This week I finally had some great workouts 🙂 I increased the amount of sets I did from last week and was able to complete all my reps. Over the weekend I added in more accessory movements after my main lifts and enjoyed not having to work all weekend. I put that extra time to…

Full Body Workout #2
I've got another fully body workout for you to try on your own. What I love about full body workouts is that there's so much variety in exercises. I always like to pick my favorite exercise for each body part, but it's good to switch it up to reduce boredom and trick the body a…
Weekly Workouts 4/2 – 4/8
Hi friends! I'm back on the blog! Last week was so crazy that I only worked out twice which is very rare for me. This week I did all 5 of my scheduled lifts, but worked out four days. Once these tax returns are filed I'll finally be able to get back into a more…
Weekly Workouts 3/26- 4/1
This week I only worked out twice which rarely happens. Work has been very busy and has definitely decreased my workout time. I also chose to spend time with family for the holidays instead of going to the gym. I used to think I had to workout everyday or I wouldn't make progress, but I…
Weekly Workouts 3/19 – 3/25
This week felt better than last, my strength is slowly getting back to where it was before I took some time off. I had my hardest week of my program, so the weights were a little lighter, otherwise I may not have been able to complete all of my sets. This coming week is my…
Weekly Workouts 3/12 – 3/18
This week was my first workouts back after being sick, and I could definitely tell that I took a break. I didn’t do my AMRAP workouts in two weeks so my deadlift and bench felt a lot heavier. I had to drop the weight on bench, but it’s all a part of the process. I…
Full Body – Kettlebell Workout

I've learned how to complete different exercises with the same piece of equipment so I don't have to wait for someone else to finish up their workout. This workout only uses a kettlebell, but you can substitute always substitute…
Weekly Workouts 2/26 – 3/4
What should you eat before your workout? The purpose of a preworkout snack is to provide energy for a workout, so it’s best to eat something easily digestible that’s higher in carbs. Carbs are the best source of energy and are generally the easiest nutrient to digest. I usually workout first thing in the morning,…
Weekly Workouts 2/19-2/25
This weeks workout was a little different for me because I took last Sunday off. To stay on track with my program I had to fit in my last lift from the prior week, and all five workouts of my current week. That means that I squatted 4 TIMES this week #woof. Luckily for me…
Weekly Workouts 2/12-2/18
This weeks workouts felt really good. I didn’t do much accessory work so that I could give my body a chance to recover from these tough lifts. I still have one workout of the program left to do this week. On Sunday Jon and I decided to get caught up on This Is Us instead…
