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! 🙂
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers says
YAYYYYY! Thank you SO much for sharing!!
Nicole says
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?
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers says
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!
Michele says
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!
Shel@PeachyPalate says
Spinning this morning bright and early with the sunrise!
Natalie @ Free Range Human says
I’m a recent CrossFit convert so I did that Monday afternoon. About to head to a class now!
mary @ minutes per mile says
i did a “total body combat” class today for the first time. it was basically boot camp. fun!
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
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!
Brittany @ The Fit Phoenician says
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!
Jill says
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!
peanutbutterfingers says
Yes!!
Liz L. says
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 🙂
Ashley says
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?
Karen from www.fabinyour40s.com says
Spinning last night
Sky@theblondeinblack says
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.
Andrea says
Today’s late morning group class was tabata practical strength. Excellent class!
Katie @ running4cupcakes says
I taught BODYPUMP on Monday!! And I teach again tonight!! 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
Yayyyy!

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!
Taylor @ Singletrackedmind says
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?
Annette@FitnessPerks says
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 🙂
Molly says
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.
Becky says
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!
Sue Alton says
Boot camp lst night! Love your workout though and will give it a try fri. Thanks
Christine says
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 🙂
Nicole says
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!
Jan Klein says
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!
Rumi says
I create my own home workouts but love to go to group yoga class. The energy of the group always lifts me up 🙂
Ashley says
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!
Michelle @ A Healthy Mrs says
Looks like a great workout! I love a good circuit 🙂
Gretchen says
What are those round, yellow things in your lunch bowl? I can’t figure it out!
Brooke says
Hi Julie! Will you be doing the book club again anytime soon? Allegiant is out now! 🙂
Mandy says
I used to love Body Step but now I’m addicted to CrossFit!
Jan @ Sprouts n Squats says
Last group class I went to was a hot yoga class.
your lunch looks delicious!! 🙂
Mariah says
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!

Can’t wait to try this out! Thanks for sharing!
Kelly @ Femme Fitale says
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!
Marilyn @ The Salonniere's Apartments says
Last class was Body Combat! That’s probably my favourite Les Mills class! And then Body Pump will be next on the list tomorrow! 🙂
Melissa @ Freeing Imperfections says
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!
Livi says
I did a spin class with my sister– so fun!
Tara says
Oh that workout looks great, I printed it out and will be doing it tonight at the gym after spin, yay! Thanks!!!
Anna @ Fitness à la Anna says
Totally trying this out tomorrow night! I’ve already done my workout for the day – a run outside at lunch 🙂
Brianna K. @ Hungry Gator Gal says
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.
Barbie says
CXWorks and Body Attack on Tues and BodyPump last night!
Liesl @ Fitnessinthekitchen says
Great workout! I’ll have to put it in my arsenal.
