Busy busy today!! But I fit everything in as best I could! I have SO much more freedom-of-schedule now that I coach full time but I still struggle with time management, some days more than others. I still sometimes struggle with trying to take on too much
! How about you?
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??
Workout done !
Wasn’t in the mood to do it but more-so wasn’t in the mood to regret NOT doing it
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
.
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 
What was your workout today??
I just did one round of this today, in addition to my lifting, but I’d say most of you would want to do 2-3 rounds! One round takes 10 minutes (duh obviously
)
If you don’t have access to a rower, do a 1-min sprint or 1-minute of mountain climbers instead (anything that drives your heart rate up in 1 minute). Always warmup first 
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
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
If it’s a CARDIO day, what’s your preferred workout?
You already know my favorite! BUT.. did you know I didn’t really like Turbo at first?! Nope! I went to Chalene’s class & I felt awkward doing it. I was teaching a very drill-style kickboxing at the time & I’m a bit stubborn to try new things
.
What a mistake it would’ve been to not try it a few more times! 
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
