Good Morning Everyone!
I woke up much later then I intended too this morning! Luckily my son is still sleeping so I have a little bit of time to catch up on my blogging and get a workout posted.
Today is Monday, and it is the last workout in my BodyRock Mom Live workout series. That will be up live on Facebook at 2PM Eastern. It’s going to be a quick Cardio Sculpt Workout to burn fat and help tone the whole body.
Saturday night I finally got in a great run. It has been really tough trying to get in my workouts and cardio lately. It felt amazing to run and work up a great sweat. I have been struggling over the past two weeks to get my workouts in, and taking 45-minutes to myself felt amazing. If you are a new mom (or you know one and want to help them out) giving yourself a little bit of time to do something that you want to do for yourself is a huge help. Remember you are going to be happier and healthier if you take some me time to do something you love (napping counts too!) Plus, Maverick was jumping in Jesse’s arms and wiggling with joy when he saw me after my run, and that’s too cute for words.
I did a 30-minute 3.56 mile interval speed/incline workout on the treadmill. Followed by a 5-minute walk. I felt fantastic so I wanted to see if I could do one mile fast…..I did one mile in 6:30 (no incline so prob around 6:45 min/mile equivalent outside), and finished with a .25 (quarter of a mile) walk. I felt so good, energized and rejuvenated.
My goal for this upcoming week: Film 3 new workouts + get in 3 runs. If I get in more I am awarding myself bonus points! I am also getting caught up on the videos for my 30-Day Lower Body Challenge. They will be posted as soon as I get them edited.
Thank you guys for always being supportive and understanding. 🙂 I appreciate you.
Have a great day, and enjoy today’s workout combo!
