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
Let me know in the comments below what you think of this workout and if you think I should continue posting my workouts!
Excellent post however I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Thank you!
I’m not sure exactly why but this site is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one? Thanks a lot!

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.
Hey there would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend a good internet hosting provider at a fair price? Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!
Hello! I’m at work surfing around your blog from my new iphone 4! Just wanted to say I love reading your blog and look forward to all your posts! Carry on the outstanding work!

Hey there, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, excellent blog!
Greetings from Carolina! I’m bored at work so I decided to check out your blog on my iphone during lunch break. I love the information you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m amazed at how quick your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, superb site!
Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Hi! I know this is kind of off-topic however I needed to ask. Does operating a well-established blog such as yours require a lot of work? I am brand new to running a blog but I do write in my diary every day. I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!
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!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
Hey! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this post to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
Appreciating the time and energy you put into your site and in depth information you offer. It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same old rehashed information. Fantastic read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.
