These neon running shorts are perfect to wear when hitting the gym or for a nice run outside! They’re available in so many other colors, as well — so if you’re not feeling the brightness {and aggressiveness} of this neon color, then definitely check out the more subtle colors over here. I ended up also purchasing black and fuchsia — although, the salmon color was definitely on my radar.

I rarely wear shorts to work out in.  To be honest, I never wear shorts to work out in, but for some reason, I thought I’d give these ones a chance {mostly because the color selection was phenomenal}.  I ended up REALLY liking them, and I felt extremely comfortable in them.  However, they’re pretty short {and are meant to be short}, so I do not and would not wear them for leg day.  I think that would be weird for everyone involved, ‘mkay? So, I’ll stick with the align pant for leg day, and sport my neon running shorts when I do cardio and for back, chest, or shoulder day!

Funny side note: when Marilyn was taking these photos, she told me that my booty reminded her of Khloe Kardashian {keep in mind, she 100% meant it as an insult}.  I, of course, took it as a compliment, because I’ve been working on my a$$ gains for 3 months now.  Bulked that booty up and lifted extremely heavy for awhile, so it was nice to hear that it *apparently* worked.  Let’s just hope pre-summer shredding doesn’t take it all away, because I would actually cry.

Now, without further adieu, this week’s workout routine is below! Also, I uploaded so many new WORKOUT VIDEOS in The Daily Fix last night — these are great to use as reference for some of the exercises and I try to link them when applicable!
