Upper Body Workout


I told you yesterday I would go through the Upper Body Workout I do at home.  So here is:

I do 12 reps of each of these exercises, 3 sets

·         Overhead Press

·         Upright Row

·         Tricep Extension

·         Bicep Curls

·         Dumbbell Swing (each hand 12 reps)

·         Tricep Kickbacks

·         Flat Chest Press

·         Flies

I am including pictures to show how to each exercise.  I got these pictures from Google.

I use 10 pound hand weights when doing this workout.  If you don’t have hand weights cans from your pantry might work.  If you have questions I will be happy to answer them!

Until next time!!

Happy Monday


Happy Monday everyone!!  Well last week I was kinda not feeling well & so I didn’t get into the gym. L But this week I plan on getting a workout in every day.  Even if it's not at the gym, I have some really good home workouts that I will share later in the week. Because yesterday I did a workout & kicked my booty. 

Great Summit
It was a great weekend this weekend.  I spent time with my family & attended the Blog Well Summit.  Which was absolutely amazing.  This summit was geared towards Branding & Designing your blog! I really learned a lot from it & hopefully you will see changes in this blog within the coming weeks.  I did already make some small changes.  Hope you like them,     

Until next time!!

Weekend Update


Yes I know its Thursday but I am just now able to do my weekend update!!  Do sue me!!  I have just be crazy busy.  The weekend was kinda rough.  Our beloved Charlie Dog died.  He was 11 or 12 years old.  So Saturday my wonderful husband & son had to dig a really big hold in our back yard.  Charlie was a very large Black lab.  Saturday afternoon I had to go pick up my packet for my 5k on Sunday.  Sunday was the day!!  I got up to a nice breakfast my husband made.  Then my friend Holly cam and got me.  The race started a 8:30 it was a bit chilly when we started but after we got going it was a beautiful for a run!!  I finished in 37:17 at a 12:00 pace.  Very proud of how I did.

The weekend pf October 17 I am participating in the Blog Well Summit.  It is free & virtual. My kinda conference.  No traveling & no money.  I am not sure what to expect but I am hoping to learn some good tips & tricks for improving my blog!!  I have done anything like this before so we will see how it goes!!  

Until next time!!

Crazy Busy


Oh my goodness I have been crazy busy lately!!!  I have neglected my gym workouts.  For the last two weeks I think I have been in the gym maybe 3 times, but I have worked out at home with weights & I have done a few outdoor runs.  Hopefully I will be back on track next week after my race this weekend.  This weekend half my relay team is doing a race on Saturday & the other half is doing a race on Sunday (I am on Sunday).  My BBF Holly & I are doing the Mustache Dash 5k on Sunday.  I am really excited

I am hope to stick to the following workout schedule next week:

Monday – Bike

Tuesday – Run

Wednesday – Run

Thursday – Bootcamp (Oh yeah I haven’t been to Bootcamp in 2 weeks.) L

Friday – Rest

Saturday – Group Run

Sunday – Weights at home 

Until next time!!

Weekly update


So far this week has been crazy!!  I feel like I am slacking on everything.  I have not worked out at all this week! L I am hoping to get to the gym today.  Last week I did a pretty good job with getting to the gym.

Monday – It was Labor Day so I skipped my workout

Tuesday – We had a new A/C & heating unit put in at home so I just did a workout at home after they finished.  I did upper & lower body.

Wednesday – I ran at the gym.  Did 1 ½ miles in about 20 minutes

Thursday – BOOTCAMP

Friday – I rested.

Saturday – My relay team was supposed to run but it was raining.  So I did upper & lower body & a little cardio.

Sunday – I rested.

I feel as though I really am slacking this week but I will make up for it!!!!

Until next time!!
