Tag: Workout Wednesday

As promised, this week’s Workout Wednesday post features a fully pregnancy friendly workout. Although it is a a good workout if you are pregnant, this is also a good workout if you are not expecting. One word of caution, always check with your doctor before starting a new workout or exercise routine to make sure it is safe for you and your baby. Everyone is different and every pregnancy is different, so it is always a good idea to check in first. I have been lucky enough to keep up with my regular workout routine during this pregnancy so far, with only a few modifications. I am hoping to be able to continue exercising throughout the rest of the pregnancy as well.

Cardio warm up

Set one: 12 banded leg raises, 15 squat to shoulder press, 15 reverse fly (repeat 3 times)

Set two: 10 walking lunges each side, 20 side to side body weight squats, 15 tricep extensions (repeat 3 times)

Set three: 12 wide squat with dumbbell, 10 dumbbell bird dog each side, 10 bicep curl to reverse row (repeat 3 times)

Let us know if you did this workout! Happy Wednesday!

I don’t know about you, but I needed a good workout after a long weekend. We do love a long weekend but also know that we do better keeping up our exercising schedule when we are in more of a routine, anyone else? For this workout all you need are a couple sets of dumbbells. For one of the exercises we used a medicine ball but it could easily be done with a single dumbbell, we also laid on an exercise ball for the chest press but you can do it on the ground. A few simple modifications will take this workout we did at the gym straight to your living room!

Cardio warm-up
Set one: 15 medicine ball out & in, 10 front raise overhead down side (around the world), 10 side gallops each way (repeat 3 times)
Set two: 10 plank kickbacks, 30 punches with weights, 12 bicep curls (repeat 3 times)
Set three: 10 plank rows, 10 chest press on a ball, 12 tricep extensions (repeat 3 times)
Stretch to cool down

Happy workout Wednesday!

Who needs a good workout to relieve some stress from the work week… just me? Today’s workout was a fun one to do! I don’t know about you, but exercising always refreshes my body and my mind! I hope this can do the same for you today too. In the words of Elle Woods, “Exercising gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy.” Happy exercising and happy Wednesday friends!

This week’s workout is one that we did in Michigan last week. We figured showing you a truly at home workout would be helpful for some since we know not everyone is comfortable being back in the gym. Give it a try and let us know how you liked it!

Start with a cardio warmup: high knees, jumping jacks, a light jog or a bike ride are all great at home options
Set One: 12 squat to bicep curls, 15 tricep dips on a raised surface, 60 second plank (repeat three times)
Set Two: 15 deadlifts, 10 burpees, 10 (on each side) walking lunges (repeat three times)
Set Three: 10 (on each side) rainbow kicks, 15 in and out, 15 shoulder press (repeat three times)
