Funday Monday!

  Hello everybody!

  Last week was my spring break and it was SO nice not to do ANYTHING! I literally took a break from working out. Sometimes your body just needs a nice long break. I never get to watch T.V. or lay around on the couch and watch movies, so I treated myself to that. Now I am ready to get back into the game more than ever.

  Today I am leaving for Philly and flying out from there tomorrow around 6:30 a.m. for Las Vegas! I am attending an ACSM conference and I am SUPER excited :) I will get to learn all new types of workouts and more. There will be all sorts of health topics ranging from exercise science, to nutrition, to just motivation in general. I'll blog about it when I return.

  Since I am leaving this evening, I decided to do a stair workout before going! My friend Shayna and I woke up and started our workout at the Eastview stairs at 6:45. We ended at 7:30 a.m. sweaty and out of breath. It was perfect ;-) 

  It was the first time Shayna had done it. She hasn't worked out in months due to sickness and injuries. I have to say, I was really impressed that she out of all people woke up and wanted to do this with me. She did an awesome job :-)! It makes out the workout go so much faster when you have someone with you. Today we did:

• 15 minute round of sprinting to the top of the stairs followed by 10 burpees and jogging back down.
• 10 box jumps followed by a 10 sec break with ski jumps for 15 minutes
• 5 minutes of tag. This consisted of Shayna sprinting at the bottom of the stairs and I would be holding a plank or doing mountain climbers. Then when she was done, we would switch. 
• It was really hard by the end of it! Welcome back right?

Getting our knees high!

  I hope all of you continue working out and eating healthy! If you haven't started, it's not too late! Keep pushing through and never give up! Stay motivated! Shayna did this with me because she missed feeling strong. The girl who hasn't worked out in MONTHS is doing this, so can you! She's motivated and driven and got up because she WANTED it. Keep going! Have an awesome week!
