this one's for you.

First things first.
It's freezing.
Like.. ridiculous freezing.
Wind chill of -5??
I think it's time to move south.
Yuck.
 
But now onto the point of this post.
Because this one's for you.
Yes you.
The one who desperately wants to change her body image.
The one who wants to workout, just doesn't know where to start.
The one who can't afford a gym membership, but wants to start working on that summer body.
And the one who just wants to get more fit and healthier.
 
I've gotten some questions on different workouts to do at home.
...something that you can do in the comfort of your own home without a lot of equipment.
((I would eventually start investing in a set of dumbells. Start small and slowly build up.))
For this, I turn to Pinterest.
((You can go check out my board here))
 
But to save you some time and energy (cause we all need to preserve energy these days), I've decided to put a few workouts here to help get your started!
Now you don't have an excuse to not get your workout on tomorrow!!
 
So without further ado...
((Sorry... pictures will make this a long one))
 
First. Let's talk Tabata.
Tabata workouts are absolutely fantastic, killer, and quick.
Don't have a lot of time but want a great workout? Do a tabata.
A tabata workout is working killer hard for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds.
For example, segment 1:
20 sec Mountain Climbers
10 sec rest
20 sec Bicycle Crunches
10 sec rest
20 sec Mountain Climbers
10 sec rest
20 sec Bicycle Crunches
10 sec rest
(repeat)
You can go hard for 20 seconds right? Yea.. that's what I thought.
Need a timer to help keep track of time?
This is what I use:
Free iPhone app right there!!
Need some more tabata ideas? Here's a great website that offers some different exercises:
Warning: I sweat more during tabata workouts than any other workout I do. They're THAT awesome.

Hope those all help give you some ideas!!
Now go kill it!!

One more thing.
Don't be afraid of weights.
The more muscle you have, the more fat you'll burn throughout the day.
You don't have to become a body builder if you don't want to...
but don't skip out on strength training!!
 
Good luck and kick booty on your workout tomorrow!
