Zumba Faves

PTS course


This weekend was crazy... I feel like I need another weekend. I had to take Friday off work so I could attend the three day course for my personal training certificate. It was a lot of fun, I met some new friends who have the same passion for health and fitness, and I'm looking forward even more to start training people and helping them change their lives.

One of the ladies (women just makes us sound old haha) I met there is competing in November and has a blog as well. Check it out here!

Another thing this weekend did for me was realize how much information there is to know. I'm glad I changed my exam for a later date because I want to ace this exam. I haven't really decided where I'm going to work out of but I'm going to try freelancing first and see how that goes. Maybe if there is enough interest I can coach online? Leave me a comment or PM me on my facebook page if you would be interested in something like that.

I've been a bit absent from here due to a full summer of spending time with friends and family, camping, partying, and just enjoying whatever warm weather we had haha.

I did end up downloading FitnessBlender's newest 8 week challenge and plan on starting it tomorrow. This weekend was just too crazy to have started it so I decided to wait. I smashed out a Nike Training Club workout on Friday evening and kicked my ass, it was awesome! I did a bit of Zumba/Just Dance yesterday afternoon after class but my mom got a new cat so it was cut short so I could meet her new kitty. And today I was expecting an ass kicking since we met at a local boxing club but it wasn't as much of a workout as I had hoped for. I think I sometimes surprise myself with my fitness level because I workout at home lol.

I'm also still toying with the idea of joining a gym. I just hate working out in front of people and today we also met at a local gym and it would be overwhelming for me to workout with that many people around. So I think if I join a gym I should start a smaller one that isn't as busy,

Okay, time for some TV and possibly falling asleep on the couch, hehe.

Quinoa salad and hummus

Image
I was at Costco yesterday to return some fuzzy (moldy) avocados and I wanted to pick up some hummus. On my way to the coolers I walked past their pre-mixed salads and saw this quinoa salad. I know it's more cost efficient to make it myself but I wanted something quick.

Free Workout Schedule - 1 Week

Image
This is my go-to program when I don't know what to do and when I still want results. My arms get  CARVED when I follow this program as well as my legs. I do these as circuits - meaning I do one exercise and move onto the next completing all exercises and then repeat again for as many times as I can or have time for. Aim for 2-4 rounds depending on your fitness level and time. This is a 4 day split and you can use it however fits your schedule: Day #1 - biceps, triceps, shoulders Day #2 - legs & abs Day #3 - back, chest, shoulders Day #4 - plyo & abs You can do this every day for 4 days on, 3 days off. You can do them every other day. Or you can just do it whenever you have time to do a workout! Some of the exercise do use a cable machine but you can easily swap them out for dumbbell or band exercises. Just make sure you're working the same muscles or muscle group. I love this split because it is so flexible and can work for so many people.
