Back/Biceps My arm still had some discomfort when I woke up, so I didn't know if I was going to do this workout or not. I know it'd be smart to make today a rest day, but I won't be able to workout Sunday, and I didn't want to crunch to get the workouts in.… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 52

Day 50: Instead of doing the Chest and Triceps workout, I ended up going hiking. It was really nice outside and you were able to see the snow on the mountains off in the distance. The hike ended up being 2.28 miles and I completed it in 49 minutes. The trail I did is one… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Days 50 & 51

Legs/Glutes Started today's workout with 30 minutes on the treadmill. I walked at an incline of 3%, going at 3.4 the first 15 minutes then 3.5 the last 15. I pretty much jumped into today's workout. I didn't spend extra time activating the glutes or opening the hips. I was feeling anxious, and I just… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 49

Shoulders/Abs I started off today's workout with 25 minutes on the treadmill. I got up to a speed of 3.5, which is sort of new for me. Normally I stick with 3.3, sometimes 3.4, but those two speeds felt easy today. It's exciting to see improvements, even if it's something like increasing your walking pace… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 48

Day 46: Today was a rest day. I worked from 9-4 and didn't feel like doing anything after work. My coworker and I decided to treat ourselves, so I got us lunch (Panera) and she ordered the dessert (Crumbl Cookie). It was my first time trying Crumbl, and oh my gosh was it delicious; especially… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Days 46 & 47

Back/Biceps I'm so glad I decided to do this workout today instead of tomorrow. It took longer than I expected it to, granted the warmup took ~10 minutes, and I know I'll regret it if I saved it for after work. I started with 30 minutes on the treadmill, walking at an incline of 3%… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 45

Chest/Triceps I started today's workout with ~5 minutes of glute work and 20 minutes on the treadmill. For the glute work, I did 20 reps of lateral band walks, banded monster walks, and banded step ups. For the cardio I alternated between a 3 and 5% incline, going 3.3-3.4 mph. As for the chest/triceps workout,… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 44

Legs/Glutes After walking on the treadmill for 20 minutes, I immediately got started on the workout. I didn't do any extra glute activation or hip mobility because I was in a time crunch. With that being said, I think this was the quickest leg workout I've done. I had minimal rest, especially between sets, about… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 43

Shoulders/Abs Today's workout started off the 5 minutes of band work, even though it's an upper body day, followed by 20 minutes on the treadmill. For this workout, I took it slow and really focused on how things felt. The warmup took about 8 minutes because I added a few other movements to the two… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 42

Day 40 Well, it looks like I'll be trying to catch up next week too. I wanted to go hiking instead of doing the circuit workout, and that's exactly what I did. I went to the McDowell Mountains, which at this point I feel like I'll be doing every trail that's there, and did the… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Days 40 &41
