Before I give you my workout of the week, I wanted to talk about something that has been on my mind. Women (including myself) often get criticized for their shape. Words like skinny, fat, overweight, thin, too muscular, heavy, this list goes on… But the truth is, every single woman is a WONDER WOMAN, no matter what shape or size you are. So my wish for you all today, this week and forever is to get dressed every morning, look at yourself in the mirror and smile. Tell yourself how proud you are of your body… and if you’re not proud or happy right in this moment, I challenge you to think about ONE thing you ARE proud and happy about in your life. I guarantee you that you can think of one thing 🙂 PS how freaking awesome is this #WonderWoman gear by Under Armour?! Make sure you grab it now, before it sells out. I’m sure it’s going to be a hot item for all your fierce, strong women out there!
Warm Up: Foam Roll (I personally love to foam roll before workouts. I did it while I was training for the Olympics, and it’s something I still continue to do now)
Part One: 3 rounds
-Ropes: 30 alternating slams followed by 15 double slams
-Plank: Single leg lifts, 10 each side
-Run: 0.4 miles (first round), 0.3 miles, 0.2 miles (try to increase your speed and incline each round. I do my first set at 1% incline and 7.0, followed by 3% incline at 8.0, and finished with 5% incline at 9.0. BUT, make sure to run at your own pace!)
Part Two: 3 rounds
-Dumbbell Thruster 10
-Side plank dips 10 each side
-Split squat jumps, holding weight 20 total (10 each side)
-Lateral Lunge with a press, hold a weight 10 each side
-Box jumps 10

Hi there are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my own. Do you need any coding knowledge to make your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
Thanks on your marvelous posting! I definitely enjoyed reading it, you’re a great author.I will be sure to bookmark your blog and definitely will come back down the road. I want to encourage that you continue your great posts, have a nice morning!
I must show my thanks to this writer just for bailing me out of such a crisis. As a result of researching throughout the online world and getting strategies which were not powerful, I figured my life was over. Being alive without the answers to the issues you’ve fixed as a result of your entire post is a serious case, and those which may have in a wrong way damaged my entire career if I had not encountered your web site. Your main capability and kindness in maneuvering everything was crucial. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not come upon such a point like this. I can at this point look forward to my future. Thanks for your time so much for your high quality and result oriented help. I won’t hesitate to endorse your web blog to anybody who wants and needs tips on this matter.
Great blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your theme. Bless you
Hello superb website! Does running a blog similar to this take a great deal of work? I’ve no understanding of programming but I had been hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyways, should you have any ideas or techniques for new blog owners please share. I understand this is off subject nevertheless I just wanted to ask. Cheers!
Greetings from Carolina! I’m bored at work so I decided to browse your blog on my iphone during lunch break. I love the info you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m shocked at how quick your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, excellent site!
Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
This design is wicked! You definitely know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Many thanks!
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
Whoa! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Superb choice of colors!
This design is wicked! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
Hey there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome blog you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any forums that cover the same topics discussed in this article? I’d really love to be a part of online community where I can get responses from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Cheers!
