Workout of the Day
I'm going to be posting really fun workouts and really yummy, clean recipes. Please let me know what you think of everything!
WOD (workout of the day):
Five times through (as fast as you can of course) :)
10 reps of each exercise
- Overhead squats w/bar only
- Push up rows 10lb dumbbells (one push up, one row per arm=one rep)
- Kettle bell swings 30lb kettle bell (dumbbell if you dont have one)
- Dips (on assisted pull up machine preferably)
- Single dumbbell snatch 15-25lb dumbbell (one arm at a time).
- Squat jumps
- Knees to elbows (hang on pull-up bar and bring your knees to your elbows)
Good luck!

Hi Michaela! Great Stuff! I love the recipe's and will try to make some as I find time. Also great ideas for the workout! I'm starting Zumba tonight..and will do that 4x a week. Then trying to hit some weight training a few times a week as well. Thanks for the workout plan. I may have some questions! cool blog! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteJust thought you should know that you are crazy amazing!!! I wish I could be as motivated as you. So I have a question maybe you wouldn't mind helping me with. I have always wanted to start running but I can honestly only run a mile and run out of gas. I can do it as many times a week as I want but as soon as a mile hits my legs (and lungs) give up. Any tips to build up distance? Thanks for any help! You rock!
ReplyDeleteHey girl! Thank you for the compliment, that's really nice. :) And I'm so happy you like my blog! Good work on the running! Things that have helped me increase my mileage are definitely the following
ReplyDelete-Good music: do you have any music that motivates you to run further? Sometimes it helps me to just make it through a couple extra songs
-A workout partner: if you run with someone that pushes you to work harder sometimes the competitive spirit in me will make up for the rest and I can push myself harder. It helps to distract my mind if anything!
-Interval training: Go to the track once or twice a week and do 1.5-2 miles by running one lap (a littler faster than usual) and then walking one lap, and repeat until you have hit your mileage. This will increase your muscle endurance and hopefully make it easier to do more miles
-Run one mile, walk as long as you need to after (5-10 minutes) then run another mile. If you do this it might be easier to do two miles. Sometimes you just need a mental break!
I hope one of these will help! Let me know how things go, I would love to hear about your progress! Good luck!
