My Weekend and Workouts to Try!
Good morning friends! Here’s to a great and productive week!
I had a pretty great weekend. It was a mix of work/relaxation, but that was just what needed to happen. I have a lot on my plate and sometimes taking a Saturday to get some work done makes me much less stressed out. I have a hard time taking a break when there is SO much to do. Hoping this lightens my week a bit.
Even still, I was able to get a lot of work done and STILL just relax.
Listen to this! Friday night, as we were driving home from our friend’s house, we saw this:
This was a CRAZY fire with tons of explosions. I was freaking out. They finally got it under control, but holy cow it was massive! That is definitely the biggest fire I’ve ever seen. I have a new respect for fire fighters for SURE. I was about a 1/2 mile away from this and it was scary even from afar. I can’t imagine having to go right into it! Thankfully, I don’t think anyone was hurt.
Last week’s workouts:
Wednesday: Since Tuesday was spent filming, I took it a bit easy on Wednesday. I walked on the treadmill for about 20 minutes just to shake my muscles out. I was pretty sore and tired, but it felt good to move a little bit. Sneak peek below!
Thursday: I was planning to take a boxing class, but things changed and I ended up just doing a full body workout. I felt REALLY GOOD in this workout. I ended up doing supersets of the following:
-Deadlifts & Chin Ups (4 supersets and 1 extra set of deadlifts)
-DB Shoulder Press & KB Swings (3 supersets)
-DB Step Ups & Jumping Step Ups (one leg at a time, meaning I did 15 DB step ups and went right into 15 Jumping step ups before moving on to my other leg. It is definitely a leg BURNER) (2 supersets)
Friday: Crossfit- We’re prepping to do Murph at the end of the month, so the workout we did was geared towards working up to that. We did:
20 min. AMRAP
400m Run
10 Pull Ups
20 Push Ups
30 Squats
I made it through 2 rounds and 5 additional pull ups. Killer!!!
Saturday: Rest
Sunday: Chest & Legs w/ Charlie
We did:
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 reps
KB Goblet Squats
KB Swings
Barbell Bench Press
It was a great workout and took us exactly 32 minutes!

When it comes to fitness, what do you consider yourself?
Beginner? Moderate Fitness? Fitness Freak? Athlete?
I train with the mindset of an athlete, but in reality, I’m probably at a moderate to advanced fitness level. I know this, but keeping the athlete mindset definitely helps me push myself.
