A new workout

Hey luvs

Hope every had a great weekend…get all your Christmas shopping done?? Staying warm??

Well things have been crazy here for us and I am sure everyone else feels like they are running around with no time to rest.  Tomorrow is when the Twins split ways for the holidays.  One is heading to the mountains of North Carolina and the other is heading to sunny Florida!

We wanted to share a kind of a random topic, well maybe it is not because as you all know we are big fitness people. We grew up playing sports, we love a good competition : )  The past few years we have done all sorts of exercises and even managed to accomplish running 2 half marathons, 1 marathon, and currently training for our 2nd marathon all the while starting up our bakery.

Speaking of our training we have been doing something different lately. We got the inspiration from our friend Mike. It has involved this guy…

BOSU BALL!

We are in love. We have been doing exercises on this little guy for the past few days, due to the very cold weather we have been going to the gym for out workouts. Yep, we have not run very much and we are aware our marathon is getting closer, but we just needed something fun and different, you know?

Well this bosu ball is a great way to work the whole body : ) So it is great for when you are short on time, like we have been these past few days.

Twins Question: Have you tried a new workout lately? Do you like it? How often do you change up your routine?

We used to be really good at doing the same workout routine for 6 weeks or so, then we would change it up. But nowadays we have an idea of what we want to do but our schedule is never the same every day therefore making us to change our workouts more often. We actually have been enjoying not having an exact plan, because it keeps our mind working…being creative for our workouts.

We also have been noticing some changes, good changes, in our physical appearance. Ever since we went raw, and most recently going off birth control, we have finally lost that layer of water weight that girls tend to carry around due to hormones, etc.  And we love it!!  After years and years of long hours in the gym we never got the “definition” we have always wanted.

Why ?

Because we are careful of what we put in our mouths, we have learned so much about what to eat for best performance and now seeing it is also affecting our appearance!!! Plus doing more yoga and now these short more intense workouts has really been having a positive affect on us : )

We plan on doing more of these short, intense workouts along with yoga more often in this coming year and probably less running after our marathon. Where we are in our lives we just feel like this fits! And we are excited to see what the next year will do to our fitness levels and physical appearance.

Till next time,

The Twins
