Get Ready to Get Sweaty-GISG Tabata Circuits +...
After sleeping off last night’s Italian feast and wine, I decided to burn off some of the excess! It took me until 3 pm to work up the motivation to actually get my workout started, but like they always say—you never regret a workout! I killed it with my GISG Tabata circuits and then soaked up some 80 degree sunshine while I did running intervals outside. My legs are still...

Ahhh good old Tabata circuits. My poor quads are aching from all of the jump squats. Though not required, I did 35 min of extra HIIT on the elliptical to round out the morning workout.

Get Ready to Get Sweaty-GISG Chest/Back + HIIT
Thank god for Spring Break! I was able to sleep in until 7…take my time waking up…and knock out a 75 minute workout to kick off the week. Chest is definitely my least favorite to lift…back and shoulders are tied for first. Today, I did the perfect combination of chest/back with a little booty mixed in for good measure! Ended the workout with 30 min of HIIT…sweat dripping...
true-romance-is-dead asked: hey, so first of all, I admire so much you and your blog ! I find it very inspirational, and well, I'm 5'1, and I'm not going to lie, right now, i'm very fat... and I 've had enough, I'm going to start loosing weight. To which weight I should get? and do you have any exercise routines you recommend me? or something motivational? :) thank you so much !

Today is what I refer to as my “tank top training” day…that’s shoulders…biceps…and triceps. My favorite body parts to work are definitely shoulders and back. Today’s GISG workout was probably my favorite arm day so far…single leg high pulls with a kettle bell…a new love of skull crushers using my barbell…and of course, my favorite...

I was SO tired last night….and decided to TRY to sleep without any sleeping meds…BIG FAT FAIL FAIL FAIL. I tossed and turned all night and ended up sleeping 15 minutes past my alarm. But, I got my ass up and did my GISG workout and managed to squeeze in 15 min of cardio instead of my usual 30. No worries though, I will be making up those 15 minutes tomorrow morning :)

steffyt asked: and i was also thinking of going the get in shape girl work outs to switch up my work out. are they challenging enough and is it worth the money? how long are you work outs?
steffyt asked: love your blog! do you use a heart rate monitor and thats how you know how many calories you burned per work out? i just bought one and i feel like it is calculating my calories too high.

Get Ready to Get Sweaty-GISG Circuit Training
Finally decided to stop procrastinating and get after my workout today. Kyra, The Get in Shape Girl planned a disgusting sequence of body weight exercises that had me laying on the floor….and then whimpering..not another wall sit..PLEASE! Since I waited so late to workout, I couldn’t do my outdoor sprint work that is usually planned for Saturdays so I hopped on the elliptical for...

Get Ready to Get Sweaty-Outdoor Trail Run
Great Run today. It was a little windy at the start, but on the way back it might as well have been summer time. Temp in the low 50s, sunny, slight breeze. No pains in my shins, knees, or hips! I finished 3 minutes faster than last Sunday’s run. Ended with a nice cool down walk to soak up some more fresh air!

Get Ready to Get Sweaty-GISG Shoulders/Arms +...
Great workout this morning. I LOVE training shoulders and I’m so glad my injury appears to be 95% recovered. I still get a tweak or sharp pain if I’m not SUPER careful with my form. I am going a little lighter on the weights to make sure I don’t re injure myself. I used 12s and 15s today to train…and I was using 20lbs plus with a barbell. Slow and steady increasing...
