It’s day one of the third and final phase of the LiveFit Trainer bodybuilding program. Boo ya! A lot has changed since the first phase, which I’m talking about in my recap below. You can check out my LiveFit Phase 1 Recap if you want to read more about my journey in weight lifting. It’s…
9 Tips for Eating More Protein + Premier Protein Giveaway {Closed}
Thank you to Premier Protein for sponsoring this post and giveaway! Disclaimer: I was sent Premier Protein bars and shakes for free to review—all opinions are my own. Over the past two months, I’ve been in “Operation: Acquire Lady Muscles,” as I’ve been following the LiveFit bodybuilding program (currently finishing up phase 2 of 3…hollerrrrr)….
LiveFit Phase 1 Recap
And just like that I’m done with the first 4 weeks of Jamie Eason’s LiveFit Trainer program! I actually got 5 friends to follow it with me (including Matt), so I consider that a major win. 😉 I wasn’t planning to post a lot about this, beyond an intro before I started and a recap…
Travel Workout for Upper Body and Core
Now that we’re well on our way into the holiday season, what better time than now to share a no-equipment workout?! I’m all about circuits that only require my bodyweight because you can do them anytime, anywhere (and despite my weight loss story on Friday, I’ve got lots of weight left to strengthen my muscles…
Do Anywhere Workout – 300 or 600 Reps
Happy Friyay!! We survived another week, and I feel like I’ve really earned this weekend. The fact that I had a three-day work week is beside the point. 😉 It may have taken me longer than planned to restart my workout schedule after taking a break (36 days to be exact, not that anyone’s counting),…
4-Minute Plank Workout
When you workout, do you usually shoot for a specific amount of time? Depending on the activity I’m doing, I might vary it up, but for the most part, I try to go for four minutes 30 minutes to an hour. Anything shorter tends to feel lacking, and going longer eats up too much of…
7 Ways to Motivate Yourself to Workout (When It’s the Last Thing You Want to Do)
Every once in awhile, a friend will talk to me about their fitness habits or ask me for advice. My response usually consists of an excited rant about how great working out is and then giving them way too much advice. At which point I’m reminded of how good it is I started this blog…
Leap Day Workout
Happy Leap Day! Thanks to the extra day in February this year, we all get 24 more hours to do great things and be amazing. …Yes, let’s go with that. In honor of this special event, I created a leap-inspired workout circuit to liven up your day. It has a BUNCH of new exercises that…
Lower Abs Workout
Comin’ at you with a burn-so-good core workout today! In my opinion, the most satisfying post-workout soreness is when your abs hurt. Why? Because I find it to be the most difficult area to work to the point of soreness. This might have something to do with my exercise form getting a bit “off” when…
Jump Around Full Body Workout Circuit
After spending last week at home in Illinois for Thanksgiving and doing my best to keep working out while traveling, I decided to jump right back into my normal routine with this shiny new circuit. Since our house has been hella cold lately, I wanted a workout that would warm me up fast, so I…
Strong Arms and Legs Workout + My Favorite Things
I’ve discovered the ideal time span for a workout: about 30 minutes, aka the amount of time it takes to finish an episode of Friends. Boom. After work yesterday, I wasn’t feeling any of my past workouts, so I created a new one that works the upper and lower body, and it conveniently took as…
Lower Body Blast Workout Circuit
It never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to lose all workout motivation after you’ve taken one too many days off. Excuses of why you don’t need to workout today are everywhere, and I’ve been listening a bit too often lately. But no mas! I’m determined to get back into my much-needed sweat…
So Fit & So Lean Workout + My Favorite Things
As promised on Instagram Monday, I have a workout to share today! I decided to create this full body dumbbell circuit after wanting/needing a change of pace. They say, “Never miss a Monday workout,” and that was one of my goals for my new weekly workout schedule, so a new routine was exactly what I…
10 No-Equipment Workout Routines
I’m a firm believer that you don’t need a gym membership to get fit. If it helps you to have the equipment available at a gym, plus a dedicated place to workout, then keep on keepin’ on. But I’m all about making use of your own body weight and just finding a small space to…
My New Weekly Workout Schedule
So I’ve decided to cut the crap and finally make this consistent workout schedule thing a reality. I made a goal in my wedding fitness plan to workout five to six days a week, and needless to say, that has not been happening…until now. Over the past five years, as I’ve gotten much more into…
