What a workout! My quads were screaming at me as I left the gym today. I went to “the circuit” and got in plenty of cardio and strength. I partnered with my aunt and we worked everything!
The breakdown:
Equipment Used:
- bosu
- body bars
- dumbbells
- Pilates balls
- steps
- weighted bars
Stations:
- lunge kickbacks w/15 lb. bar
- jump shots on step w/3 lb. ball
- “skiing”
- tricep dips
- pushups/squats on the bosu
- chest press w/weighted bar
- “skaters”
- frog squats
- bosu run
- biceps curls on the bosu w/12 lb. dumbbells
- mountain climbers/jump squats
- upright rows w/15 lb. bar
- shoulder flies w/7.5 lb. dumbbells
- jumping jacks/wacky jacks
We went through the stations twice, tweaked some along the way, and ended with ten minutes of abs. I worked hard and left with tired legs.
As soon as I got home, I whipped up my favorite post-workout snack: THE GREEN MONSTER!
Sooo refreshing!
I threw a little of this into the mix…
- handful of spinach
- banana
- cup of vanilla soymilk
- frozen mango
- scoop of Amazing Grass Green Superfood
- ice
Let the magic happen!
Who needs a Vita-Mix?! I’ve got me a Magic Bullet! It works its magic on my smoothies everyday. Notice, the bullet is blending but the banana is still on the counter. I always blend my spinach and milk before adding the other ingredients. It seems to help the process along when working with this high-tech gadget!
My smoothie was soooo delish! It really got me ready to take on the day.
After sipping chugging my smoothie, I headed out to Target in search of a black turtleneck. I had no luck yesterday and hoped Target would have something reasonable. Nada! But like anyone who steps foot in that store, I managed to leave with some loot.
I’m super excited about my finds!
- hand grater
- 18-pk mini Luna Bars – $5.60!!
- shampoo & conditioner
- multigrain pita chips
- Food Rules by Michael Pollan – I love him and can’t wait to read this during my week off!
I came home from Target ready for a light lunch. I put together a snacky platter of everything I was craving.
green peppers, carrots, hummus with a side of pita chips
and a sweet ending!
I’m sure this afternoon will be draining. I am preparing to say goodbye to a friend and support my loved ones as they do the same. I hope to be reminded of many good memories, while finding a sense of closure in all of this.
Enjoy your Sunday and spread love.
