Full Body Tight and Toned Home Workout



Hi Everyone!

Tonight's workout was fun! I especially liked the 1 leg Tricep Squat pictured above. It was a nice way to work my lower abs, arms, glutes and hamstrings all at the same time. Notice in the picture above that even when I lower down my knee stays above my ankle, and never moves forward past my toes. This is key to really working your butt and hamstrings. These areas often get neglected, and you can accidentally create muscle imbalances in your body. 

As soon as I was done with this workout I went out for a run. I did 3.6 miles, and it took 30 minutes. It was 94 degrees outside so I made sure to cool down and drink plenty of water afterwards. 

I did the same running loop yesterday morning. I hope you're all enjoying some sunshine wherever you are!
