What happened to my sweat it out posts, you ask? Vacation happened. Then laziness happened. Then a workout rut happened (bummer). And that {pretty much} brings us to the present.
I’m more than ready to get back to sharing my workouts, favorite songs, motivational quotes, and more!
Sweat it out posts will now be on Mondays. They’ll be set up in the same way – a recap of the previous weeks workouts followed by anything sweat-related. This will {hopefully} serve as motivation for the week ahead!
I’ll also be leaving the link-up open for the entire week – so add a sweat it out post whenever you’d like! There are only 2 link-up rules:
1.) Post about anything sweat-related – fitness, new classes, gear, motivation, tunes, etc.
2.) In your post, include the SIOS button (included at the bottom of this post) or link back to the sweat it out post.
Feel free to share your post using the #SIOS hashtag on twitter and instagram. The more, the merrier.
So come on guys, let’s start this week off on the right foot!
Weekly Workouts
Monday – REST
Tuesday – REST (lots of walking in Chicago)
Wednesday – simple & sweaty treadmill workout
Thursday – Jillian Michael's Shed & Shred Level 1 (via GaiamTV online – review to come)
Friday – 1 mile walk + 2 mile jog
Saturday – 2 mile bike ride + 1 mile walk
Sunday – hot yoga
As you can see, my workouts have been pretty laid back. I have been in a bit of a workout rut, so I’m easing back into a routine and changing things up a bit. We’ll see what happens this week!
This is why clean eating is so important. Even if my workouts are lacking (or nonexistent), I don’t have to worry about gaining weight as long as I’m eating clean. The problem is that I feel generally weaker and more sluggish when I’m not regularly working up a sweat. So if I feel a workout rut coming on, I give myself a break, change things up, or try something new. It all balances out – the great weeks and the not-so-great weeks.
Motivation
Very applicable at the moment.
Tune of the Week – Want U Back by Cher Lloyd
This may have been meant for a younger crowd (as in middle school), but this song just pumps me up during my workouts!
Get your sweat on with the simple & sweaty run!
