massive stretch sesh. My glutes felt like they had metal plates in them & my legs felt like bricks.
I wanted to stop
5 minutes in but then I thought of all the exercisers out there who are injured, handicapped, have genetic debilitating conditions, are recovering from something, etc & they fight thru it. So I just did what I could. I can only IMAGINE what some people go thru daily.
I talked to an incredible woman last night who suffers DAILY to do the most minor things
, but she still modifies thru her BB workouts – such an inspiration! It’s like my dad, he lost his leg in a motorcycle accident; things we do daily will always be a struggle for him. But he doesn’t complain & he does SO much!
I’m just reminding myself & others, we really CANNOT take any part of our health or life for granted. It’s true that what you take for granted daily, someone else is praying for
.
Don’t Skip Strength Training!
Music is back on this time.. cool??
And just a reminder, don’t skip legday or strength training in general! You quickly LOSE muscles you don’t use!
Lost muscle is what causes a slower metabolism & sagging body parts 
!
But most importantly, strength training leads to confidence, bone health, injury prevention, & keeps you feeling, looking & functioning at your best
16 Minute HIIT
Tag a friend and do it tomorrow at the gym??
I did a mini version of my “jenelleslegday” before this HIIT. So ~30 minutes lower body lifting + this
Chest + Abs
This is a great no-gym-required chest & core workout if I do say so myself!
Yes??
“Reps until failure” means you do the # of reps that is very challenging for YOU. Everyone is at a different stage of their fitness journey so it’s going to be individual as to what # of reps is effective yet safe when just using body weight.
The last rep for each exercise should be tough enough that you’re making faces 
& possibly cussing but still able to keep good form.
As always, warm up first, modify as needed & stretch after
Go-to for total body strength & cardio…in under 30 min
What’s your go-to for total body strength & cardio ..in under 30 min ?!
If you don’t have access to a rower, any other cardio that you can do all out for 1 min will work (spinning, jump rope, front/back/side kicks, there & back sprint, elliptical, etc)
This is a great one if you just need a quick cardio & strength all in one (takes ~20 min) but don’t need to kill yourself & don’t need an intense lifting day. Do an extra interval of 30 Russian Twists with med ball
🏀 (right + left = 2) for extra credit points
