Gel Clings, Lean Legs, & a Free Box

It’s the first full week of December! Who has their tree up? I put up a few decorations (who else loves window gel clings?), and we put up a little pre-lit tree, so it’s starting to feel a bit Christmassy up in here.

The 60-degree weather today I’m also very okay with.

Today’s Workout: 9 miles at 1:23 – AKA, 9:13 pace. I’ll take it. It was cloudy, a little windy, and weirdly warm. Although I usually only mention my running on this blog, I did a circuit workout this past weekend and think it’s worth sharing.

I wanted do a leg workout on Saturday but couldn’t find one on my Pinterest Workout board that I liked, so I made my own! It’s pretty simple, but it’s exactly what I wanted.

The circuit workout took me about 20 minutes to do two times through. I thought about using weights, but my body weight was definitely enough. If you want to make it even more challenging, though, holding some weights would do the trick.

The Side Lunges w/ Leg Lift is newer to me, but I really like it. For any move you don’t know, check out the Exercise Guide. The workout didn’t seem insane or anything, but afterwards my legs were definitely wobbly. Sunday was my rest day, and it was a sore one, which is my favorite kind—makes me feel like the relaxing has been earned.

If I just had some compression sleeves like I mentioned on My Fitness Christmas List, maybe I could recover faster and not be so sore! Oh well. I guess I can deal with the aftermath of a good workout. 🙂

Something that wasn’t on my Christmas List, but is worth mentioning, is the Bulu Box. As a Sweat Pink Ambassador, I have a discount code for you (and me) to get a free one!

What the heck is a Bulu Box, you ask? The monthly subscription both ($10/month) includes 4-5  supplement samples. That means you can try a sample size of different products and decide if it’s worth buying in the future without risking wasting your money on the full-size version.

For a free Bulu Box, use the discount code Fit411. I already signed up for my free first box to see what this is all about. I don’t take any supplements besides a daily multivitamin but feel like I should, so we’ll see how it goes! If you’re curious but don’t want to commit, I’ll share what’s in my Bulu Box once I get it, and you can decide if it’s worth getting…for free.

Now that you understand why this post has such a strange title, I’m out! Hope you’re all having a great start to the week so far!
