Sweat pink

Exciting news on my end today, guys. Last week I was approved to be a Sweat Pink Ambassador with Fit Approach and I could not be more excited! If you have been following my blog for a little while, you know that I love to get my sweat on and let's be honest how much cooler would sweat be if it was pink! Well...the more I think about it maybe not that might be weird... hmm.

Ok sorry getting off track here, Sweat Pink and the Fit Approach is a healthy community and their mission is pretty awesome:

We believe that kicking ass is best done in pretty shoes. We’ve learned that real women sweat, and sweat hard. We know that assertiveness, strength, and ambition are the ultimate feminine qualities. We concede that sometimes it takes hours to get ready, but we’re also no strangers to just rolling out of bed and going. We’re convinced that we run faster in pink shoelaces. We believe in pushing ourselves, and we believe in giving ourselves a break, too. We’re all about the rush of endorphins and the thrill of the challenge. We’re all for looking great and feeling even better. We’re committed to finding our best fit, and making it stick. We sweat pink.

Being part of the Sweat Pink ambassadors network is super exciting for me and I hope that the community of awesome women (and some men) is just another outlet I can use for motivation for myself, to help motivate others, encouragement, new sweaty workouts, and more.

In honor of sweating pink today, I obviously had to share a workout I did over the weekend with you all!

You know the drill with Tabata.  After you get a 5-10 min warm up in, do each movement for 8 rounds of 20 seconds of work with 10 seconds of rest before you move on to the next exercise. 

Here are videos for each movement if you're unsure: 

//Single leg squat

//Knee to opposite elbow

//Tricep dips

Cheers to sweating pink!

i'm sore

It's official, I am sore. I have mentioned before that ever since I started going to physical therapy for my knee pain and other pains, I have backed wayyy off on my workouts. Read: I have not done anything outside of my PT home exercises and short 15 min. runs. Well, I am finally starting to get back into the swing of things and I realize I have lost a lot of my strength and fitness base. Now, I know I will be able to gain it back, but I forgot how sore you can be from simple body weight movements. Here is a workout I did the other day that left me sore...in a good way! 

Tabata: 

For each exercise complete

// 20 seconds of work
//10 seconds of rest
//Total of 8 rounds of each movement

Then move to the next exercise

*Substitute push-ups for pull-ups if needed.
*Here is what the medball crunch looks like.
*Here is the proper form for mountain climbers.
*Here is a Single leg squat tutorial. 

Good luck!
