10 Minute Workout!

Posted on by

Good morning!

Today is officially MOVING DAY for us!

I’ve got a 10 minute workout for you at the end of this post, but first an update on the move and workouts for the week!

We’ve been neck-deep in boxes for the last few days, so I’m definitely ready to stop living like a hoarder! I keep saying I don’t know how hoarders do it. Walking around boxes, creating pathways to get to different rooms…it’s making my head spin! I’m definitely excited to get back to normal, although a NEW normal since we’ll be in a new apartment.

Workouts for the Last Week (5/6-5/13/15)

Wednesday: Rest Day

Thursday: Legs + Boxing

Friday: Chest/Shoulders + 10 Minute Conditioning (see below)

Saturday: Hike/Trail Run

Sunday: Packing boxes!!

Monday: Back/Biceps + 10 Minute Conditioning

Tuesday: Glute-Focused Leg Day

Wednesday: Chest/Shoulders

I’ve been tacking on a 10 minute workout for conditioning purposes to the end of my strength training workouts lately. I absolutely love it! It’s the perfect way to finish a workout, and gives me a great extra sweat and burn!

Here’s one of the 10 minute workouts I’ve been doing:

After my move, I’m heading to the BLEND Retreat in Boulder, CO, so I’ll be back with TONS of pictures and adventures on Monday!

Friday the 13th, Conditioning, and a Birthday!

Posted on by

Good morning, friends!

Is it just me or have there been a LOT of Friday the 13th’s lately? Maybe I’m just noticing them more? Anyways, I kind of like it. 🙂

13_1

This morning I rolled out of bed to do some conditioning. It is sooo hard for me to get out of bed to workout these days. I can’t believe I used to work out at 5am every day! I’m sure if I tried, I could get back in that routine, but I actually really like my afternoon/evening weight lifting sessions too! Ah, getting older.

My Birthday

Speaking of getting older, I celebrated my 27th birthday on Tuesday. It was actually one of the best birthdays I’ve had in a while. I have the best friends, family, boyfriend and co-workers anyone could ask for. They made me feel super special!

IMG_7120I had to work on my birthday, but I took a break to get a great back workout in, too!

  • Pull Ups
  • T-Bar Rows
  • Cable Rows
  • Straight Arm Pulldowns
  • Close Grip Pulldowns

Birthday pull-ups! Kinda sloppy, but I'm working on getting these bad boys more strict. 3 sets of 4 today.It’s funny how simple things become much more fulfilling as you get older. I couldn’t think of a single gift I wanted this year, but just wanted to spend my day with the people (and furry creatures) I love, doing what I love…and I got just that!

IMG_7162I didn’t even get mad that Oscar tried to steal my balloon. 😉

Anyways, back to today.

Here’s what I did for my conditioning:

KB Clean & Snatch Combo (4 sets of 8 reps each)

Barbell Complex (4 sets)

I’ll have a full post on barbell complexes in the next week. They are a GREAT way to get the heart rate up without having to do standard cardio. Stay tuned!

I’ve got a bunch of work to do today (it seems to just keep piling on), and then I’m headed to the studio tonight to set up for an all-day session tomorrow. It should be fun!

I’m really looking forward to Sunday to just relax a bit. I’m hoping to get a hike and/or leg workout in and then just lounge around the rest of the day. Sounds like a perfect day to me! 🙂

In the works…

-I’ve got a few ebooks I’m working on at the moment that I can’t wait to release! Details to come soon!

Q: Do you hate the #13? Love it?

I love it!! I guess that’s the “metal” in me. 🙂
