Water Jug & Towel Full Body Workout
Water Jug & Towel Full Body Workout

I’ve always said that working out is more about my mental well being than my physical fitness. Obviously, there are many physical benefits to staying fit and I strive to embrace them all. But my biggest benefit for working up a good sweat is the mental health component. The endorphines that are released after a good workout are soooooo crutial to my keeping a positive state of mind. And so during this time of sheltering in place I wanted to create a workout that would not only benefit you physically, but would also help you release those endorphines that will benefit you mentally. So, no excuses! Grab your water jug (laundry jug, drink pack, kettlebell) and towel and let’s get moving together with the video below!

Reshape your lower body with this weight and band workout
Reshape your lower body with this weight and band workout

Resistance training is a must to shape and tone your lower body. Using both weights and resistance bands gives you a very effective workout to challenge your thighs and glutes. By supersetting the thigh and glute exercises you are able to efficiently work through this workout while really challenging yourself. I love it! Warning…if you choose the right weights, you WILL be sore! It’s a total leg burnout! Is there anything better than feeling sore after a leg workout??? I think not! To me it says: JOB WELL DONE!

Get ‘er done full body workout
Get ‘er done full body workout

Resistance training is such an important part of any exercise routine because it is the one thing that allows you to build lean muscle. Why do we like lean muscle, you ask. Well, for me its two fold; one-muscle is metabolically active so your metabolism gets a boost and helps you burn fat (yippee!) and two-muscles help keep you strong for all your daily functional activities. It’s like we say, HEALTHY LIFE, HAPPY LIFE! Total body workouts are always a winner for me because I am hitting all my major muscle groups in one workout. You throw in strength/resistance training with some cardio and abs and you have hit the trifecta!

Back to School Workout Series
Back to School Workout Series

With 3 daughters heading off to college this Fall, I wanted to put together a workout series that they could easily incorporate into their collegeate routine. Finding time to exercise can not only help you fight the college weight gain, but it can improve your focus and concentration as well as improve your mood and reduce anxiety and stress. There are 4 workouts in this Back to School Workout Series.  If you are working out 3 days a week, I would suggest doing the upper body workout,  lower body workout and cardio core workout.  If you are wanting to make fitness part of your daily routine, I would suggest doing  upper body, cardio/core, full body, cardio/core, lower body. So colleatates...start your year off not only nourishing your mind, but also nourishing your body. Healthy life, happy life!
