Backyard Blast Workout

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 punchesย – please put a little more effort into your punches!

Happy Friday!

Let’s chat: Do you have any fun weekend plans?!

Enjoy!
–Lindsay–

    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.

    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! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Pinned!

    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!

    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.

    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 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!
