My day began extra early since I had to be at the gym before it opened at 5 a.m. Another morning on the early shift!
About an hour into my shift, I popped into the break room for breakfast.
Today I packed Greek yogurt and Kashi cereal (picture taken last night when I assembled it) and it did a good job of holding me over until it was time for my morning snack.
During my shift, I met with one of my personal training clients and took her through a 60-minute workout. I told her that I feel like I am spoiled with her as a client because she always arrives at the gym ready to work and doesn’t complain at all when I put her through some challenging workouts.
Boot Camp Workout
After my shift at the gym was over, I took a boot camp class before heading home. The air conditioning went out in the gymnasium so the class was extra sweaty, but it was awesome. The instructor told me I could share the workout with you guys and I have a feeling that my fellow circuit workout fanatics will like it a lot!
We completed each exercise in the mini circuit for 30 seconds before moving onto the next exercise and completing that one for 30 seconds as well. We then repeated the mini circuit two times for a total of three rounds before moving onto the next circuit. (I hope that makes sense!) The kicker was that in between each mini circuit we ran for two minutes or completed one minute of side shuffles around the gym. I loved it!

Lunch
When I got home, I quickly threw together a pasta dish for lunch, figuring that Ryan and I could reheat the leftovers for dinner since we have plans to meet up with friends for a game night later this evening.
In the mix:
- Lean ground beef
- Onion
- Tomato sauce
- Cheese
- Mashed cauliflower
- Pasta
Not too shabby!
Hope you’re having a great day!

Julie, when you put someone through a workout do you do it with them or just watch them?
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your website. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant
for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a
designer to create your theme? Superb work!
I look forward to trying the work out. Thanks for share new workouts! I love it
I tried this workout this morning and loved it! The jumping lunges at the end were killer… Had to mix in some regular lunges 😉 Thanks for helping me get back in the groove after a holiday weekend!
