Well, today is the last day of the Tone It Up Bikini Series! It’s been a fun eight weeks and I’m sad to see it come to an end. I’m already in the habit of working out regularly and trying to eat as clean as possible, so for me it’s not a lifestyle change, but I love getting to try all the new workouts! Truthfully, I went rogue with the schedule a bit this week. I always do that toward the end of programs — I guess I have trouble with follow through. Oh, well! I start training for my next race soon, so this week I tried to crack down on “training for my training”.

Sunday was my PiYo day. I completed the “Drench” workout and it kicked my tail. Think down dog splits into flipped dogs. My hips were FEELING it on Monday. But in a good way. 🙂

This week, I started a new strength program, Lauren Gleisberg’s Home Weight Training Plan. I’ve followed her on Instagram for a couple of years, but never really looked into her programs, so I finally decided to give it a try. She divides her upper body in push/pull splits which I love. Monday was a push day, which I followed with a plank workout (also by Lauren Gleisberg), and a 40 minute run.

Leg day! And my first “heavy” one in quite some time. The program compiles legs, HIIT, and abs together to really getcha sweat going.

My husband had the morning off, so I elected to do my 5k on the treadmill, so I could hang out with him for a few hours. I also completed a weighted abs workout by, you guessed it, Lauren Gleisberg. I have a pretty weak core and I want to focus on strengthening it for my upcoming long runs, so I’m adding in a lot of extra ab work in the coming weeks.

Rest day. I actually spent the entire morning in an HR meeting, which meant my booty was glued to a chair for hours. Not my favorite way to spend a rest day!

Friday was pull on my new program and I loved it! After hubby left for work, I squeezed in a few ab circuits and headed out for 4 miles before it got too blasted hot. It was still blasted hot and at some point hit about 111 degrees. What the what?!
Saturday, 6/17/17:
I rounded out the week with a 24 minute HIIT workout using Lauren Gleisberg’s 30×30 Fat Loss Shred. I always say “Oh, I love HIIT!” But then I do one and find myself struggling to make it through the intervals and I’m like, “Wait… I don’t love this.” But at the end of the day, I totally do!
That was my week in workouts — full and fun, just the way I like it. I hope you stick around for the fun stuff I have coming up. I’m sharing some tips and gear for running in the heat AND my summer reading list. But first, I have to share my adorable new shoes with you. They’re Nike Tanjun Shoes from Academy Sports + Outdoors. They’re perfect for all my non-running workouts. And the best part — they were only $50. I would buy them in all the colors (I love the gray!), but my husband might not appreciate that. 😉
Question: Do you always follow through with your programs, or do you tend to go rogue?
Linking up with HoHo Runs, Mississippi Piddlin, and Run and Live Happy for Weekly Wrap. I’m also linking up with Run Mommy Run and Salads 4 Lunch for #MotivateMe Monday.
I love your new shoes! I’m like that when I find a pair I like I want them in every color! It sounds like you had a great week of working out. I’m going to look up Lauren’s programs! I am not so good at following through. I will stick to a program really well in the beginning, but then not so well at the end. I don’t know why?? I hope you have a great week!
Thank you! I hope you do too!!
I love all of your workouts! I tend to follow “new” workouts as written…but after I get familiar with them, I tend to modify them 😉
Yep, I’m right there with you!!
Cute shoes!
I’ll try to stick to the program if i’m training for something specific.
Me too–but I get distracted so easily!
I’m bad about starting a program, let alone stick to one. 😉 I’m beginning to loathe those days when my butt is glued to a chair! It makes for an achy hips and glutes. Those shoes look lightweight! Thanks for linking with us on the Weekly Wrap!
Thanks for having me! I will be back!! 😉
