Hello my wonderful friends!
This morning I taught a boot camp class at the gym that had people jumping all over the place and working up a sweat.
Links to video demonstrations of some of the exercises:
I initially planned for the class to run through the workout two times for a 48-minute workout, but we had to cut things short to have time to cool down and stretch before another instructor needed the sound system. I can’t wait to run through this one myself soon!
Lunch
After working through the morning, I came home for a quick lunch.
I quickly downed a green smoothie while I prepped my main meal.
On the stovetop, I sautéed chicken sausage and spinach in olive oil while I heated up some frozen vegetables in the microwave. I then combined everything together for one heck of a delicious lunch!
Yum!
Hope you’re having a fantastic Wednesday!
Question of the Afternoon
- What was the last group exercise class you attended?

Hi Julie,
I was at Old Navy today and thought of you:

The long sleeved tunic you like is back! 🙂
YAYYYYY! Thank you SO much for sharing!!
Julie, do you get the tunic in tall or is it long enough in a regular length? Did you find that it shrinks at all? Fit TTS?
I think it’s long enough at the regular length. And it hasn’t shrunk at all for me, but I don’t put it in the dryer. I LOVE IT!
I put mine in the dryer and it never shrunk. I bought it last year in that weird pink/purple color. Just ordered it in gray- thanks for sharing. I LOVE that top!
Spinning this morning bright and early with the sunrise!
I’m a recent CrossFit convert so I did that Monday afternoon. About to head to a class now!
i did a “total body combat” class today for the first time. it was basically boot camp. fun!
The last group class I took was probably body pump 3-4 months ago. I know it’s bad. I need to get back to them but right now im injured so having to lay low!
I LOVE your workouts, but it’s hard for me to stick to something if I’m on my own in the weight room… So I stick to classes like spin and hot yoga- I need to branch out to some body pump or something!
Hi Julie! I know this is sort of off topic, but for your Dad’s 60th birthday gift, did you get all of the supplies at Hobby Lobby? I’m doing the same for my friend’s 30th. Let me know!
Yes!!
BodyPump! I finally took my first class in September and I have been going weekly ever since…I am hooked! Your enthusiasm for the class is what prompted me to give it a try…so thank you 🙂
The last group exercise class I attended was a Yoga class, and before then a boot camp class. A little different classes, but there’s a time and place for both, right?
Spinning last night
Can’t wait to try this workout. Last group class I went to was Tueaday morning fit camp! And last night I had intramural volleyball for my sorority which counts as a group exercise kind of…haha I am so sore today! I look awkward walking on campus I’m sure.
Today’s late morning group class was tabata practical strength. Excellent class!
I taught BODYPUMP on Monday!! And I teach again tonight!! 🙂
Yayyyy!
I just have to tell you that I love your blog. I LOVE your blog. I look forward to reading it every morning and I’m always checking back to see if you’ve posted something new even though I have subscribed to get your latest posts.
Thank you for all that you do. You are such an inspiration, and you always motivate me to eat clean and work hard. You seem like such a sweet, beautiful person. May God bless you always! I am looking forward to doing your workout! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Love,
Mariah

This was such a kind comment and I really appreciate the time you took to share this with me. It means a lot! Thank you!
Last group class is bikram today! And a bootcamp class before that.
Your workout looks great! What is your train of thought for putting these circuits together?
Last time I taught a group fitness class was 2 weeks ago–right before I had my baby girl!
I love a good circuit–can’t wait to try it soon 🙂
I did a TRX Yoga class last night and it is amazing! I love the TRX bands and am going to eventually get a set for myself.
I love this workout! I can’t wait to try it! My husband and I haven’t been able to find an affordable gym since we moved, so the last class I went to was probably back in May. It’s been way too long, and I miss group fitness classes so much!
Boot camp lst night! Love your workout though and will give it a try fri. Thanks
Every time I see chicken sausage on your blog I decide that I need to get some but seem to always forget when I am at the grocery store. I need to remember this time!
I will have to give your workout a go this week! I looks shvetty for sure 🙂
My Y dropped Les Mills in favor of BTS so I visited another in our area last night for BodyStep Athletic and cx-works. It was like a throwback to the good ‘ol days… 🙂
Also, can you explain this workout? Are you doing each activity in 1 for 45 seconds before moving on to 2? Or the first of 1, the first of 2, the first of 3,…etc. and then the second of 1, the second of 2, the second of 3, etc.?
Thanks!
I’ve hurt my neck & back so mine was dance fusion on Saturday. Laying low for a few more days. Can’t wait to run to old navy & see if they have that top!
I create my own home workouts but love to go to group yoga class. The energy of the group always lifts me up 🙂
I went to yoga this morning, but it didn’t leave me with much of a sweat. So will probably do an at-home workout tonight. This one looks great!
Looks like a great workout! I love a good circuit 🙂
What are those round, yellow things in your lunch bowl? I can’t figure it out!
Hi Julie! Will you be doing the book club again anytime soon? Allegiant is out now! 🙂
I used to love Body Step but now I’m addicted to CrossFit!
Last group class I went to was a hot yoga class.
your lunch looks delicious!! 🙂
Thanks for the awesome workout. I want to do it tomorrow morning. It sounds very intense and challenging in a good way. 😉
I was wondering if you might know the answer to a question I have regarding the Nike app you have been using. It looks like a fabulous app, and I am very interested in the workouts since you love them so much.
Do you know if I can download the app onto my computer? I don’t have an iphone, or android, or anything like that. I just have a simple Tracfone, so I’m not able to get all those cool apps on there. I would love to get the app on my computer if that is possible.
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer. 🙂
Have a lovely night and may God bless you always!

the last group fitness class i went to was pole dance level 1/2. i thought about moving up to the next level but i’m too nervous!
Orange Theory – love!!!!!
Can’t wait to try this out! Thanks for sharing!
The last class I did was Body Pump, although I’ve been doing many practice Body Attack classes at home to get myself prepped for teaching it in a couple weeks!
Also, love that Bolthouse green juice! I used to get them all the time back in Canada; such a great grab-and-go snack!
Last class was Body Combat! That’s probably my favourite Les Mills class! And then Body Pump will be next on the list tomorrow! 🙂
This looks like an awesome workout. I need more workouts that switch things up to keep me motivated. The last class I did was Zumba!
I did a spin class with my sister– so fun!
Oh that workout looks great, I printed it out and will be doing it tonight at the gym after spin, yay! Thanks!!!
Totally trying this out tomorrow night! I’ve already done my workout for the day – a run outside at lunch 🙂
I went to a 45-minute cycle class that kicked my butt! My quads were burnin’ after two songs of sprint intervals, and I felt the sweet soreness today.
CXWorks and Body Attack on Tues and BodyPump last night!
Great workout! I’ll have to put it in my arsenal.
