Cardio Kickboxing

To prepare for the massive amounts of turkey and pumpkin pie I will be consuming tomorrow, my friend and I decided to try a new work out class yesterday in preparation for the big day. Being adventurous, we strolled into a Kickboxing class eager to give it a try.

Now, the next morning, I'm sore like no other. Kickboxing kicked my butt. The class combined cardio with kickboxing moves for an hour, and then ended with a 15 minute ab workout routine. As intense as it was, I loved it! I felt my muscles getting stronger and my endurance picking up. And, of course, being sore the next day is always a sign of a good workout.

What are you doing to prepare your body for Thanksgiving?

Work it Girl

I will NOT gain the freshman fifteen. Since I've been at school I've struggled a bit with late night snacking, but I've attempted to make up for it through my work-out schedule.
Yet, it's a new month and time for a more intense and healthy lifestyle.  So, I present to you...
NEW NOVEMBER!

I've decided to embark on a new look at health and fitness. By pairing healthy meals with a varying work out routine, I'm hoping I'll be able to be more fit, fresh, and energized.

Here's a look at my fitness week:

Monday: Cardio

Tuesday: Zumba

Wednesday: Cardio + toning

Thursday: Yoga (ohmmmm)

Friday: Cardio + pilates

Saturday: Total Body

Sunday: Rest day!

This is just a general look at my week. I'll post daily about my meal plan for the day and a more detailed look at my workout routine. Do you have a routine you like to follow? If so, post below! I'd LOVE to get some new ideas!
