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),…
Running Injury Verdict + HIIT Like a Boss Workout
Before I share my latest High Intensity Interval Training circuit workout, I have a little running update for you. First of all, I hate to keep vaguely talking about my “knee problem,” so I’m going to do a quick little summary of why I can’t run, update you on what the doctor told me last…
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…
Get Low Circuit + My Favorite Things
It’s been awhile since I shared a workout on here. This may have something to do with me not working out consistently in quite awhile, but that’s beside the point… So I’m happy to be sharing a fresh new circuit workout as part of today’s list of favorites. I did this a couple days ago,…
A Workout Using Only Stairs
Since getting back into a fitness routine this past week, I’ve been playing around with my old circuit workouts, as well as trying new things. Monday, I completed my Dumbbell Circuit, and my thighs are still causing me to walk like a weirdo. Tuesday, I did both my Get Ripped Ab Circuit and Max-Rep Pushups…
No-Equipment Buddy Workout
In honor of tomorrow being Valentine’s Day, I’ve created a partner workout for you to do with a woman or man friend in your life. Although Matt and I don’t usually do the same workouts, it can be fun sometimes to join forces and push each other to work harder (exhibit a: P90X). We did…
My Top 5 Favorite Circuit Workouts
I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t revisit old posts enough. I use my old recipes and workouts all the time for reference, but I figured I should revisit some oldies that I consider goodies just in case you people are not aware. Since the beginning of Gettin’ My Healthy On, I have posted…
Work That Derriere Circuit Workout + My Childhood Dreams Are Coming True
Before I discuss my childhood dreams, I wanted to share a workout I did on Friday. I have several full-body circuit workouts from the past, but sometimes I like mixing and matching workouts to make a full-body workout. Other times, I like focusing on just one area. I suppose it’s just nice to have options…
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…
I Donated My Hair
I’ve been looking forward to this past weekend for-EV-ER. You don’t even understand. I enjoyed having really long hair, but it was such a pain. My life just became 10,000 times easier. After having 8” cut off to donate, I decided to take it a step further and get some bangs. Not quite sure how…
Grapes and Being Ungraceful
Grapes I feel the need to share a completely pointless part of my day with you. Like I said in my post about using overripe fruit, I am really good at picking out bad fruit. Well, last night I bought some grapes at Wal-Mart, and they are the best grapes I have ever had in…
Dumbbell Circuit + Protein Spinach Smoothie
I channeled my inner Popeye today—I lifted some weights and drank a bunch of spinach. For a new workout routine, I created a circuit revolving around dumbbell exercises. Since I only have 2 sets of dumbbells: 5lb and 8lb weights were what I used. You can adjust the weights to better suit your level. Sometimes…
Healthy Food Swaps and Additions
Sometimes you just need some ice cream. Last night I felt this need and went to the freezer to see what was hiding. Enter Double Fudge Brownie Ice Cream. I got it out, plus a small bowl, banana, yogurt, and dark chocolate chips. This is my collection of goodies that make a little bit of…
I Got Jacked Up and Then Ate Soup
Is that a weird enough title to make you wonder what I’ve been up to today? If yes, then that was my goal! I got “jacked up” this morning when I did a crazy circuit workout. I was jumping all over the place and doing lots of “jack” exercises. Look at the cardio circuit, and you’ll…
