I'm a big fan of following a fitness plan (RELATED: 5 Reasons Why You Need A Fitness Plan) but some days you just need to completely change it up. Use this to spell your workout! Take your first name, last name, kids name, pets name, anything you want and do the exercise listed for each letter. It's tough but FUN! If you are really up for a challenge you could do your first AND last name. Best of all, you can do this anywhere and no equipment is needed! If you are doing one of our workout plans try this for your cardio one day!

Tag us on Instagram and use the hashtag #heandsheeatclean so we can follow along!

For example, my name is Whitney so my workout would be the following:

W - 15 Curtsy Lunges
H - 20 Jumping Jacks
I - 5 Squats with Pulse
T - 20 Plank Jacks
N - 10 Lateral Jumps
E - 5 Jump Lunges
Y - 5 Moving Planks

Confused about what the exercises are? We have some explanations here under "exercise tutorials".

As many of you know, I LOVE to add cardio bursts into my training. It serves as a great way to get my heart rate up while lifting. Plus it makes my workouts more interesting. You can do this Short but Sweet Cardio Session as a stand alone workout if you are short on time or you can add into your workouts. If you are using it in your workouts don't repeat it four times. Try this: lift and then do butt kicks and go back into your lift. Or you can do your lift and then do this cardio workout straight through so it would be lift, butt kicks, air squats, mountain climbers, plank, back into the lift. You could also use it as a "finisher" at the end of your lifting session! It's your workout, you choose!

Woah! Seems like a lot of you liked the Ladder Workout Challenge we shared last time! Who doesn't love burpees and squats, right?! That's a workout I like to do just to finish out my regular workout or in the mornings. I'll be honest though, I'm not good at doing a full workout in the mornings. I would much rather go in the evening after I've had a full day of food (food equals energy) and maybe because I like to sleep in until the last minute. However, since we've been traveling so much lately I haven't been able to split up my workouts like I usually do (I normally follow the same flow as the 12-Week Transformation. Yes, men can do it too!). When I can get into the gym in between trips, I've been doing full body workouts with Whitney like this 32 Minute Full Body Tabata Workout. If you have dumbbells (or something that could act as a dumbbell) you can even do this one at home!

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 so that you do not hurt yourself.

This workout, along with the Ladder Workout Challenge, will be part of an ebook for the #PolarShapeUpChallenge so stay tuned for more information.

I love to have my A360 tracking when I workout so that I can look at my heart rate data and really keep track of how much time I spend working out. I've been told a time or two that I can lose track of time in the gym. I actually do like to workout so it's not that hard for me to get a workout in but it is hard for me to remember to move throughout the day during work. The "It's time to move!" alerts definitely help me get up and walk around when I would otherwise be sitting. Since we've had pretty nice weather here lately I've even gone outside for a walk during lunch a few days.

I shared my Blueberry Avocado Protein Shake with you that I drink for breakfast but I also wanted to share one of my favorite lunch (and dinner) meals. During warmer weather we love to make use of our grill for food prep. We've been making Zesty Grilled Chicken and also Lean Mean Cheeseburgers using bison meat. I usually eat mine on an Ezekiel English Muffin but you could also eat it naked with everything but the bun. We've also been making sautéed mushrooms and grilled onions (recipes coming soon!). You can find the recipe for the balsamic garlic asparagus here.

Remember how I mentioned the Polar Balance scale? It definitely makes skipping those donuts and other desserts at work much easier! ;-) Rambo is pretty curious about the scale too. If you follow us on snapchat (hesheeatclean) you know Rambo really well!
