“My quads are on fire!” Sing it! As much as I want to work my legs and build those quads (and shrink the calves … BOOTS!), sometimes I dread Lower Fix (aka Leg Day). Don’t get me wrong, once it’s done I love it! It’s just the walk back downstairs immediately after that I am …
This is the final week in my first round of 21 Day Fix. So, far, I am down 5 pounds and am finally rediscovering muscles! Friday and Saturday were food “disasters.” Meaning, I may have over indulged a bit. I am human and this was a good reminder of how crappy I feel when I …
Yes, I know today isn’t Friday the 13th (in fact it’s Pi Day 3.14!), but it is Day 13 of the 21 Day Fix … Dirty 30! This particular workout is challenging, but it is my favorite! I think it is my favorite because it is challenging and a total body workout. Practically every single …
This morning, I wanted to stay curled up in bed with the fiancé and the pets – all 3 boys looked so warm and cozy. Even as I got up, put on my workout clothes and drank my pre-workout, I was negotiating a rest day with myself. I can double up on Saturday or do …
Today marks the halfway point of my first round of 21 Day Fix and it was also an active recovery day, which means my sore muscles (mainly glutes and triceps) got a little rest and stretch. By rest, I mean they only had to lift their own weight rather than added weights. I do not mean …
So, remember me mentioning I upped my weights for Upper Fix yesterday? Yeah? Feeling it today!! Luckily, today was Lower Fix (aka LEG DAY!!), so my poor little (teeny tiny) triceps got a bit of a rest. They still worked, holding up the weights for squats, lunges and more squats and lunges. After Lower Fix, …
Sunday was Day 8 – which also meant the start of the second week of 21 Day Fix and my second Total Body Cardio – whew! Total Body Cardio is no JOKE! Like Day 1, I was dripping is sweat and my legs were a bit wobbly as I waddled down stairs. But … I …
Typically, I dread the “yoga” day in any workout program. Let’s be completely honest here – my balance is TERRIBLE and my flexibility, well, let’s just say it peaked in second grade (I used to rock that little box that you had to push the dial forward on – whatever it was called). But today …
Dirty 30 … I had envisioned all sorts of pain and torture with this one. The name is just so … daunting! But, I survived and felt the oh so good muscle burn. My left quad is killing me – likely from being used more in 6 days than it has in my entire life! …
21 Day Fix Day 5 … Cardio Fix. Today was a little challenging – I know everyone says it, but burpees can suck it! But, as Autumn likes to remind me (every day, I might add), “you can do anything for 60 seconds.” I might disagree when it comes to burpees, but I pushed through …
