Hi Everyone!

Welcome to Day 2 of this week’s workout schedule! If you missed Day one don’t worry! You can find it right HERE. Yesterday we had a 16-Minute Per Round Total Body HIIT Workout. Today we have a quick Legs & Core Workout.

One round of today’s workout will take only 12-Minutes per round. I use a dumbbell for a couple of exercises in this workout. If you don’t have equipment just grab something from around the house to add some resistance, or do the exercises with body weight. Focus on using good form and getting in your maximum number of reps during each interval. You can modify the workout as needed. As long as you are challenging yourself you are getting in a good workout. If it feels easy that’s a sign that it’s time to increase the intensity.

Tomorrow’s workout is a Cardio HIIT Routine. You can find it here (if you just can’t wait!): Cardio HIIT (Full Length).

I am still taking it easy after my Half Marathon on Sunday. I mentioned on Instagram/Facebook that I took a tumble during the race- darned potholes!– and my knees and elbows are pretty sore from the impact. Gentle stretching and foam rolling are my focus right now. Part of living a healthy lifestyle is resting when you need too. My knees are so sore I didn’t even want to go walking today! They are bruised and I have a few scrapes, but I can tell that I am already on the mend.

See you soon with some new workout videos & blog posts. If you have any questions you want to see me answer please let me know in the comments below.

Have fun with today’s workout!
