6×6 Workout

May 22, 2013 by Julie 81 Comments

Good morning!

A delayed morning post is coming your way today thanks to our internet. It has been acting super funky lately and the signal keeps going in and out. It’s pretty great.

Anyway, back to the usual…

Workout

Today’s workout began with 25 minutes on the elliptical. I spent some time flipping through Fitness Magazine while listening to music and enjoyed a less-intense cardio session. Once I was done, I jotted down a quick circuit workout to complete on the gym floor.

Check it out!

6x6 Workout

I completed three mini circuits that included two exercises each for a total of six exercises. I did six reps of each exercise and went through each mini circuit six times. It was sweatastic!

Here are links to two of the exercises that might not be as familiar to some of you out there:

  • Stability ball roll-ins
  • Plank jacks

After my time at the gym, I headed home and prepared a batch of scrambled eggs with mozzarella cheese, spinach and avocado.

Catch ya after lunch!

    Looks like an awesome workout! 🙂 Just wondering when you have time ( I know you are really busy with your new job!) if you could update your daily workout page… Sometimes I forget to write down/pin your workouts and it’s an easy way for me to go back and check! 🙂 Thanks again for all the great sweaty workouts.

    I’ve been all about the pasta bakes lately … so easy, and you can switch up the veggies and sauces you use to keep from getting bored! http://daybydaymasterpiece.com/2013/04/17/springtime-veggie-pasta-bake/

    I tried your tuna salad last week and I am officially obsessed! I’ve eaten it for lunch every day this week 🙂

    I also just tried cauliflower rice for the first time and now love it too.

    Keeping this workout in mind for the future! I like simple circuits where you repeat things a lot, it definitely wears out my muscles and it’s faster to get done since I’m not wasting a bunch of time figuring out what I should be doing haha

    Hello – Long time reader first time commenter. I love your web-site. I look forward to reading it each day. The other night for dinner I made a spaghetti squash (I bake mine) While it was baking, I grilled some chicken on the grill outside. I sauteed some garlic and onions together with some fresh cherry tomatoes. At the very end I added a bit of Feta Cheese. Once the Squash was done, I added it to a bowl, mixed in the tomato mixture, and topped with chicken. It was delcicious and nutritious!

    I LOVED your BBQ turkey meatloaf! I’m not even a fan of meat, but that was delicious, and so easy! I might have to make it again next week. Thanks for the recipe!

    My favorite new recipe is the Fitnessista’s Breakfast Cookie Dough Cereal. I love oats, but the traditional and overnight versions can get a bit boring. This is a fun way to mix it up. Here’s the link to the recipe: http://fitnessista.com/2010/08/serious-cereal/.

    By the way, it tastes good any time of the day 🙂

    http://healthylivingrevelations.com/2013/05/21/halfway-through-the-sundae-shake/ This is the “halfway through the sundae” shake

    and this is a kiwi shake. http://healthylivingrevelations.com/2013/05/16/healthy-kiwi-shake/

    They are both absolutely to die for and perfect for after a workout

    I’d personally argue regarding the majority of folks that has to be an incredible exercise routine. I uncertainty an average are capable of doing 25 mere seconds of constant pushups, stay ups, or perhaps leaping jacks with a quality speed.
