Shake up the Routine

by Tiff

This week has kicked off a new workout routine.  I loved the last one, and I’ll miss it.  I was able to set a new squat record, significantly increase core definition and strength, and still increase my running miles.

However, it’s time to shake things up a bit.  I have a somewhat similar routine that I have done in the past.  I found this worn-out sheet in my binder of collected workout tips n’ tricks.  I have no idea if I created it or when I last completed it, but apparently it was worth keeping.

Odds are I created it, or at least customized it to fit my needs, so with a few more tweaks, here it is.

I hope ya’ like it.  I actually had to get to the office early yesterday, so I didn’t even have time to do day one according to plan.  I still got in a good chest workout at home, so I’m not too worked up about it.  Even though I have the day off today to vote, I’m still hitting the gym early.  (Side Note – I’m no physical trainer; I just know what works for me.)

Happy Election Day!

Booty Boost

by Tiff

I hope everyone’s weekend was as good as mine.  As some of you know, I celebrated St. Patty’s in Savannah, GA.  I’m currently uploading (and giggling at) my pictures, so I’ll have more to share on that tomorrow.  For now, enjoy this booty workout – goodness knows my bod needs some exercise after all those fatty foods and green beers!

Booty Boost! 

This workout should take approximately 25 minutes to complete. Complete 3 sets of each exercise. Do 10 reps per set of moves 1-3, and complete 12 reps per set of moves 4-5.

1. Squats (Don’t be scared to go heavy on these, and use better form than I did in this picture.)

2. Split Squats (These are great with the bench at the gym and light weights.)

3. Plié Squats

**I’m sorry, but I’m sure y’all understand why I chose not to post pictures of plié squats in tight shorts!

4. Single-Leg Bridge Raises (They burn in just the right spot.)

5. Full Donkey Kicks (Pull your knee in tight before extending.)
