Chest & Triceps Tabata Circuit:
2 – incline push ups (warm up)
Tabata:
(1) inclined dumbbell chest press
(2) bosu ball push ups (knees or feet on bosu ball)
(3) dip machine
(4) cable rope pushdowns
(5) triceps cable kickbacks
2 – close stance push ups (cool down)
-15min cardio
*NOTE: other than the warm up & cool down sets, all 5 movements were 30 seconds on & 15 seconds off, preforming 5 rounds (sets) of each movement; while there are more “traditional” tabata style, I always like to adjust to what works best for me.
TIP OF THE DAY: Find the fun in fitness. Whether it’s working out outside, going for a run with a friend, or attending a new workout class, be sure to enjoy your idea of fitness. Everyone has different ideas of what “fun” is, so be sure to make fitness fun on your own terms. When you enjoy what you do, you’re more likely to stick with it. Over time, these fitness activities will become habit; as we all know, habits are hard to break. Fitness is not a temporary solution, rather, a lifestyle. It is aspect of life to be enjoyed!
The coolest part of my day was hearing from 2 trainers at my gym that their clients talk about “fitness barbie” – little, nothing-special me – and actually being recognized by a gym member that I was the girl on Instagram & online who she follows. I cannot thank you all enough for following my journey, gathering information & inspiration for your self, and, in turn, motivating me!
grocery shopping: eggs, chicken breasts, lean ground beef (bringing
red meat back into my diet), plain Greek yogurt, strawberries, mushrooms, gf brown rice rice crispys (great alternative to bread
crumbs), wheat & gf brown rice bread crumbs, vans gf waffles, sesame oil, and pecan pieces
7:30am meal prep: grilled chicken coated with brown rice bread crumbs
& pecans, orange chicken and pea-pods, and buffalo chicken bites with
rice crispy coating
