Runners Resources, Workout Plans, Weight TrainingWhitney CarlsonComment

We are SO excited to share our newest premium workout plan with you! After Pam at Moms Run This Town contacted us in hopes of creating a workout plan for runners interested in taking a little break from running and focusing on recovery, the She Sweats 6-Week Run Recovery plan was born. 

What You Should Know About the She Sweats 6-Week Run Recovery:

  1. The plan focuses on taking a step back from running multiple miles per day. There IS cardio (after a nice short break) built into the workout and we suggest following the workout to a "T" to gain maximum value and allow your body to optimally recover.   
  2. The plan is available in both Gym and Home versions. They ARE interchangeable! We have done our best to eliminate excuses!
  3. Included in the plan are:
    1. 6 weeks of workout plans, including rest days, cardio training and abdominal training
    2. Our philosophy behind the structure of the workouts (Just in case you need some reassurance!)
    3. Logs for tracking your training and weights used
    4. What items are commonly on our grocery list and a sample for timing your daily meals
    5. Information about what to eat before and after a workout
    6. HIIT routines

Wondering if this workout will work for you? Not sure yet? Here are some testimonials from our other She Sweats Workouts:

I'm starting to see my booty is looking nice, tighter and rounder!

It's happening.....SUCCESS! I am seeing the changes. Loving my legs, shoulders -and dare I say it....ABS

I am also a runner (2 marathons, 7 half marathons and a few sprint tri's). Finished the 12 week challenge and now on week 2 of the extreme. DO NOT PAY ATTN TO THE SCALE! People approach me asking me how much weight I have lost. I have lost no weight! I am toned though and have defined arms. This program works. It was mentally challenging for me at first because I was used to the "runners high" and a major cardio junky. However, wasn't getting the results I wanted. This program will give it to you if you follow it. What you eat is also key. Don't give up!!!!

I just finished week 9 thinking I would have lost plenty of pounds. But not a single one. However, I have a fabulous butt, some really nice defined arms and some sexy abs.

I'm just starting wk 9 & a couple wks ago I looked in the mirror, and said "wow"! I'm not to my goals but can definitely see things changing. I haven't dropped a single pound & may have actually put on a couple. It's that switch in your mind set that the scale number isn't always the best. I've also ran half marathons & I feel like I'm stronger, more fit than I've ever been compared to doing them.

Flat Belly Circuit

Cardio/HIIT, Weight TrainingWhitney CarlsonComment

First, we want to remind everyone that "abs are made in the kitchen" which means that you really need to eat healthy and live a healthy lifestyle in order to see your abs. Doing an ab workout 1,000 times isn't going to get you there! However, it is important to have overall strength and that includes your core...so we introduce to you our Flat Belly Circuit! You can add this to the end of one of your weight workouts or do it on your rest day. It goes perfectly with our She Sweats workouts!

Don't forget to try out Combat Abs too!

Be Happy in the Skin You Are In... NOW!

Body Image, MotivationWhitney Carlson4 Comments

Today's post comes out of necessity for me to get something off of my chest. There is so much talk in the media about what it means to be skinny and even a definition of "fat." We are seeing "fat shaming" and now, "skinny shaming" left and right - wherever we turn.  So, when should we be happy with the body we have? Once we are happy, do we stop trying to make it better?

The truth of the matter is, you have to be happy in the skin you are in at the moment to make any improvements in the future. As most of you know, I had a baby 10.5 months ago and my auto-immune disease has spiraled out of control since then. I'm in a good place as far as my body goes (at least I think so), but I'm not that super teeny size I used to be. Guess what - I don't care! I'm happy with the effort that I have been putting in, the way I have been eating. and can honestly say that I am getting stronger each day - physically and mentally. I fit in most of my clothes (with the exception of those super tiny ones) and I have found the balance that I need to ensure I am taking care of my family while also taking care of myself.

(I was that person... I used to laugh at the people that said I didn't understand what it was like to have a kid, when I didn't have one, but now I understand! Especially at this age, there is very little time to yourself and it's a triumph if you actually cook something to eat and GET to eat it!)

So... does that mean that I won't work hard to get myself to the next level? Absolutely not! Life is a constant state of change and why not change for the better? I am a real woman, a real mother, a real wife and a real member of society. My life has to reflect that. Your life should reflect the person you are and the person you want to be - not reflect what you do or don't see in the mirror. That will come.

Understand that YOU are constantly evolving. Love the process. Love each and every step.
