Hi Everyone!
It’s workout time! Today’s workout is a 12-Minute HIIT that will work your entire body. I also posted two cardio videos below for an added burn. As always, you can repeat this workout to make it more intense, while having it fit into your schedule.
This is a total body workout, and utilizes dumbbells. No Dumbbells? Get creative! Grab some water bottles, or something around the house that you can use for some resistance. During today’s workout focus on form. Form is always important, but I really want you to emphasize it when you use weights. Use a weight that challenges you, but that you can maintain your form with for each exercise. I used two 12-lb dumbbells during this workout.
This is a throwback workout. I filmed it when Maverick was just a few months old. It’s crazy to look back and see how little he was in this video!
I hope you enjoy this workout! Maverick had perfect timing when I filmed, and woke up for the very end of the workout. I will say, getting in my workouts around his schedule can certainly be a challenge! That is the great thing about having the option of quick workouts. You can make time for 12-Minutes. When I filmed this video, I only got in one round of this workout, plus a 2-mile walk with the baby, but it was still a good workout. Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t get in multiple rounds of a workout every day. Just make sure you are doing something!
Jesse & Maverick before Yoga last night.
I signed up for a Half Marathon the first weekend in May. I have been getting my running on track again. Since having my son it has been very hard to stay consistent. I feel SO much better when I get in my workouts. We have also been having an unseasonably warm February here in Pittsburgh, and sunshine is a mood booster for me.
I hope you enjoy today’s workout! We have new workouts on the agenda to film. We are re-establishing our workout schedule and filming schedule. Thanks for working out with me! Let me know how it goes and how you feel!
