It has been awhile since we've released a fun, random workout. :) This one is tough but see how many you can make it through and then have your goal be to complete it all the way through as you progress. If you can do this whole circuit, start timing yourself and try to beat your over time each time you do it!
For things like the high knees (90), mountain climbers (70), and butt kicks (30) just count to the number listed (or have a timer to go off after 90 seconds, etc).
If you are in need of a workout plan that doesn't take up too much time but still gets you the results you desire, try our Busy Body 4-Week Workout Plan or pick out another workout plan of your choosing here.
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Iron-Tek for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
Let me start off this by saying that before I could even get a picture of the Iron-Tek Beet Energizer (pre-workout), Scott had already used it all and tossed the container (even after I asked him not to!). He loved it because:
He’s obsessed with beets
It gave him great energy without making him jittery
He didn’t crash after drinking it
It contains no preservatives, artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners
I loved it for all of the above reasons as well, minus #1 because I don’t love beets, but it didn’t taste overly like beets either.
It’s very, very difficult to find a pre-workout (or really any supplement for that matter) that doesn’t have a ton of junk (including food coloring for no reason). Fitness and nutrition should not be difficult and Iron-Tek agrees. They went back to the basics and crafted a system of workout supplements to help.
The Beet Energizer we mentioned is a food blend of beet, coffeeberry, guayusa, coconut water with electrolytes. It is a pre-workout that you take 30-90 minutes before your workout to give you the energy you need to perform your best.
Another product that we love is the Hydro Recovery. We aim to drink this within 30 minutes of our workout. We use it after gym sessions and after our hiking adventures. The hydro recovery is a 4 in 1 blend of tart cherry, BCAAs, electrolytes and coconut water. It is very refreshing after a sweating workout session and helps to reduce recovery time and replenish electrolyte minerals lost.
If all of this talk about working out has you ready to get sweaty, I made a new workout just for you. Try it out and don’t forget to hydrate pre-and post workout with Iron-Tek’s Beet Energizer and Hydro Recovery.
This workout is a tabata style work and is 16-minutes long (as listed) but can be repeated twice for a 32-minute workout. There are four circuits that you will repeat four times, working for 20 seconds and taking a 10 second rest in between each.
Below are a few more reasons why we love Iron-Tek:
No artificial flavors or sweeteners
Non-GMO ingredients
Gluten-free
All of the non-dairy products do not contain crustacean shellfish, fish, egg, soybean, wheat, or peanuts
All products are purity tested
Protein is made with milk from rBGH and rBST-free cows
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of AllWhites® 100% liquid egg whites. The opinions and text are all mine.
I can't believe it was April when we shared our last Ladder Workout Challenge and Banana-Blueberry Oatmeal Recipe! I feel like I say it all the time but time FLIES! We're back with a new workout and new recipe! Let's start with the workout...
This style of workout is tabata style. Tabata training is a great way to get your heart rate up quickly and then recover. You will do each exercise for 20 seconds and then rest for 10 seconds. There are four circuits and if you repeat each one eight times this is a 32-minute workout. If you can't make it through eight rounds of each circuit, start with just doing four rounds for a 16-minute workout. This is your workout so you choose how you want to complete it. Make sure you push yourself but also use proper form. Safety first!
Most of the exercises you already know how to do but below are a few explanations if you need a little guidance.
Burpees:
Squat with your hands on the ground in front of you
Get into push-up position. Lower onto your elbows.
With your knees and arms around shoulder-width apart hold this position as long as possible with good form.
Your shoulders should be in line with your elbows.
Engage your core by drawing your stomach in, careful not to sag or bend your bottom.
Now that you've worked up an appetite, it's time for a post-workout meal to help you recover! After my workouts, I always stretch and eat! I threw this shake together with things that we already had in our pantry! We always have AllWhites 100% liquid egg whites on hand because we use them for scrambled eggs, baking, and for adding to protein shakes! AllWhites are a convenient, fat-free, cholesterol-free and low-calorie source of lean protein. They are very convenient to use when you don't want or need to use whole eggs. The best part is that they are pasteurized for safety so you CAN use them uncooked (in protein shakes, for example!).
Directions: Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend. Enjoy! :)
Ready for a fun giveaway that, if you win, will get you set up with a personal smoothie blender AND a SPIbelt running belt?! All you have to do is comment on this post to win. Let us know how you use liquid egg whites or how you plan on incorporating them into your meals.
