Hope everyone has enjoyed the weekend. Rainy weather yesterday brought in some cooler weather. It’s currently 79 and low humidity and it’s amazing. A welcome change after two weeks of 98-100 degree days. I’m going to head out for a run and soak up the sunshine after I publish this post.
Here’s my recap of this week’s workouts along with two new workouts for you to try out yourself! One is a strength workout and the other is more of a bodyweight cardio CrossFit style workout. I did a good job with alternating yoga and run/lift days this week. Still want to up the strength work a little more but overall happy with how things are going and feeling.
Monday
Hot yoga
Tuesday
3 mile run + strength
3 rounds:
20 back squats, first 10 drop and hold for 3 count and second 10 to a 2/2 pace (65#)
10 band assisted pull ups
15 chest flies (15#)
20 kettlebell deadlifts (35#) – check out this video demonstration. This is a great alternative to barbell deadlifts.
15 tricep dips
10 overhead press (15#)
10 bicep curls (15#)
10 plate chops, each side (15#) – check out this video demonstration by one of our trainers…this is a GREAT oblique exercise

Wednesday
Hot yoga
Thursday
CrossFit
4 rounds for time:
400 meter run
20 burpee box jumps – more about burpee box jumps in this post
20 sit ups
20 wall balls
I self-programmed this cardio heavy WOD. It was long and tough. It took me over 28 minutes to finish. A great modification would be to do 10 burpee box jumps instead of 20 because they took over 2 minutes each round.

Friday
3.5 mile run
Saturday
Hot yoga
Sunday
3 mile run + teach Total Strength
I teach a once monthly rotation at the Y. I love it! I’ll post whatever workout I program for y’all later this week.
And that’s all I’ve got for ya. Happy sweating! As always, let me know if you have questions or feedback on anything! 🙂

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a month since I ran the Every Woman’s Marathon! One of the fun things about this year’s race was getting to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first time in Arizona and while it was a quick trip, I tried to maximize my time there. Here’s a [...]

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]
