I haven’t had much to say about workouts yet this week, but I’ve been doing ‘em.
On Monday I was still having some coughing/sniffling even though I was feeling better, so I stick to a warm up and weights. There were plenty of plie squats in my full-body routine, and my legs had a lil’ two-day sore going on. Am I the only one who loves that?
Tuesday was mainly cardio. I wasn’t quite up for a full-on run, so I reverted back to one of my fav workouts from before I got into running. 10 min walk (increasing incline every minute), 10 min jog (1.0 incline), 10 min walk (intervals with inclines), 10 min jog (1.0 incline), and another 10 min walk (bump up incline then decrease it every minute). BAM! 4 miles done and 408 calories burned! (I also did a wee bit of core work later in the day before dinner.)
Yesterday I used Bob Harper’s crossfit WOD I saw on BodyBuilding.com. It was no joke! I did jumping pullups instead of real ones, and I only did 10 hand-release pushups instead of 20. After my arms got tired, I switched to lat pull-downs on the 4th and 5th rounds instead of my wimpy jumping pullups. I still got that jello feeling, and I’ll probably have that sore feeling later today.
To wrap up this post, I want to add a little link love. Enjoy!

Love that Ryan Gosling Pic!!! My workouts have been kind of lacking this week… I’m still working on getting back into my early morning workout routine.. between the Holidays and vacation, I’ve forgotten how to function in real life!

I was doing ok with the morning workouts until THIS morning. I got home late, slept horribly… so even my plans for a lighter weight session didn’t happen. Ah well. Not every week is going to be super awesome.

Aww, thanks so much for sharing! I need to read Brittany’s on Whole 30. Way to push yourself with your workouts this week! I like that sore feeling, too.

I love the leg day picture. I saw it over summertime and couldn’t stop laughing!

I’ve been trying to keep my bug from becoming a full-blown plague, so I’ve been taking it easy on the workout front. Getting in a daily walk on the treadmill has been keeping me from getting too antsy.

Nice workouts so far this week! Love the graphics above, “Hello Ryan!”. Mon & Weds were weights with cardio intervals, Tuesday was spinning & this morning was a hodgepodge of random weights & some stair running with a girlfriend. Mixing it up helps me stay motivated!

Ha ha ha – love that guy with skinny legs ad! So funny, and so true! I also love the ‘hurts so good’ sore after a workout.
Hope you feel better!
January 17, 2013 at 11:53 am
We were just talking at work about being sore and how I absolutely love it because it makes me feel like I have worked hard and will have results! I think it’s the best feeling!

Oh, grumpy cat — tie w/ hottie Ryan.
I had to google jumping pull ups – awesome.
Good treadmill workout, anything to break the boredom.
Checking the links now:)

Great walking/jogging interval workout. Thanks for sharing–I’d like to try something like this when I don’t feel like a full on run.

Love sore legs
