Pinterest Told me to Workout

Ok seriously. I was gone for 12 days. I worked out twice during those 12 days. I felt like I was starting from scratch this week. It's crazy how fast your body will curl back into its turtle shell. Never again. Ha.

Anyway, I'm back at it.

Tuesday, I attended a class at the gym called Bodypump. If you haven't gone to one of those... you should. It is a total full body workout and I love it. I'm still sore. 

Yesterday, I went back to one of my trusted treadmill interval workouts from toneitup, only I didn't do the inclines. I love the short sprints in the middle of this one. This is a great workout, but if you are a beginner, definitely lower the speeds before trying it out. Make it work for you! 

Have you seen that Target has a sale on the C9 gear? This is seriously my favorite workout tank. I own the lime green one. It's $19.99 this week. I love the built it sports bra and it offers plenty of support. I may have to go pick up a black one this week. 

On a side note: I'm not an affiliate of Target, but I should be! I shop there WAY to much! 

Finally, I'm toying with the idea of making this weekly series into a link up. Anyone interested in posting their Pinterest workouts with me?? 

Pinterest Told Me to Workout

After a weekend Bachelorette party, a girl needs a good run on the treadmill. Or a good workout period.

 I love running intervals and this one kicked my butt!

The intervals are nice and short. Which means the high speeds don't last long, but you also don't have long cool downs in-between runs. I definitely worked up quite the sweat with this one. I will be checking out He and She Eat Clean for more workouts and you should too!

It's been a little bit since I've done a fitness post on here. But I promise you I have been keeping up with my fitness routine. After four weeks of meeting with a trainer, I decided to save the $55 per session and go at it by myself for a while. What better place to turn than to Pinterest?

So I've decided to start a new weekly series called "Pinterest Told me To Workout."

I'm going to take workout ideas we've all seen floating around Pinterest, haunting us right next to those chocolate covered donuts, and try them out.

Then I'll post it on here, triumphs and fails.

This week I tried out a new one. I have always had "love handles" so when I saw a "Lose Your Love Handles" workout I had to try it .

I have to admit, this was a pretty good workout. It did take about 20 minutes to get through it three times. Each section is timed for a minute (or thirty seconds) which makes it hard to push out those last few reps toward the end. My abs weren't sore the next day as I was expecting, but I still felt like they got a good workout. I ran two miles before completing this and felt that I had all around good workout for the day focusing on my abs. 

If you are looking for a quick and easy ab only workout, definitely give this one a shot. Otherwise, tone-and-tighten.com seems to have a lot of other great workouts to try out. This one will be going into my fitness book for Ab day.
