Week of Workouts (June 2017)

June 22, 2017 by Julie 22 Comments

Good morning and Happy Thursday to YOU! The weekend is nearly here and if you’re looking for an extra little push to get you through the next two days and are on the lookout for a new workout to try, I hope today’s post will appeal to you and give you that little extra burst of motivation.

Week of Workouts

Today I am sharing a week of workouts as part of my Weekly Workouts series! Every month, I’ve been sharing a peek into what one week of my workouts looks like and you may check out the past recaps here.

I figured last week might be a decent week to recap since I was away from home visiting my family in Florida. I am always curious to see how people handle working out when they’re out of their usual routine, so I figured I’d give you a little peek into what a rather unusual week of workouts looked like for me while I was away last week!

My workouts while I was in Jacksonville included a mix of group exercise classes, treadmill HIIT workouts, upper body strength training, core work and more!

Week of Workouts

Monday: BodyPump

  • 10 Minutes Treadmill Walking Warm Up + BodyPump Class

I jumped at the chance to take a morning BodyPump class at my dad’s gym on Monday morning during my visit to Jacksonville. BodyPump will always have a soft spot in my heart since I credit the class for helping me fall in love with strength training. It was challenging, as always!

Tuesday: Treadmill HIIT Workout + Core

  • 25 Minute Treadmill HIIT Workout
  • Exercise Ball Ab Workout

25 MINUTE HIIT Treadmill Workout

I hit up the gym in Jacksonville to take myself through a quick cardio workout on the treadmill and topped it off with my nine-minute exercise ball ab workout for some core work. It was a fast and sweaty workout – in and out in 35 minutes – but it was a good one!

Wednesday: Off

  • Rest

Wednesday was a mid-week rest day from the gym. I took the day off in favor of spending some quality time with my family at the Jacksonville Zoo!

Thursday: Upper Body Workout

  • 15 Minutes Elliptical + Upper Body Workout

Upper Body Workout

My workouts during my week in Florida were a bit sporadic and after a day off on Wednesday, I was craving a challenging workout that focused on my upper body. I warmed up on the elliptical for about 15 minutes while I planned out a workout on my phone that I figured would keep things moving. The workout included supersets, triple sets and descending repetitions so I never got bored. I LOVED this upper body workout and will definitely keep it on hand for the future.

Friday: Off

  • Rest

Friday was a rest day from the gym thanks to a day of traveling! Chase and I flew back to Charlotte on Friday morning and since I have a really hard time motivating myself to make it to the gym after noon, a workout didn’t happen.

Saturday: Off

  • Rest

I hoped to sneak in a quick at home leg workout on Saturday morning before we headed off to the North Carolina Transportation Museum for Father’s Day but when Chase was up earlier than anticipated while Ryan was already off working out at the gym, my workout plans were scrapped. I was actually more than fine with this change in plans since easing into the weekend with banana bread protein pancakes actually sounded more appealing to me on Saturday morning anyway. I think I was still tired from traveling and another rest day was just what my body needed.

Sunday: Orangetheory

  • Orangetheory Endurance Workout

Orangetheory Cornelius

Clearly two rest days in a row paid off because I practically skipped into Orangetheory on Sunday morning with tons of energy! I was slightly disappointed when I heard that Sunday’s class would be an endurance day (my least favorite of the OTF formats) but ended up LOVING the workout. It was fast paced and broken up into three blocks which kept things moving and way more interesting than past OTF endurance workouts that have kept me running intervals on the treadmill for nearly half the class.

BONUS

Since last week’s workouts included three rest days, I wanted to share a “bonus workout” with you guys and highlight Monday’s full leg workout here as well the lower body didn’t get much love in my weekly recap above!

Monday: Leg Workout

Leg Workout Burn Boot Camp

  • Burn Boot Camp Leg Workout

Every Burn Boot Camp begins with a warm up and ends with a finisher and while I often leave them out of my workout recaps, they are definitely an important piece of the puzzle since the warm up gets your blood flowin’ and the finisher is often a quick burst of intense exercise that kicks my booty one final time. Monday’s leg workout focused on strength straining with some plyometric exercises in the mix to keep things interesting.

    I honestly love this series Julie! It gives me new ideas for workouts to try. If you use weights I try to see what I have around my house that can help me replicate it since I don’t belong to a gym lol.

    I love seeing your workouts! I’ve never done orange theory but I’m always seeing things about it, do you go often? Do you enjoy it??

      I don’t get the chance to go very often but I LOVE it when I do!! They don’t have childcare so it’s not something I do during the week but if I can make my way there on the weekend on occasion, I’m all about it. I have a 10-class pack and that has lasted me 8 months so far, so clearly I don’t get there as often as I’d like. It’s SUCH a great workout!

    While I’m pretty good at motivating myself to wokr out, I’m not great at finding the balance between strength,cardio and yoga! I love seeing how other people schedule it and manage to fit it all in in a week. Thank you for sharing this overview!

    Orange Theory can either be the death of me or make me feel as though I am on cloud nine. I find if I space out my OTF classes I perform much better.

    Hey Julie! Love these posts – I’m so psyched to try the medicine ball workout. Your workouts always inspire me to get moving, since my desk job can leave me feeling pretty lethargic some days. Thanks for putting these together!

    I love hearing what other people are doing in terms of workouts. I hope you continue writing about yours.

    Because I use the gym at my university, there have been some closures lately, first for convocation, then some high school graduation ceremonies, and now for renovations. It’s frustrating but I’ve still been able to get in some workouts.

    This is a great post. Thanks! In the upper body workout, can you explain shoulder taps? Is that full plank position and alternate tapping your opposite shoulder? Thanks.

    Love to see that you build in more than one rest day! I’m 22 weeks pregnant and really struggling with motivation (as I’m sure you are as a mom!). It’s nice to see that other people skip days too and don’t stress too much about it.

    Question: you mentioned you planned your workout on your phone (while you were warming up) – how do you do that? Do you use an app or something else or..? Curious! thanks for the recap!
