We’re halfway through the workweek already! Woop!
I was up bright and early this morning to squeeze in my workout before it was time to teach the boot camp class at my gym.
For today’s workout, I warmed up on the treadmill for 10 minutes before completing the bicep workout I shared on the blog a little more than a month ago.
Once my workout was done, I headed into the break room to grab lunch and plan out today’s boot camp class.
Much like when I teach TRX, when I teach boot camp, I demonstrate the movements for everyone ahead of time but don’t do the workout with the class since the format of the class has everyone doing something different and I need to be available to answer questions, check form, time the circuits, etc. (All of the instructors at our gym teach these classes in a similar fashion.)
Today’s boot camp workout was very similar to this boot camp workout with three minute stations. I changed out about 50 percent of the exercises and had everyone working up a sweat.
And for my fellow group exercise instructors who may be on the lookout for some pump up music for your classes, below you will find the playlist I used for today’s class!
If you’ve downloaded songs from some of my other workout playlists, a few of the above songs may look awfully familiar to you. They’re some of my favorites!
Lunch
After teaching and working through the rest of the morning, I drove home to let Sadie out and grab lunch. On the menu for today was a salad using leftover seasoned grouper from Monday night’s fish tacos.
Before topping spring mix with the fish and shredded cheese, I drizzled the greens with a dressing I quickly whipped together using olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey and cumin (a delicious combination I owe to a Cook Smarts recipe)!
I also had a Kashi crunchy chocolate chip chia granola & seed bar.
Not a bad lunch for something that came together in five minutes!
Now it’s time to head back out the door. I am hoping to get a hair cut after work today because boy oh boy do I need it. Yikes!

Great playlist for classes! If I was in one of yours you might find me rocking out and lip singing. It’s probably for the best that I’ve never had the opportunity. 😉

Great songs!
Another blogger gave me the idea to warm up the the song “Happy” by running in place and doing a burpee every time the word happy is sang. I know it should be miserable but it actually somehow makes me in a better mood before my workout!
Ahhh this is awesome!!! (In a sick way of course)
The song “Classic” by MKTO is officially my new favorite! Check it out!!
Love that one!
I (still) can’t get enough of Miley and Will.I.Am Fall Down, I listen to it on repeat some days!
