I hopped on and off cardio machines as I completed a five minute circuit in between three 10-minute rounds of cardio on traditional cardio machines. There was no time for boredom!
My take on the above workout looked like this:
- 10 min. incline walking
- 5 min. circuit
- 10 min. run
- 5 min. circuit
- 10 min. elliptical
- 5 minute circuit
The mini circuit helped shake things up and 45 minutes of cardio flew by! And yes, I felt totally goofy doing front kicks at the gym. I’m pretty sure I looked like a Rockette-wannabe.
Breakfast
Before bed last night, I prepared a batch of overnight oats for breakfast this morning.
I topped my oats with unsweetened shredded coconut and ate it before it was time for a shower!
Now I’m about to hit the road for Orlando. I’m heading to my old stomping grounds to hang out with my friend Laurel for the day! She’s getting married in May and we have a lot of wedding-related tasks to tackle today!
Enjoy your Saturday!

I like that workout! I get soooooo bored at each machine if I’m on it longer than 15 minutes, so this would work forme! Have fun in Orlando!
That workout looks killer…Im all about mixing it up these days and will try it soon! Fun!
This workout looks like a great way to shake it up and beat the cardio boredom. Have fun at the wedding!
Love workouts like these that fly by! I was just about to hop on the treadmill, so I may just give this a try. Have a great weekend!
That workout looks awesome. Can’t wait to try it!
Thanks for that work out- I can do it at home with our elliptical since we’re snowed in!!!
That circuit sounds really fun! I can go on the elliptical for hours without mixing it up, but I need variety to help with the treadmill. Thank you for posting this! I will definitely be trying it soon.
Oh wedding stuff – SO fun! Enjoy the day! 🙂
Have fun in Orlando 🙂
I am always so motivated by you and your morning workouts. I need to get on the ball with the morning workouts because I always feel so much better throughout the day and then don’t have to worry about finding time after work to exercise! It’s a no brainer…the worst part is getting out of bed, but then once I’m up, I’m up.
That looks like such a fun workout to try! Have a great time in Orlando! It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day here 🙂
I LOVE your overnight oats recipe….sooo good! Hope you’re enjoying your Saturday!
Great workout! When I saw “front kicks” on the image my first thought was “I’m going to look like a Rockette!”
I love unsweetened coconut. I add it to greek yogurt with some frozen blueberries for a snack.
This looks like an awesome workout!! I definitely will give it a try at the gym this morning once I get my coffee in me 🙂
Definitely going to bookmark this workout!
I love alternating cardio with my circuits! Thanks for the workout!
Love, love, love my morning workouts and I’m going to try your suggestion tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!
I am definitely going to try this cardio workout! Your overnighters always look delicious! What is your usual ingredients?
Have a great day in Orlando! I hope you girls get lots of wedding stuff done!
Thats so funny, I always feel alittle silly doing some of the circuit moves I do in the gym, especially if its crowded! But then I have to realize people are probably paying little to no attention to the silly girl kicking crazily in the corner… at least, I hope they aren’t 😉
Have a fabulous day in Orlando!! 🙂
As always, love these workouts! Have a lovely weekend hun!
I’ve been searching for unsweetened coconut in every grocery store, but they all have sugar in them! I think I need to order it online.
I think you like coconut almost as much as me 🙂 Great workout!!!
Oh wow, that looks like a fun workout! I’m thinking it would be quite difficult to complete that though if the gym is busy, huh? Which means I’d have to get up suuuuper early then?! 😛 I still can’t change my schedule even it I want to. It’s tough! haha
Have fun doing all the great wedding tasks!! yay!
Have lots of fun in Orlando. Can’t wait to try this, I should be embarrassed to do these front kicks at the gym but Im pretty sure they already think Im a whack-o for doing weighted bridge lifts and other embarrassing moves;)
I love circuit workouts. I am going to have to try this one this coming week!
I just wanted to let you know I did this workout today. It was great! I even got my hubby to do the last 15 minutes with me:)
Ruth
i’m so glad to hear it!! thanks for reporting back, ruth!
What a good workout…I will have to try this!
Have fun in Orlando!
That workout looks insane! I definitely need some motivation after being snowed in today, so I think I’ll add it to my routine tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!
I wish I loved oatmeal more, but the coconut topping does make it look more appealing.
Love this workout! Happy wedding shopping 🙂
Julie where do you get your unsweetened, shredded coconut? I’ve been searching and my whole foods only has a tiny container for about a million dollars.
Thanks!
Maureen
Yum! Talk about coconut woo! I need me some 🙂
My first cat’s name was Winston too! I was a big fan of WWF Wrestling when I was younger and when my dad told me that they were going to get me a pet for my birthday I decided that I wanted to name it after the British Bulldog’s bulldog named Winston. As it turns out we wound up getting a female cat instead of a male dog but since I had already put the name on a pet bowl I kept it (and I also didn’t have ideas for any other names)
i LOVE this. too funny! the new cat’s full name is winston churchill. 🙂
My wife pointed out that I neglected to mention that I got 4 cats for the price of one because Winston came to our house with 3 kittens in utero! The animal rescue organization from which she came said that she was spayed but evidently they were wrong. My dad called my mom’s house at like 6AM to tell me that he and my stepmom woke up one morning and saw Winston with three kittens at the foot of the bed! That was surprising to say the least…
Awesome workout!! Looks VERY intense…love the coconut mention 🙂
check out my blog post today about running hills! tough!

LOL – I laughed out load sitting at my desk when I read “Rockett wannabe” and my male co-workers all gave me a funny looks. Way to not be scared of the weird looks I’m sure went your way! I don’t have the guts to bust out attention grabbing exercises yet since I work out during the busy hours of 5 – 6:30pm. Kudos to you!
