Since August is almost over (how did that happen!?), it’s time for your August Workout Playlist + a super sweaty, super challenging tabata workout to go with it!
I posted this tabata workout on Instagram stories on Saturday morning and was flooded with requests to turn it into a blog post with a graphic…so here we are!
This was my first post-baby HIIT workout and it felt great. I owe y’all a postpartum fitness post. It’s been all over the place. There was one week I ran four times…then I didn’t run again for almost two weeks. I’ve made it to the gym a couple of times…and then there was this driveway workout. Most days I just walk.
That’s another post for another day. Let’s get to the details of this workout. The best thing about it is that you can do it at home with no equipment and it’s quick…just 24 minutes total of work but you will probably want to rest a minute between rounds. Even still…you’ll be done in 30 minutes!
I am REALLY appreciating the home workouts as an option with baby on board! 🙂
SUMMER TABATA WORKOUT
Here’s a post I wrote about tabata training 101. Please start there if you are not familiar with tabata intervals. It’s very helpful!
Each tabata interval has eight rounds of 20 seconds of work. You rest 10 seconds between each round. Each interval will take you four minutes total. You will alternate between the two exercises listed for each interval in this workout, so you’ll do each exercise a total of four times.
If jumping is not your thing, this workout CAN be modified to take the jumping out! It will still be very challenging.
SUMMER TABATA WORKOUT VIDEO
This is not a high tech video because I pulled it from what I filmed for IG stories but it gets the job done to demo the movements!
AUGUST WORKOUT PLAYLIST
I decided to go back into the archives for this playlist. There’s a little bit of everything!
Do you workout at home? If so, is it because you like to or because it’s what works with your schedule/current life demands?
Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]
Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
Hi and happy May! As we roll into the first full week of a new month, I have almost a month’s worth of lunch ideas for you. It’s a great mix of sandwiches, bowls, salads and wraps. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration for your midday meal! Open-faced chickpea salad sandwich on toasted [...]

YOU GUYS! It’s been SIX MONTHS since I wrote a recent eats post! (insert face screaming emoji here) These have been a mainstay on my blog for years. It’s probably my longest-running content series of all time. I have received countless comments and messages from people over the yeas about how useful they find them [...]
Hello my friends! I hope this finds you enjoying all of the beauty and fresh starts that spring has to offer (and not too much of the sneezing and wheezing). Life has been good over here. I’m very much enjoying the longer days, cool mornings and warm afternoons and gorgeous blooms. Spring is so lovely [...]
I cannot believe it’s been nearly a month since I completed Moab Run The Rocks! It’s a three-day stage race in Moab, Utah that’s put on by the same race organization, TransRockies Rockies Race Series, that I did my six-day Colorado race with back in August. TransRockies truly excels when it comes to planning and [...]
