Why I Run + Endurance & Speed Running Workout

Why I Run + Endurance & Speed Running Workout

When did I become a runner?
Running has always been in my family.  My mom was a distance runner in high school and she continues to run to this day.  I had plenty of great memories growing up cheering my mom on once a year at the Indy Mini Marathon.  Each year in elementary school I always looked forward to field day.   I always looked forward to the running races.  I ran both distance and sprinting events in high school and college.  I later became a cross-country coach at my local school and I will still run with the high school team from time to time.   I have run multiple half marathons and other races as well.  I actually was named top 100 female in the Indy Mini Marathon the last time I ran.  (100 out of roughly 14,000 females)  Running is in my blood.

This Week’s Workout Plan

This Week’s Workout Plan

I have had such a great time here in Florida, but as my vacation slowly comes to an end, I know its time to get back into my routine.  This week I am doing a mixture of cardio and HIIT. I even linked a partner workout that my sister-in-law created.  (BLOG: FaithfullyFitARMY) It can be done on your own too.  I am STILL sore from it.

If you are a subscriber this is already in your inbox (or in your promotions folder).  You will get this email every week along with all of my workouts.

If I don’t see or talk to you all before next week, I want to wish you a Happy Easter! Jesus has Risen! He died on the cross so that ALL of us could go to heaven.  There is nothing we can do to change His mind. You are enough.

Get me the weekly workout plan for 3.26-3.31

4×4 HIIT Workout

This workout is probably my favorite HIIT workouts yet! It definitely one that will leave you dripping in sweat.  I love it because you have 4 rounds that are 4 minutes long and you compete against yourself to see how many moves you can fit into each round.  I love how I can track my progress and see my improvement each time I do this workout.  The best part?  No equipment needed and this workout can be done in your home in 20 minutes!  I tracked and you burn about 300+ calories in this workout.  Get me the 4X4 HIIT workout! >>>

“All the Right Places” CORE WORKOUT

“All the Right Places” CORE WORKOUT

We all can probably agree that we wish we knew of workouts that worked our lower abs and sides.  For most women your lower abs and obliques are the areas that seem almost impossible to get trim.  I have tried out dozens of lower ab workouts and this workout is by far my favorite and the most challenging.   The most important thing you need to remember for this workout is to suck in your belly buttons and keep a straight back in plank position.  GET ME FREE ACCESS TO THE “ALL THE RIGHT PLACES CORE WORKOUT.

20 Minute TOTAL Body HIIT Workout

20 Minute TOTAL Body HIIT Workout

What is HIIT?

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is a type of cardio /strength workout that has short periods of maximum effort followed by short periods of rest.  Typically HIIT workouts are shorter so that you can give 100% effort the entire time.  Because you are going 100% you are pushing your heart rate which means more calories burn that an average cardio workout.

HIIT workouts make your muscle lean and strong.  They are only meant to be done 2-3 times per week.  (While mixing in your regular workout routine in between) After several weeks you will start to know the difference in your breathing.  For those of you that hate long workouts on a treadmill or elliptical or simply do not have the time to workout – this HIIT workout is for you.  HIIT workouts give you fast and positive results.

What I love most about this workout is that there are HIGH AND LOW OPTIONS!!! This means that anyone, and I mean ANYONE can do this workout.  I recommend starting out with the low options and make it a goal to get to the high ones.  When I started doing this workout, I had to do all of the low options.

Just click on the link below to get instant access to the workout.  Enjoy!
