Summer Workout


Hi cuties, I thought I would put together a workout regimen that I'm going to try and follow this summer! Hopefully it's killer! Let me know what y'all think down below in the comments!

My plan is to run two miles with Zach, my husband, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Hopefully I don't die on our runs in the mornings while trying to keep up with him.

On Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday I'm going to run sprints for 15 to 30 minutes. While doing sprints I switch between 6 to 10 mph for 30 seconds then rest for 30 seconds walking on 3 mph. I find it best to always do the cardio to begin your workout and then core workouts at the end when you're the most tired.

For equipment I use a mat and dumbbells.

Monday is Back and Arms (with a 2 mile run)

Tuesday is Legs and Core with sprints for 30 minutes. Core workouts are different each time.

Wednesday is Back & Chest with 2 miles

Thursday is Legs, Arms, & Core with sprints

Friday is Back & Chest with run

Saturday is Legs & Core with sprints

Core: Strength Day 3

Sit ups 4 sets of 20

Handstand 4 sets 1 minute

Side Plank with a Twist & weight 4 sets of 20

If you're not tired by the end of the workout increase the time and the reps, or lower it, it is always up to you and what your body can handle.

I always do 4 sets and I change the reps according to how light or heavy the dumbbells that I have available are. For lighter weight I typically do 20-30 reps, with heavier weights 8-12 reps.

I wish y'all the best of luck! I will check back in at the end of every month to tell you my experience and how it's going. At the end of the Summer I'll upload my before and after. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

xoxo,

M'Taya
