Hi Friends!
Time for another Fitness Friday! I’ve got one fun workout to share with you guys before we get to a quick recap of my workouts!
So, flip a coin. If it’s heads, do one minute of burpees, if it’s tails, do a minute of mountain climbers. Flip the coin again and do either crunches or toe touches. And so on through all 7 rounds. Then repeat a few more times!
This is a fun one! All body weight. Works your legs and abs. All you need is your bodyweight 🙂 ENJOY!
As for workouts, they’ve been kinda few and far between this week. Lots of walks with the dogs to get my steps in.
Friday: A walk with the dogs
Saturday: 3 mile run. My goal was to run miles 2 & 3 faster than mile 1. I walked 90 sec after each mile.
Sunday: Walk with the boys and volleyball
Monday: My shins were super sore after volleyball. I got a little nervous but took it as a good sign that both of them were hurting instead of just one. I think it was just from jumping on the hard sand. To be safe, I decided to take it easy for a few days. I settled for a long walk with the boys and some abs.
Tuesday: Rest day…sort of. We had a Columbus Dietetic Association meeting and Shelby and I were running around like mad women all day trying to get the place set up and then returned to normal after the meeting!
Wednesday: A lovely late night walk with hubby and the dogs.
Thursday: Finally felt recovered enough to run. 3 miles. I struggled for the first mile or so but finally got in a groove.
I’ve been really slacking on weights lately….something i’ll touch on in a post next week…but I’ve got a plan. Tomorrow I get out of work early so i’m kicking things off with my all-time favorite workout 🙂 What better way to get back into the weight lifting groove, right?!
Can.not.wait! It hurts so good. every time.
Then Sunday I’ll do an upper body workout and just like that i’ll be back on track for next week!
There was a time when I would have been pretty hard on myself looking back on a week of workouts like this. I would have told myself I didn’t work hard enough, that I could have done more. Now, I’m just proud of myself for fitting everything in that I did. I’ll be doing a post on my typical daily schedule next week….starting a full-time internship, trying to keep up the blog and fitting in sleep and relaxation time has been a challenge. But i’m working on it!
Have a great weekend friends 🙂

I used to beat myself up for not getting in HARD workouts each week. Then I learned that something is better than nothing and you are going to have weeks where you can’t do it all. Great job in getting out and moving!
That 100 workout is one way to jump back into it with both feet!! I love the flip a coin workout too…have to try it out!!
I don’t know why but I am weirdly excited about the idea of flipping a coin to determine my workout!
Flipping the coin sounds like such a fun idea!
so glad you got in your run last night. Your smile just makes me happy. Oh and that workout, the 100, is awesome. Go enjoy yourself this weekend linz!
Just like I saw you comment on someone else’s post: this is a lot more than many other people are doing! And you have to do what is right for you!! At least you were active every day! 🙂 🙂
The Flip a Coin workout is BRILLIANT! I love it. Keeps you on your toes and changes things up a bit. Such a great idea!!
Cheers

Love this workout. Such a great idea!
Awesome job this week, especially with such a packed schedule! I’m the same way in that I can be hard on myself when I don’t get enough of a workout in, but I’ve been better about just making sure I do…something! It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one….Also, I’m recently obsessed with your blog because it’s given me some awesome workout ideas…and motivation in general! So, thank you for that!
The flip a coin workout sounds like so much fun, I’ll definitely be trying that soon! And the 100… ouch! Definitely need to do this!
What a great week of movement! I love that 100 Legs workout. I miss being able to do the HIIT-style stuff, but I’m loving my competition training too.
I had a SUPER busy week last week and was originally upset with myself for not being able to hit harder/more workouts. But I was still running (half-marathon one week away!) and biking to and from work. I would have been exhausted and incredibly unproductive at work had I tried to fit in more. This week, I was able to get back to the weights more, and I was SO excited to be there. I missed it. And now my body is happy again! 🙂
Love the heads or tails workout. Great way to make it fun. I might steal it for a class I teach 🙂
You’re right not to be hard on yourself. You got a lot done and listened to your body. That’s a good thing.
GREAT post Lindsay! I tried pinning but the images weren’t showing up. Maybe if you add a “pin it” button on the post it will work? I’d like to save these. Or…maybe it’s just my messed up computer!
That coin workout looks like fun!! You are doing great getting exercise in girl!! Hang in there!
What a great idea! Flipping a coin would make the workout, potentially, different every time. Love it!
I love reverse lunges!! And your coin workout. How fun 🙂 Also – you should be proud of how active you were this week, Linds!
Love the flip the coin workout! But I think I would end up flipping the coin and then doing the one I felt like doing anyway. lol. Its kind of like that saying “…that moment when the coin is in the air and you suddenly know which side you hope it will land on…” But wither way it makes your decision for you and gives you great workout, right? Great idea!
flip a coin workout is the best idea ever. 🙂 Love it!
You did great this week! I will try the coin workout too. Great idea!
I’ve been slacking on weights too. I’ve been so focused on completing the Lazyman Triathlon that I haven’t taken the time to lift.
workouts sound great, just want I needed to see as I am trying to get my butt back in gear
Hello Lindsay! I wanted to let you know that you have re-inspired me. Thank you so much for an amazing blog and I’m going to add you to mine so other people can catch you, as well. Have a great week!
