Weekly Workouts

I didn't gain an appreciation and understanding of health & fitness until I got married in 2008. We moved to Chapel Hill, NC for Ben to attend dental school & by golly everyone was in tip top shape. I mean we couldn't drive half a mile without seeing 3-4 people running, the gym parking lots were full and all of Ben's dental school friends talked "healthy". We were new to this atmosphere of "being healthy". Needless to say it rubbed off quickly and I was full force for 4 years! I had a passion for exercising...any kind really! I loved to keep things fresh and keep my body guessing. I was into running, swimming, biking. weight lifting, zumba, yoga, Pilates, etc...literally everything! Since then I've ran one full marathon, two half marathons, one triathlon, one mud run and numerous 5k's. After having Berkley, I quickly realized that I didn't have hours & hours to workout. I know what works for my body & am limited with time! I workout either in the mornings before Berkley & Ben wake up, during nap time or when Ben gets home from work. Here is what a normal week of workouts look like

An example of Friday's cross fit of last week looks like this *(don't judge the paper, it's all I had a the moment & needed to rush before Berkley woke up).

*12 rounds

12 tire flips

12 push ups

12 walking lunges

12 burpees

                                                

Speaking of workouts...what's a workout without a cute accessory? A needed accessory at that! Mallory over at Owl Be Sweatin sent me this amazing leopard non-slip headband! Not only is it perfect for working out, but I've noticed myself wearing it for errands too. I'm sure I am not the only one battling re-growth, but this headband is sure to lay EVERYTHING down. It also has an adjustable backing so that it fits you perfectly. I love this headband and it is hubby approved! Ben says it actually looks like a fashion headband instead of my ugly rubber black workout headbands. Thanks Mallory for making me look cute while sweating!
