At the gym. Good workout. (Taken with instagram)
No-equipment “hands up” workout
This workout can help strengthen your spinal muscles while working on your balance using your core, glutes and legs. And maintaining your arms up during the whole workout will make your shoulders burn. Take your time to perform each exercise in a slow controlled motion.
- 20 squats
- 20 alternative backward lunges
- 20 walking lunges (or alternative forward lunges if you don’t have enough space available)
- 20 bird dogs
- 10 warrior III yoga poses on right leg
- 10 warrior III yoga poses on left leg
- 10 get down & up starting with right leg (stay in a squat position when you’re up, make those legs burn!)
- 10 get down & up starting with left leg
It will take you around 25 minutes to perform this circuit 3 times. Keep your abs engaged to protect your lower back!

Doing this tonight!
Things people don’t tell you about getting healthier:
- You’re going to have to pee every 20 min.
- You’re going to kick your own ass through workouts you kinda (really actually) hate until its sore for days and somehow you’re going to love and adore it?
- You’re going to have this unexplainable, insatiable urge to post pictures of everything you eat on the internet.
