Woohooo two posts this week! Amazing ;) Ok seriously though I am getting back on track!!! I've had a niggling shoulder and ankle injury but things seem to be getting better with those too. I know my body and it's responding well to the cross training I've been doing with adding in more yoga and swimming which is GREAT! Last week I managed to do twisting half moon pose and this week I did crow and held it for about 5 seconds, no falling on my face. Loving yoga right now. I also did wheel for the …

8 minute jump rope interval workout
Workout Wednesday and this week is a jump rope interval workout. I actually needed to do cardio so I incorporated this into my Tuesday schedule. Sometimes it's tough to get a workout in, especially cardio, so these 10 minute workouts are awesome. I plan on doing this Wednesday morning before BodyPump class too! In the workout video I did 8 exercises, and two of the jump rope exercises were repeated. Each exercise is done for 45 seconds with 15 seconds of rest. Total of 8 minutes. Remember …
15 minute upper body pyramid workout
Initially I started this video with 10 reps of everything but knew I wasn't going to get much completed so I changed it on the fly to a pyramid style workout. That means you either increase or decrease the reps with each set. For this workout we're going to decrease the reps. In the workout video I go from 100/10 reps down to 50/50, but feel free to do more depending on how much time you have. If you have another 5 minutes or so just keep going down in the reps till you get to 10/1! Or if you …
12 minute kettlebell workout
Ok it's back to reality and back to the grindstone regarding training, though I'll be switching things up more as one of the takeaways from the IDEA world fitness convention was VARIETY. Cross training is always something I've encouraged but it's definitely something I'll be doing more of. This weeks workout is a kettlebell workout but you can do the workout without the kettlebell, see the end of the video for more details and examples of those. The workout video is just one set of work, …
15 minute standing beachball workout
Wow what a Tuesday I had. I had no internet on my computer until Bob got home. Something to do with my switch power supply or something. Whilst I have a laptop, almost everything I do is on my PC so it was a tough day. I did get the workout done, and interestingly the video was way quicker to load to YouTube in the evening rather the afternoon! Which is good to know. I got a ton of stuff done too including printing out my notes for IDEA World Fitness Convention! If you are going, email me, and …
15 minute med ball HIIT workout
Happy Wednesday! Workout Wednesday! So yep another workout, another video, another workout breakdown. This weeks workout is a medicine ball workout and I was given a med ball to review from Rep Fitness, so look for that review coming soon. I'll be doing more videos, and more med ball workouts soon. I was sweating buckets after this workout, and my arms were shaking so I'd say the 14lb med ball did it's job! The workout has 4 exercises, each having 45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds …
12 minute HIIT workout
Wow this one was a tough one! I've been wanting to do more cardio lately, as I have a 5K race coming up in August and honestly I need to more more high intensity cardio rather than just spinning which I seem to have a lot of lately. If you try this workout you'll see that all you need is 12-15 minutes! Seriously, just workout as hard as you can in those 12 minutes and you are DONE. I was a hot sweaty mess after this workout, though I was doing it outside in 97 ° beautiful sunshine! The …
8 minute core workout!
Hi Guys! I've been quiet the last couple of days because, well... life! I had blog posts 'planned' but just didn't get around to actually writing them. Story of my life lately! I know a few people are owed emails too, I'm planning on catching up with those Thursday. Until then it's WORKOUT WEDNESDAY! I got out yesterday afternoon to do my workout and it was HOT. Seriously the weather here has been INSANE. On the plus side my tan is coming along nicely, I have swimsuit tanlines from all …
12 minute beach ball workout
Last week I did something SUPER smart! I recorded TWO workouts, and it was a good job as I've had little opportunity to get a workout done as we have workmen doing some hard landscaping in our yard. Sometimes I amaze myself with my ideas ;) Seriously though I did two as it's something I wanted to get ahead with and this week was the PERFECT reason why... I don't want the workmen to think I'm any crazier than they already think I am ;) The workout has 45 seconds of work followed by 15 seconds of …
