30 min Cardio Circuit

No you're not dreaming, this is a workout for WOW (Workout Wednesday). It's been a few months since I posted weekly workouts, thanks to flag football. Ok really that's not the only reason but it's a dang good one and I'm using it. For those of you who don't know I had thumb surgery at the end of last year due to an injury at a flag football state tournament...yes, these do exists! It's still limiting the types of workout I can do (I can only grip 2lbs, watch out) but that doesn't stop me from doing these types of cardio workouts. I modify the burpees with a bench so I can do them on my forearms. The toe taps are performed either on a low bench or like I did on the end of the treadmill. I did a total of 5 rounds in 30 mins, only take a break when you need it! I burned roughly 400 calories.

WOW: Breakfast Smoothie

Well it has been a while since I've done a Workout Wednesday post! Shame on me, but we're moving on. I've had some request to bring back the series and today I'm starting off by sharing a breakfast smoothie I've been loving. It's super quick, has a good blend of nutrients, and most importantly it's delicious. My roommate and I have been cooking and staying on the same healthy diet (definitely recommend because it keeps you accountable and you share cooking/dish duties!). We made it even easier by measuring out the fruit into individual zip locks so we can just grab the correct amount in the morning. I use a chocolate protein from Lifetime Fitness, however you can use vanilla or whatever protein you enjoy!

As you could see I couldn't wait for a sip before taking the picture.
