Home HIIT Workout

It's not a secret that I really enjoy fitness...and doing a workout @ home is my favorite way of getting my workout in. Don't get me wrong...I do enjoy the gym, but when I need something quick and fast...an @ home HIIT workout is my go to workout! HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training.

Tate is very good at coming up with these workouts pretty fast. This one is my favorite. I love the feeling I get when I finish and I easily burn 200+ calories!!! I just did it last night after Turner went to bed...my legs are feeling it today!!!

I use a 30lb kettle bell and 8lb dumbbells when I do this workout. You can easily use no weight or use DB's if you don't have a kettle bell. 

Also...if your not sure how to do one of these...go head and Google it and check out images. I do that all the time when Tate give me workouts. You could also check out YouTube for a video of it!

I signed up for another TRIATHLON

A year ago this past weekend, I did my first ever sprint triathlon...and blogged about it HERE.

Well...I've decided to do another one that is a bit more challenging and I am so excited!

This is the race I will be doing! I start doing my 12 week training this Sunday. My husband will be making my training schedule for me and I will share on here for anybody else that would like to train for a triathlon.

I really liked doing the triathlon last year because I like having a goal and schedule for the gym. If I know I am training for a 'goal' I am more likely to go to the gym and not put it off. I also like triathlons because of the variety of cardio. I am not a long distance runner...so marathons don't appeal to me.

One thing on the list before I do the race is to buy a bike...we are on the lookout for a nice bike that is a good deal. If you know of anything, let a fellow blogger know :)

Anybody what to do the race with me?!? It will be SUPER fun...I promise :)



Workout Routine

I feel like I am finally down to a workout routine that is working for me. It has lasted all of January with 2 weeks of them being during tax season. That is great considering I worked 60 hours during those 2 weeks.

Monday - I wake at 5 am and do a morning workout @ the gym.
Tuesday - I wake up at 5:30 and do a morning workout at home. I found a few at a home workouts on the PB Fingers blog and ones I found on Pinterest.

I found this one on a separate blog last week and just pinned it yesterday. I did this on Tuesday morning and LOVED it!!!

Wednesday - Day off
Thursday - I wake at 5 am and do a morning workout @ the gym.
Friday - Day off
Saturday - Gym or run outside with Mya and weight lifting at home.
Sunday - If I go to the gym before church, I attend cycle class. If I go in the afternoon, Tate and I do a normal workout routine.

Keeping this routine gets me my 12 visits a month to the gym so we can get our health reimbursement. It also gives me more energy, which is much needed during tax season!

Do any of you have a workout routine that you have? Are there any @ home workout routines I should try?
