I would love more instructional videos (like the ones you have linked) on how to do some of these exercises! I’m interested in doing a resistance-based routine as vigorous as yours, but I just don’t know what many of these exercises are!
Wow! After seeing your leg day, I feel like such a whimp!
Great post! I would love to see a post on how you track your meals/ what your mindset is when eating… Obviously each person is different, but it would be a great post!
Sweetly, Sally // http://www.sweetlysally.com
Would LOVE to see examples of what your daily meals look like! Working on setting my goals for 2017!
xoxo.
Hi Caroline! That’s a great idea. I’ll make sure to share more about that. In the meantime, you can check out my 3 week slimdown {which is very similar to the foods I daily eat} over here! xx
Really loved this post. It’s great to see what someone else actually does in their routine and not just the exercises they’d recommend.
Thanks for this 🙂
Yay! So glad you like my exercises — it’s so nice, because they’re all listed right there for ya! xx
Great tips! Thanks 🙂 Maybe I will try some of your excercises 🙂
Give them a try and let me know your thoughts! Would love to hear them! xx
Do you snack in between meals?
I do, yep! Some examples of snacks are mozzarella sticks, mixed fruit, greek yogurt, hummus/carrots/celery, handful of almonds and dried fruit, oatmeal, protein shakes, protein bars, sliced deli chicken on crackers! I’ll do a nutrition post soon and provide some more examples! My 3 week slim down posts also have tons of ideas too! xx
I love everything about your site. It makes me happy. LOL
First, where did you get those awesome black leggings with the different angled stripes? I couldn’t find the link.
Second, do you normally add in additional cardiovascular workouts to each day of your weights routine? Just wondering if I should add more cardio if I follow your weekly plans since I want to loose weight as well.
Thanks!
Hey Ashley! I believe they’re Alo Yoga airbrush leggings, but I think those specific ones are sold out! They have tons of other kinds though like these moto ones! Also, I do cardio almost every day! Hope that helps! xx
