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!
I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your blog. Do you run into any internet browser compatibility troubles? A few of my site readers have complained concerning my speeding ticket site not operating correctly in Explorer though appears excellent in Opera. Are there any kind of tips to help fix that situation?
Hello there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this web site before but
after going through a few of the posts I realized it’s new to
me. Nonetheless, I’m definitely pleased I found it and I’ll be bookmarking it and checking back regularly!
I must show some appreciation to you just for bailing me out of such a crisis. Right after looking through the the web and obtaining tips which were not beneficial, I figured my entire life was gone. Living without the presence of strategies to the problems you have sorted out as a result of your good review is a critical case, and those which may have badly damaged my entire career if I hadn’t noticed your website. Your own personal knowledge and kindness in playing with every part was vital. I’m not sure what I would have done if I had not come upon such a subject like this. I’m able to at this moment relish my future. Thank you so much for the professional and amazing help. I won’t hesitate to refer your blog post to any individual who needs and wants assistance about this issue.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate your efforts and I
will be waiting for your further write ups thanks once again.
Hi there to every body, it’s my first pay a visit of this weblog; this website consists of
remarkable and in fact fine stuff designed for visitors.
I am writing to make you understand of the really good experience my princess went through reading through your blog. She came to find some things, most notably how it is like to have a wonderful teaching spirit to make many people very easily grasp a variety of specialized things. You undoubtedly exceeded my expected results. Thank you for providing such informative, dependable, edifying and in addition unique guidance on this topic to Janet.
Thanks a lot for sharing such great information.
Aw, this was an exceptionally nice post. Finding the time and actual effort to generate a very good article… but
what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and don’t manage
to get nearly anything done.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
