Starting Saturday the Sweaty Way

September 4, 2010 by Julie 21 Comments

Today started out on a super-sweaty note with a great cardio workout at the gym.

I took today’s workout up to a secluded loft at our gym that personal trainers typically use to train their clients and take them through plyometric and boot camp-style workouts.

Today the loft was deserted so I took advantage of the private space and completed two rounds of Jessica’s At Home Cardio Blast workout.

I jotted down Jessica’s workout back in April and have kept it in my little gym bag ever since so I always have it on hand just in case I feel inspired to put myself through a heart-pumpin’ workout.

The elliptical also got some attention during my morning workout, as I warmed up with 15 minutes on the elliptical and finished my workout with 10 minutes on machine.

Post workout, Ryan and I took Sadie on a 2 mile walk around the lake near our apartment.

Now it’s time for a BIG breakfast! I ate a quesadilla (string cheese microwaved on a whole wheat tortilla) before the gym, but my tummy wants mo’ food!

After breakfast, I have plans to lay by the pool with my friend Merri before heading back to our apartment to tackle wedding invitations and run some errands with Ryan.

See ya in a bit!

    Wow, that sounds like an intense workout!! My new fitness goal is to add a day or two of strength training each week (I am such a cardio/running girl–but that wasn’t always the case!), and this seems like an awesome workout to do. Thank you, Julie and Jessica!

    That workout would definitely kill me! And 10 minutes on the elliptical at the end to boot! I’m impressed!

    It’s COLD here today (I have on a long sleeve AND sweatshirt) so have fun at the beach!

    I love having those areas secluded so I can do my own thing and not worry I’m looking like an idiot. You probably look cute doing burpees, but I’m not so graceful. 😉

    Sounds like the perfect workout area! What kind of gym do you go to? Is it a big, chain gym or a small local one?

      it’s a chain gym, but not too commercialized (like an LA fitness). i love it!

    You have awesome handwriting- it’s so unique! Have you seen that program where you can turn your handwriting into a font for free? You should totally do it! 🙂

    I did that workout last night and oh man was my heart pumping! I wanted to do some elliptical afterwards but I was tiiiiired. Thanks for sharing it though, it’s definitely a good quick TOUGH workout to do on my off days from running 🙂

    […] Anyhoo, here are two of the exercise routines that I have done lately. I realise that I’ve come a long way strength wise when I think back to August and how few real push-ups I could do; I tend to set my routine limit at 10 in a row but I would hazard a guess that I can do about 15 in a row now (sure beats the original 5 ). The first routine comes from Peanut Butter Fingers. […]
