I’m having one of those weeks where I have too much to write and too little time! Blend Retreat was too awesome to rush, so I’m going to focus on the workouts this post. More is coming, I promise!!

Today is really more about LiveFit Trainer anyway, so it’s the perfect place to start. I’m officially halfway through the program!! That’s absolutely crazy to say – how did I already do 6 full weeks?

LiveFit Trainer Week 6

I have to admit that I missed one LiveFit workout this week, but the GPP Fitness bootcamp sufficiently trashed my legs to make up for it!

My favorite workouts right now are arm day – I can feel myself getting stronger there every week and it’s fun! My least favorite this week was probably leg day, because I was sloppy on one of the squats and actually strained my back a bit. A visit to my favorite Colorado sports chiro helped get that worked out in time for Blend. Gotta be careful on the heavy squats!

For cardio this week, I only ran once (trying to baby my back) and did elliptical for my other two sessions at home. My fourth cardio session of the week was Saturday’s Blend Retreat bootcamp, hosted by Neil of GPP Fitness!

The workout was very different than what I’m used to and very fun! We started with these super-short sprints that you took off FAST & then stopped short. It didn’t seem to be doing a thing, but my legs told me otherwise on Sunday. :)

Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans {MMAZ #34}

Recently, I feel like I rarely have time to sit down and relax. There’s so much going on between work, workouts, friends, & family that there’s little time to just sit and relax. Good stuff, but it still leaves less time that I would like for laziness. [...] Read more...
