I took today’s workout up to a secluded loft at our gym that personal trainers typically use to train their clients and take them through plyometric and boot camp-style workouts.
Today the loft was deserted so I took advantage of the private space and completed two rounds of Jessica’s At Home Cardio Blast workout.
I jotted down Jessica’s workout back in April and have kept it in my little gym bag ever since so I always have it on hand just in case I feel inspired to put myself through a heart-pumpin’ workout.
The elliptical also got some attention during my morning workout, as I warmed up with 15 minutes on the elliptical and finished my workout with 10 minutes on machine.
Post workout, Ryan and I took Sadie on a 2 mile walk around the lake near our apartment.
Now it’s time for a BIG breakfast! I ate a quesadilla (string cheese microwaved on a whole wheat tortilla) before the gym, but my tummy wants mo’ food!
After breakfast, I have plans to lay by the pool with my friend Merri before heading back to our apartment to tackle wedding invitations and run some errands with Ryan.
See ya in a bit!
I love (and hate) that workout too!
Jessica @ How Sweet
Wow, that sounds like an intense workout!! My new fitness goal is to add a day or two of strength training each week (I am such a cardio/running girl–but that wasn’t always the case!), and this seems like an awesome workout to do. Thank you, Julie and Jessica!
Chelsea @ Strawberry Sweat
I love the photos you take of yourself! Your faces never disappoint!

i looked at the workout and decided it would kill me. that probably means i should do it, huh?
Heather (heather’s dish)
That workout would definitely kill me! And 10 minutes on the elliptical at the end to boot! I’m impressed!
It’s COLD here today (I have on a long sleeve AND sweatshirt) so have fun at the beach!
Kristen @ That Hoosier Girl
I love having those areas secluded so I can do my own thing and not worry I’m looking like an idiot. You probably look cute doing burpees, but I’m not so graceful.
Nicole – yuppie yogini
I love that picture of you! You always make the cutest faces!

A deserted space filled with exercise equipment sounds HEAVENLY!!! That’s like my dream.
Caitlin
Now THAT is a workout!

Sounds like the perfect workout area! What kind of gym do you go to? Is it a big, chain gym or a small local one?
Bee Goes Bananas
it’s a chain gym, but not too commercialized (like an LA fitness). i love it!

You have awesome handwriting- it’s so unique! Have you seen that program where you can turn your handwriting into a font for free? You should totally do it!

Total off topic here but your Vera Bradley wristlet is really cute! I love Vera Bradley!

I did that workout last night and oh man was my heart pumping! I wanted to do some elliptical afterwards but I was tiiiiired. Thanks for sharing it though, it’s definitely a good quick TOUGH workout to do on my off days from running
