Get Ready to Get Sweaty-CardiOnly
Travel Day! Fitness is absolutely a habit for me…part of my daily routine. Today, I knocked out some steady state cardio on the elliptical after packing. Just because I will be on vacation, it does not mean I am taking a break from my health/fitness. My workout clothes are packed. My parents have a giant stair case calling my name for sprints. The Get In Shape Girl workouts will be tweaked...

Get Ready to Get Sweaty-GISG Shoulders/Arms
Lower body is still too sore from Sunday’s deck of cards. I will be out of the state and away from weights for Friday’s Shoulder/Arm workout, so I subbed it in today so I could hit the weights.
Today, I noticed striations in my delts…JUST LIKE Jamie up there! Eeeep! Today, I curled a 35# barbell. Today, I did alternating shoulder presses with 25# dumbbells. Today, I feel...

Fitspiration: Why it isn't so inspirational →
So many blogs mine included are peppered with fitspo pictures. For me, these pictures are decoration for the actual work that I am putting in for myself. My self love and self motivation comes from someplace else…and if you are relying on fitspiration for the motivation to get up and work out or eat healthy—then you are kidding yourself. Dig deep and find that within...

Considering I am JUST now getting over being sore from last week’s hamstring torture….today’s GISG workout was more booty/quad focused. I added extra weight holding a 20# KB during wall sits and curtsy lunges. Wide leg squats w/ 65# barbell….Broad Jumps holding 15# KB…oh yea..putting in the work :)

I made a big mistake in taking my vitamins right before my workout. I pushed through the whole damn thing while being dizzy, sick to my stomach, and covered in a cold sweat. I had to take several breaks to get myself together. Learned that lesson the hard way.
Finished my strength circuits with several rounds of tabata sprints on the elliptical.

Well, for being a slacker earlier in the week, I more than made up for it today. I had the time and dedicated it to making up my leg day that I skipped Wednesday and combining with my shoulders/arm routine today. Not only that, but I incorporated cardio bursts after every circuit to make for a very long and sweaty workout. Hopefully Kyra will forgive me for missing 2 workouts this week!

Today I am reminded at how important it is to get a good nights sleep. I haven’t slept well the past few nights and it is definitely catching up to me. It was hard to get up this morning…and it didn’t help that my legs are SO sore from Wednesday’s workout. Why did I force myself out of bed? BECAUSE TODAY WAS ARMS/SHOULDERS day!!! My favorite! By the end of Kyra’s...
