A-A workout

Happy Friday everyone!

we made it through another week and started a new month! just crazy how fast February went by, but we are ready for a new month. lots of new goals. new things to accomplish. we say bring it!

we got a new fun workout for ya that we enjoyed on Monday. we are calling it A-A workout. this interval workout will work your arms and your abs. hence A (arms) A (abs)! aren’t we just so clever

**remember to always talk with your doctor before beginning any exercise program. we are not personal trainers, we just love sharing what we do for our workouts.

but before we share our weekly workouts, let us back up.

while we were down in Disney we did get our hotel workout in plus planks, then took the weekend off (Sat and Sun). we did no plank. just worked and traveled.

so come Monday we were ready to get back into our morning workout groove. we have been doing pretty good with working out first thing, Lori even has Gary up and working out with her!!

she is so proud of him for getting up and doing these workouts with her.

now usually in the past we (Lori and Michelle) have worked out together, but since we are trying to workout first thing in the morning we have been doing our workouts separately.  must say it feels weird and great at the same time. we really have been enjoying getting our workouts done first thing! anyone else?

foam roller- we have been using our foam roller after each workout this week. slowly getting used to it.

re-cap of workouts:

Monday – 12 minute interval workout using our Gymboss Interval Timer (affiliate)

loved it! our abs and arms were burning, just the way we like it

in case you may not be familiar with some of the exercises we did here are some links to help.

• commando pushup we learned from Zuzana , as well the surfer exercise
• cross over mountain climbers we learned from this Amanda Russell workout

Tuesday - harder than ever bodyrock 12 minute workout. we have done this interval workout before. an old favorite. made up 12 different exercises, great overall body workout. looking back at our numbers from the first time doing the workout some of our numbers improved while others stayed about the same. we think it is from us still getting used to moving the body first thing in the morning.

Wednesday – Amanda Russell’s red carpet workout. we saw this one come through our facebook stream and it caught our attention.  a workout of 5 exercises varying reps. took under 20 minutes to complete. we both really enjoyed it.

Thursday - Zuzana’s ZWOW 6 workout. a 10 minute workout comprised of 3 exercises that you do as many sets as you can during the 10 minutes.  legs were burning in this one!

Friday – Tone it Up beach babe workout   the tone it up girls said to do each move 20-30 seconds, so we set our Gymboss Interval Timer to 5/30 second intervals for 18 rounds.  Loved loved loved doing the walk out pushups!! something we will do be often.

phew what a week in workouts!! loved all the variety.

we have a new fitness goal this month as we are heading to the beach with our girl friends at the end of the month and we want to have our bikini bodies ready.  plus getting closer to Lori’s wedding. so we are going to try even harder this month to stick to our morning workouts and be more careful with our eats. we expect you all to help hold us accountable!!!

we will share more of what we mean here soon. plus coming soon a video of us making thin mint protein balls and veggie juice pulp crackers! and Lori will give update on her skin.

Twins Question: Any new March goals for you this month? Any big events you are getting ready for? How do you stay accountable?

till next time,

xoxo

L&M

have a great Friday!!
