Workout Wednesday – Lower Body Hamstring Focused

by

Legs Hamstring Focused

There was a big moment last night between Donny & Kevin. Kevin is still pretty terrified of Donny, but we are working on it. Donny will pull him up onto his lap and pet him, but Kevin never willingly jumps up there. Yet.

Last night Doug and Kevin were playing (as in Doug was chasing Kevin around the house). Kevin wanted to get away so he jumped onto the bed with Donny & I. Donny started talking to him and Kevin walked up and licked Donny’s hand! It may not seem like much, but this is a big deal! Kevin will barely even LOOK at Donny, let alone acknowledge him like that.

Workout Wednesday: Strength-Power Supersets

Well it has been three whole days and we still have Kevin! He is still scared of us and every person he meets, but he is getting better. He got a bath last night and did fantastic! I put him on our bed when he was dry and he snuggled with us all night. It makes me so happy!

He couldn’t have a bath right away because of being neutered. You have to wait 10 days after they are neutered before you can bathe them. Kevin was neutered last Friday and then ran away Sunday. Once we got him back he was one stinky unit, but we couldn’t wash him! Hahaha we made it and now he is clean as can be. No more smelly Kevin. Yay! [Read more…]

Workout Wednesday – Lower Body Trisets

Lower Body Trisets

What do I love about training lower body? How powerful I feel when I can lift really heavy. I dig it. As much as I love lifting as heavy as possible on lower body, occasionally I like to change it up. In this Lower Body Triset workout you won’t be able to lift quite as heavy because each triset has a cardio burst included to work your legs in a different way.

I really liked this workout – it got me sweaty, to say the least. Honestly, I was completely beat by the end. [Read more…]

Workout Wednesday – Treadmill Incline Intervals

Yesterday was pretty wild weather-wise in Colorado. We had a huge snow storm! I still have to work even if there is a blizzard (the radio biz stops for no one!). However, basically every single school was closed in Northeast Colorado. In fact, most of them are closed today too! Wild.

The wind howled all. night. long. and the roads were pretty bad in the morning yesterday so I didn’t make it to the gym. I thought about going to my parents and I also thought about doing a quick at-home workout. I didn’t sleep very well Monday night so at one point I woke up in the middle of the night and decided I’d just go over my lunch hour. Brilliant. I was already in town so why not. [Read more…]

Workout Wednesday – 28-Method Bicep & Tricep

by

28-Method

Today’s workout uses a 28-method training technique. Why? Because today is my 28th birthday!!! It only makes sense, right?!?

I had never used the 28-method before and it was quite difficult! I have mentioned 21s before, where you do 7 half reps from the top, 7 half reps from the bottom, and 7 full reps. Well this is a similar technique, but taken one step further. [Read more…]

Workout Wednesday: Back Training Mixed Methods

Yesterday was a fun day, especially for a Tuesday! I got a new cell phone, which is always fun. I upgraded to the iPhone 6 and I like it so far. Not too different from the 5 so I can manage it for now!

Even more exciting than a new phone, we surprised my dad yesterday with an early birthday present. We managed to find four relatively-well priced tickets to the AFC Championship game this weekend as the Broncos take on the Patriots! [Read more…]

Workout Wednesday: Arms & Abs Circuit

Do you watch The Bachelor? There is a small group of girls that I am friends with that get together each week to watch it. We actually haven’t gotten together for one it in quite a while (2 or 3 seasons maybe), but we did last night. We try to meet Tuesday nights and then watch the recording of Monday’s episode. At first we started watching it Monday night, but we would end up talking too much and miss a bunch!

It is really fun, even though I’m not a Bachelor-die-hard. We usually eat and drink wine and make fun of all the crazies on the show! There are a few on there that seem a bit whacko. Surprise, surprise. [Read more…]

I am really excited for this weekend because Donny’s office is having their company holiday party. They actually were kind enough to postpone it until after Donny was feeling better from surgery! They are having it at Guard and Grace in Denver, which is a modern steak house. The “Guard” in Guard and Grace is for Troy Guard, the owner of the Tag franchise through Denver (Tag, Tag Raw Bar, Tag Burger Bar, etc). [Read more…]

The countdown is on to 2016. Holy cow, it is almost here. I’ve have a fantastic 2015 and I cannot wait to see what this next year brings! We have a lot of plans, yet minimal real plans….if that makes sense. There are plenty of things we want to do and a few trips we have planned (shockingly), yet we have a lot of things not set in stone. It will be a good year. [Read more…]

Workout Wednesday: Shoulder & Ab Supersets

Shoulder & Ab Supersets

How often do you exercise? So unless I am out of town I have been consistently working out 6 days per week. I know I should probably take an additional day off, but I never really do.

However, this last week I was seriously struggling for motivation and strength actually. I felt very weak and sore everywhere. Not necessarily sore from a good, hard workout…but sore all over. I was enjoying my workouts, but not feeling quite as enthusiastic as I usually am. [Read more…]
