I am not getting paid to promote this, I am paying for my own membership. I just really like these workouts and want to share them. I am also hoping some of my friends sign up so we can workout together online. Today I am excited to share the streaming gym I have been using over the last several months! Welcome to my virtual gym Fit Women's Weekly Live. And yes that is my computer on my sofa. It is currently reaching 115 degrees here in the afternoon so working out in the garage isn't an option right now. That is Kindal on my computer screen leading a workout in her gym. Kindal and her husband Dan own and operate a women's fitness studio in Charleston, South Carolina, called This Time Fitness. When COVID hit they took their gym and clients online and offered their workouts over Facebook. I have followed Kindal off and on over the years from her fitness blog and podcast. I am always interested in how other trainers train so when she began offering the workouts for free I … [Read more...]
Cardio Interval Workout
Last week I completed my third week of a 6 week virtual challenge with This Time Fitness. Monday's workout was cardio intervals and left me dripping in sweat and feeling so accomplished. Here is the workout... Most of these exercises don't need any explanation. For the super squats perform a squat jump into a jumping lunge on each leg and back into a squat. It is a burner for sure. I was dripping with sweat at the end. The first round you perform 40 seconds of super squats followed by 90 seconds of jumping rope. The next round perform 40 seconds of super squats, 40 seconds of pike pushups, and 90 seconds of jumping rope. You continue adding on an exercise each round. I am loving all these workouts from Kindal and Dan. If you are interested in their live streaming classes you can reach out to her at [email protected]. This upcoming week I am doing something new to me and taking two virtual cooking classes online! I am so excited! It is also our last … [Read more...]
Arms & Core Workout
Happy Friday! I hope you are all safe and healthy wherever you are reading this from. We have been enjoying our backyard this week even as the heat has started creeping up in Arizona. We have had several 100 degree days already. Here are some pictures of our wildflowers and our blueberries. We have been trucking along on getting school work done, trying to keep our garden alive, disinfecting and cleaning our house, and getting to spend so much quality time together. I am reminding myself daily all we have to be thankful for, which is so much. I did get emotional this week when we drove by a preschool friends house to say happy birthday from the car. I got to see several friends in their cars and it was just such a weird surreal experience. I was so grateful to see them all but gosh it was hard at the same time. I have been trying to workout around 6am before the kids are up for the day. I am so happy to share a workout I did this week. My upper body is so … [Read more...]
August 2019 Fitness/Wellness Update
Welcome to my monthly recap where I share my fitness and wellness updates. Overall I have still been able to stay super consistent with my workouts. My nutrition could have been better. Eating With school staring up I have found it a bit more challenging to make sure I am actually eating enough food throughout the day. Several mornings I have gotten in the car with all 4 kids on the way to school drop-offs only to realize I didn't actually eat anything for breakfast. For September I would really like to dial in my nutrition to make sure I am eating enough food. It is crazy what a change of schedule will do if you aren't planning ahead. Workouts I started my new training plan this month and didn't think I would love it as much as I am. For three months I am only going to be using kettlebells. For years this type of training didn't interest me at all and whenever I would use ketllebells I would always feel strained in my lower back. A little over a year ago Josh and I … [Read more...]
