Here’s a peek into what last week’s workouts looked like, as part of my monthly Week of Workouts series!
Week of Workouts: April 2021

Monday: Leg Workout
Monday’s workout was all kinds of comical. I waited until Rhett’s afternoon nap to work out which meant I had both Chase and Ryder with me outside. I streamed a 45-minute Burn Boot Camp leg workout which took me an hour to complete, thanks to all of the kid-related interruptions… but I got it done and it felt great!
Here’s what my version of the workout looked like (I modified quite a few of the exercises):
I loved the way it paired one weighted exercise with one plyo or bodyweight exercise. Phew!
Also, please take a minute to look at this photo Ryan snapped when came downstairs for some water during a quick work break and spied us in the driveway. It’s like a Where’s Waldo of kid + dog mayhem!
Whatever works, right!? And yes, the boys thoroughly enjoy taking every single toy out of the garage when they play outside.

Tuesday: Rest Day
No workout for me on Tuesday!

Wednesday: Biceps, Triceps and Core Workout + 10 Minute Bikini Arms Video
On Wednesday, I woke up bright and early and took myself through a biceps, triceps and core workout. It wasn’t crazy sweaty but it did get my arms and abs burnin’! I rounded out my workout with a 10-minute Tone It Up Bikini Arms Workout.

Thursday: Rest Day
Another rest day on Thursday!
-
Friday: Push/Pull Workout
On Friday, I completed a push/pull Burn Boot Camp workout in the garage during Rhett’s nap while Ryder played outside around me. This meant my workout included ample breaks for toddler interruptions again but it felt good to work my back, shoulders and chest in a triple set format.

Saturday: Rest Day
No workout for me again on Saturday!

Sunday: Plyometric Leg Workout + Jen Eddins’ 12-Minute Post- Workout Yoga Flow
On Sunday, Ryan and his dad took Chase and Ryder to Ryan’s soccer game while I stayed behind with Rhett so he could nap. I used most of Rhett’s nap time to work out and took myself through a throwback plyometric leg workout. I modified the workout a bit and reduced the rounds to 45-second (versus 60 seconds) and omitted the jumping lunges and tuck jumps completely. Since Rhett was still snoozing away, I also squeezed in a 12-minute post-workout yoga flow that felt amazing. Whenever I do yoga – even only 12 minutes of it – I find myself feeling like I need a lot more of it in my life. I completed my entire workout in our driveway and it was SO beautiful outside. Something about mid-60 degree temperatures and sunny skies makes a workout feel a million times more enjoyable. I just love outdoor exercise!

Love that iPad holder! Where is it from?
Hi!! It’s a Flippy iPad/book/magazine holder — it’s basically like a firm pillow but super lightweight. I kove it & you can get it on Amazon –> https://amzn.to/3v4Z14K
This post was so inspiring. I need a bit of a shake-up in my workout routine. I’ve been working out from home as well and it’s nice to mix in new things. I ride the Peloton a bunch and do live/recorded strength and HIIT classes, but I’m going to give a couple of these a go this week for something different! Thanks Julie!
P.S. Can’t wait until the weather in Boston is a little nicer for outdoor workouts!
Thank you, Amanda! Hope you enjoy them!! And I hope spring weather finds its way to you ASAP!
My workouts lately have been all walks at nearly 37 weeks pregnant. I’ll be happy to have so many of your workouts and weekly accomplishments to follow when I’m ready to safely return to exercise!
YESSSS to all the pregnancy walks!! So excited you’re on the homestretch!!
Been loving Nourish Move Love’s workouts. I am 35 weeks pregnant so I feel like strength based (with much lighter weights these days) & mini band workouts are my favorite. Cardio is too hard at this point although I do try and walk & do low intensity peloton rides.
Her workouts are awesome!!!! Plus, I genuinely love her personality in her videos which makes them more fun to follow.
I would love to workout with you!! Have you ever considered taking your fans through a Zoom-type workout? I’ve fallen off the wagon hard when it comes to working out, but your posts always inspire me.
Where’d you get your top?
American Eagle but last year 🙂
I think you shared your pink water bottle before – can you charge again?
