12 Weeks from today it will be April and we will be busting out the marshmallow down coats and into shorts, capris and maybe even swim suits. In order to be ready to whip off your clothes, we need to start preparing now.
So, for the next 12 weeks I will be posting bi-weekly workouts you can add to your current routine to change things up. Or if you are in need of some workout motivation you can give these a try to get things started. I would be happy to alter the workouts for anyone’s specific fitness level if you email me!
If you have a routine or a specific exercise that you love and gets results, and you think others would enjoy it, send me an email and I would love to share it.
Today’s workout comes from Rebecca Black, a fitness guru!

Looking forward to some new things to add to my workouts! One thing I like to do (and it is great when travelling and you don’t have access to weights) is a push up pyramid – start with 1 push up, then 2, then 3, up to 10 and back down. A great way to crank out 100 push ups! Yesterday I added in shoulder presses (with 15 pound DB’s) after each push up. Very challenging and I feel it today!
Was looking for ways to switch up my treadmill sessions to get ready for snowboarding…this is perfect!
Love this recipe, Al!
I miss you darling. Happy New Year. We are overdue and need to catch up. xoxo Love this quinoa dish and I am loving your new blog look. This is fabulous.
Excited to see your 2012 posts!
Oh, I am excited for this! I need some shake up from my typical running and hiking routine!
Let’s catch up Amie! How about later this week? Are you free any nights?
I love this idea Lori! I need to do it in my classes! Thanks so much!
It’s nice to change things up because it makes the time go so fast!
