Hello lovlies! Hope you are all having a great Monday!

My Monday has actually been quite successful so far!

I am a sister of Alpha Delta Pi sorority, and I am lucky enough to be my chapters T.A.K.E chair! T.A.K.E stands for The Ali Kemp Education Foundation, which helps to educate women on self defense. Each year at my school, the foundation comes and puts on a class for all women who want to attend, and teaches them simple self defense techniques in case they are ever needed. I get to plan this amazing event for next year, and I had a meeting today with last year's chair. We hammered out a lot of details, and started brainstorming for next years event. I have felt behind on this for awhile now, and now I feel like I am just where I should be with it. So I'm feeling quite accomplished right now.

Another reason that today was so successful is that I'm officially signed up at my new gym, and am ready to go to my 10 am class tomorrow! I recently tried out this gym, which is only ten minutes away from my school, and fell in love. It kicks my butt in just the right way. The gym is called Tuff Girl Fitness, and it is all women and in a class setting. After my trial classes, I felt amazing and I'm so excited to feel that way all the time now. I'll post tomorrow how my workout went!

As for today's workout, here is my plan...

However, I may tweak it and go on the elliptical instead of running, because it is quite chilly in Connecticut. As long as you are getting some cardio after the ab tabata portion, it's fine!

Rise and Shine!

Good Morning My Lovelies

There is a little motivation to start your day off with!

So today is supposed to be gross out here at home. They are calling for rain all damn day. This means that it is a great day to spend with my boyfriend, which is exactly what I am planning on doing today. I'm lucky that he lives in the same hometown as me, and that we go to school together. It means I get to see him a lot. I'm really excited to spend the day with him today.

However, because of the gross weather and the lack of a gym membership I am going to have to take my fitness into my own hands today. I just finished a PE class at my school and it taught me a lot of workouts that only take about ten minutes and completely kick your ass. They also do not require any equipment which is awesome. Today I will be using one of those workouts that I learned and I'm going to share it with you. 

Here is is! So I am going to be posting a lot of WOD posts, so keep your eye out. For this one the point of it is to do each 'round' six times, and do it as fast as possible. If you want to you can time yourself, and save that time. Then in a few weeks you can try the workout again and see if you got better. We did that for my PE class, and in a mere few weeks I improved my time by a whole two minutes. Now this can also be modified to 5 burpees, which I recommend if you are a beginner because burpees kick any and everyone's ass. Don't be afraid to modify! 

This does not look like much, but do not let it fool you. The best way to keep count of what 'round' you are on, I like to use playing cards. Just lay out six of them and when you are done with each round just flip the card over and voila!

If anyone tries this out, let me know how it went!

Have a great day lovies!
