Shoulder Shredder Workout

Good morning! It’s a dreary day in Ocala so far and if the forecast is any indication, the rain isn’t going to dissipate anytime soon. I think that means I should crawl back into bed, snuggle under the covers and spend a few hours with my latest library book. (I’m still making my way through After Her.) But I guess that work thing is kind of important, huh?

Workout

Before the rain arrived, Ryan and I headed to the gym at 5 a.m.

On the agenda for today was this sweaty shoulder workout:

I focused on heavier weights during the shoulder strength exercises and paired them with some heart rate elevating cardio bursts and core exercises. I loved this format!

Links to demos of some of the exercises:

• Bench hopovers
• Mac raises <—A BodyPump favorite of mine!
• Bench taps

I am already psyched to put together a similarly formatted bicep + tricep workout to complete later this week.

Breakfast

Breakfast this morning was cold and refreshing.

A smoothie! 

Into the blender went:

• Blueberry Greek yogurt
• Frozen cherries
• Frozen strawberries
• Almond butter
• Almond milk

That’ll do the trick.

Now it’s time to boogie! Gotta do that work thang…
