Happy Sunday. I’ve had a busy week and gotten in some good workouts: Boxing Boot camp on Thursday, 2 hot yoga classes and a long rowing workout yesterday. All in all, I’m feeling pretty tired. I’m huge believer in “listening to my body” so today I’m going to take it easy and recover with some moderate cardio. Getting in some light cardio exercise is a good way to stay active when my body needs a break without skipping workouts. It also helps me maintain my cardiovascular endurance and keep my metabolism going to burn off the delicious Sunday Brunch I ate. Try this workout too if you want a nice and easy, Slow Sunday Sweat. Enjoy and be blessed 🙂 Luv, Brit
Get IN – Get SLIM – Get OUT
I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with your friends and family. I sure did. However, this week back at work has been really busy and kinda stressful 🙁 I’ve had a hard time getting to the gym consistently, so during a quick break today I put together a “Super Efficient Gym Circuit” to help me get back on track. My intention is to get a solid mix of cardio and overall resistance training in the workout. Of course I also want to burn as many calories as possible. Most importantly, because exercise is the cheapest and most effective stress reviler and anti-depressant, I want to take full advantage of the benefits!
The workout takes 1 hour, should burn 600-700 calories and fully utilize all of your major muscle groups. I’ve built in a lot of complex exercises that engage 2 major muscle groups at the same time, which makes the overall workout more efficient.
The resistance training section requires 2 medium-heavy dumbbells (at least 10-15 pounds each). Overall, it’s probably difficult to do this workout home, but it’s definitely a good option for the gym when you want to change-up your usual routine. Try it out and let me know how it goes – enjoy!
Lots of love, Brit 🙂
