Hi Friends!
I’ve got a fun little workout for you! Before I started Crossfit, I used to make up my own workouts all the time. I love coming up with them, so when my Blend Sponsor, Blue Diamond Almonds, asked me to create a workout to help them kick off their Feel Good for Summer campaign….I jumped at the chance!
One of the reasons I love Blue Diamond as a company is because they believe in encouraging all aspects of health. Their products are heart healthy and delicious, but instead of focusing just on food, they also focus on physical and mental health. They encourage their customers to be active, spend time with their families and enjoy life…while also fueling themselves with healthy food!
This workout is a great way to get your heart pumping. It involves all body weight movements so all you need is yourself! So grab a towel if the grass makes you itchy and head out the backyard for some fun in the sun!
Here’s a breakdown of a couple of the movements you may not be familiar with. Click the link to see a video:
Burpees
Side Kicks
Plank
Air punches – please put a little more effort into your punches!
Happy Friday!
Let’s chat: Do you have any fun weekend plans?!
Enjoy!

I am such a weird-o… I actually love burpees. Can’t wait til after this weekend’s competition because I’ll have a little lifting break and get to do some different things like this! 🙂
I love your workouts, Lindsay. Pinned!
I love your workouts Lindsay. They are always so creative. Thanks for this.
I’m excited to try this workout soon!
This weekend is going to be so much fun. Tomorrow, I’m experimenting with new recipes (now that I’m home, I can!). Saturday, we’re going shopping for things (you know, semi-important stuff, like food and a collar) for our new puppy. And Sunday, we’re getting our new puppy! Too excited.
Ooh, and I am pinning this one!
I love backyard workouts when the weather is warm. I spend 99% of my time out there anyway so why not throw out some air punches and burpees! 😉 Pinned!
I love finding new workouts and this looks great! I’m heading down to cheer on pgh marathoners this weekend!
Ohhh I love this!! I will be pinning it 😉
i’m going to nashville for my bff’s bachelorette party – woot woot!
I love simple, effective workouts!
I’m looking for new a new workout so this is perfect. I’ll try it on Monday! My plans for the weekend? Run the Flying Pig!
Before I started crossfit I would do workouts like these too! I love these kind of quick/around 30 minute workouts that get your heart pumping but dont last hours and hours!
Great workout! My quads would be burning after all those lunges and squats!
I love this! I am really getting into cross training, and this summer when my kids are home full time I will need some things I can do at home, the park, or the beach
Looks like a fun workout..off to pin it now! 🙂
I love these – just pinned. It’s so nice to have a whole variety of at home workouts to choose from!
This workout looks awesome + I love blue diamond almonds, so any post sponsored by them is sure to be good! 🙂 this weekend I have a dinner out planned, a nice relaxing Saturday, and a family lunch Sunday! 🙂
Orange County 1/2 Marathon! I love work-outs like this. I usually incorporate them into a run. Run 1 mile, do 1 set, run another mile, do set 2, etc.
Oh I love this workout! I’m going to pin it for the gym 😀
Love workouts like this – can’t wait to try it!!
(you’re right those air punches weren’t very serious looking!)
Love this! Today is a “rest” day for me but I might try and do some activity and this looks like fun! Those arm punches are ridiculous…she was not even into it! My weekend plans include being lazy and going out to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this weekend!!
This sounds like a great way to get in a quick workout! This would be great to do at the dog park while Bentley runs around too.
Love! All such great exercises and paired together so well. Pinned it for sure!
And this weekend? House work stuff. No surprise. BUT it is finally getting to the fun stage where changes happen fast and are a lot more noticeable. Yay!
LOVE the workout!!
This weekend I’m heading to Jazz Fest here in New Orleans … so excited!!!
of you had to though burpies in there! They are my enemy 🙂
Woooorking this weekend. Hopefully hit up the pool though 🙂
All about putting together fun workouts, but sometimes it is nice for someone else to make one for you! Pinned it for myself and to use on my clients. Thanks girl and have a beautiful weekend!
Fitfluential epic meet up in Toronto!!! Can’t wait!
sounds like an awesome workout…i’ve been loving outdoor runs and being able to use my own body to strength train outside!
Get your good going – love it!
Love the workout! Think I’ll pin it! 😉
I’ve missed your workouts!! This looks like such a good one!
This is a great workout and with a couple modifications is something I can even do with my foot! Thanks for inspiring me to get out (on my patio) and workout — even without a backyard!
Nice workout regime. I find plank a bit hard though. Max I’ve been able to do is close to 35 seconds. But I’ll keep trying!
