Week in Workouts {Link Up}

Linking up today with Bliss to Bean to talk about our workouts this week.  I am SO thankful we are getting closer and closer to Spring.  I can hardly handle these temperatures.  I love being outdoors so I made an extra effort this week to do some runs outside.

Sunday-rest

Monday-Octane Elliptical (35 minutes) and arms



Tuesday-About 4 mile run and four minute ab workout
 *My friend, Jessica pretending to run. She goes ALLLL out for blog pictures. haha =)

*I think we both had 89273493174 layers on when we ran this day!

Wednesday-rest

Thursday-5 mile run
*Wednesday evening we got another "dusting" of snow and school was cancelled for us on Thursday.  The sidewalks were clear at our local park so I decided to bundle up and go for it!

*Also, our local park has not taken down all of the Christmas lights/decorations yet.  Got to love it!

Friday-rest (went to dinner and consumed enough calories for all of the calories I burned previously in the week-yikes!!)

Saturday-5 mile run

This week I did not do very well with working out any muscles except when I ran.  I hope this week I do better with different muscle groups.  Last week was the first week I have worked more than one day in a week in quite awhile.  We should be in school everyday this coming week so I'm hoping I am not completely exhausted and have a desire to work out.  Haha =)

Last week when I asked for ab workout ideas, one of my friends-Naomi, sent me this awesome ab workout via Pinterest.  It looks SUPER intense but you can tell you'll get some results.  Thank you, Naomi!! I'm excited to try it this week! Here is a picture:

Have y'all ever done a kettle bell workout?  My husband got me this as one of my Valentine's gifts and I'm SUPER excited to try it!  I have only ever done one of these workouts at his gym.  I was sore for DAYS! No lie.  I'll try it this week and let y'all know how it goes.

I hope y'all are having a great weekend and let's keep our fingers crossed for better weather next week.  See y'all soon!

  1. I had my first ever run in the snow this weekend. I'd been avoiding it all winter. It was definitely challenging.

    1. I have a 10 lb and a 15 lb. Is this a good weight to start with? I've only done one class at a gym and I can't remember how heavy the kettle bell was...
