I know I know, who’s working out on a Friday?! The hubs and I have a flight out soon– we’re headed to the winter storm you guys!!! 😳 We managed to squeeze in a little workout this morning and I figured why not go ahead and share my fitness routine today?! I bought the CUTEST workout gear from Lululemon and I’m obsessed!! This is the first time I actually went into the store (I know, I’m late to the cute workout gear party) but I’m glad I went in last week because they just got some new gear and I had to get my hands on them!! These high waisted leggings are incredibly comfortable and so great for running!
Alright so, I must admit that I was definitely more active about a year ago in terms of my workout routine. I will likely get back into that routine once law school ends this semester and I’ll have an updated workout routine then but for now, this is what I do! Keep in mind, every week is a little different and trust me, I’m no personal trainer or fitness expert! I I just want to share my routine in hopes to inspire you guys and share a few of my tips! 🙂
Currently, I work out 5 days a week. To be super honest, there are some weeks where it ends up being only 4 days but that all depends on my school schedule (whether I have a paper due or excessive reading that week). See my schedule below! 🙂
Sunday: Leg day! I spend about one hour doing squats, jump squats, lunges, leg press, calf raises, glute kickback and butt lift!! We still have our 24 Hour Fitness membership so we do our leg days there.
Monday: Cardio day. I switch things up sometimes on cardio days. I sometimes do the stair master or the treadmill. If the weather is great, we’ll go for a run outside. The goal is to at least get 2 miles in!
Tuesday: Arm day! I spend no more than 45 minutes doing burpees, tricep dips, pushups, tricep overhead press, and bicep curls. Sometimes I squeeze in a few ab exercises (i.e. planks).
Wednesday: Rest day.
Thursday: Repeat Cardio day.
Friday: Repeat leg day!
Saturday: Rest day.
Also just a side note, I would totally invest in a FitBit— and no this is not sponsored. Ever since I got one, I at least manage to do anywhere from 10,000-20,000 steps a day. I found out that the American Heart Association actually recommends working our way up to 10,000 steps a day as a way to encourage you to increase your physical activity and to improve health overall. I’m not working out to lose weight by any means, I’m just trying to stay healthy and in shape and so I find anywhere from 10,000-20,000 steps is beneficial for me. Trust me, on days that I’m not at the mall or going to the gym, getting to 10,000 is super difficult– especially when I’m in school all day sitting in a chair! If you take anything from this post, I truly encourage all of you to get to 10,000 steps a day. You can even compete with your friends and family on the FitBit app which definitely helps in terms of motivation!!
Alright, off we go!! Happy walking and chat soon loves!! Don’t forget to follow me on Snapchat (@nextwithnita) or Instagram to follow along our snowy journey! ❄
