Sculpt Your Body Home Workout
Hi Everyone,
This was my workout today. In addition to this workout I walked 3 miles at our local mile track. It was a beautiful, sunny 80 degree day. I took my workout outside, and I loved every second of it! I am hoping for some great weather this week because I want to start doing a lot more running.
Last summer I was putting in a lot of weekly mileage, and I would like to build back up to that again. I want to start doing some more races.
I was planning on doing a workout yesterday. I went to see two plays, and I wasn't feeling well in the evening so I took the night off. Tomorrow I am planning another full body workout and some serious cardio.
I baked 2.5 pounds of chicken breast so that I will have something quick and easy to use in lunches or dinners during the week. I also made a batch of fat free triple berry muffins. When I get home from work I am always ravenously hungry, so I want to have some healthy options on hand. My plan is to pre-make some chicken spinach salads so I have something quick and healthy to grab. I ate up all of my Easter candy, so it's time to focus on healthy eating again!
Don't forget to warm-up, and stretch after your workout. :)
Enjoy the workout!
