I had a great week of workouts so I wanted to share them with you. You’ll find a nice little mix of running, strength and yoga and I’m also posting a 28-minute bodyweight tabata workout that I did at home on Wednesday. I ran out of time to make it to the gym before teaching so I rolled out a mat, cranked the music and got to work. You can’t beat bodyweight tabata intervals for a quick workout you can do anywhere!

Monday

5 mile run at 8:25 pace

Beach run. 90 degrees and 70% humidity. This was pretty brutal. On SnapChat I told everyone it was like “hot running” instead of hot yoga.

Tuesday

Sunrise yoga self-practice

Two of the four mornings that I was in Florida I woke up with yoga on the brain. I’m not a first thing in the morning exerciser but something in me felt like I had to practice.

A total body tabata workout that can be done anywhere with no equipment in under 30 minutes!

Wednesday 

Tabata home workout

Read this post for all the info on why and how to tabata.

Thursday

3.2 mile treadmill interval run + strength

This was my birthday workout! I did a Skyfit treadmill interval workout with lots of sweaty hills and sprints and then some strength work. Pull ups, bench press, deadlifts, ring rows and more. I ended it with a leg press extravaganza. So good.

Friday

Hot yoga

Saturday

4.5 mile run at 8:24 pace

Run with Zoey girl. We had the most gorgeous weather in Charlotte this weekend with cool mornings and low humidity. This run felt effortless!

Sunday

3 mile treadmill interval run + strength

We stayed at the Charlotte Marriott City Center on Saturday night (more on that to come!) and their gym was an experience not to be missed. We woke up on Sunday morning and got in a great workout before brunch. You can check out one of the super sets that I did on Instagram!
