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!

Whittle Your Waist with 5 Different Planks {Plus 2 Cardio Planks}!

Whittle Your Waist with 5 Different Planks {Plus 2 Cardio Planks}!

Planks work all muscle groups in your core (plus help strengthen your entire body) and you can pretty much do them ANYWHERE (gym, home, hotel, airport, restaurant, etc). We've introduced a few different types of planks in our Plank Challenges and we even have a daily Plank Challenge as part of our workout plans. Below are the descriptions so you can get planking!

Updated: 1/21/18 to include new pictures and descriptions :)

5 Planks to Whittle Your Waist

1. Standard Plank - Get into a push-up position but stay on your forearms.  Pull your abs in while keeping your back straight.  Hold this position for the desired amount of time.  Tip: Make sure your back is straight and your bottom does not stick up too far in the air!

See the picture below for more information and visit this post on how to plank!

How to do a plank

2. Side Plank - Similar to a standard plank but you will be holding the standard plank on both sides. Get into standard plank position and then turn to the left or right.  Hold your abs in to really engage your core.  After holding for the desired about of time switch sides.

3. Knee to Elbow Planks - Get into push-up position.  You will basically be "crunching" on each side. Tip: Keep your chest and bottom up.  Don't let your back round or your shoulders slump forward.

4. Up, Up, Down, Down Planks - This one is a tough one!  Start in standard plank position.  Push up and extend your arm with your right side and then your left side. Once you are in plank position with your arms fully extended, lower back down on your forearms starting with your right arm and then your left arm.  Continue for the desired amount of reps.  Tip: You need to swap the hands you start with each time. You could also think about this as a low plank to high plank.

5. Plank Side Walk - Get into push-up position.  Cross your right hand over your left hand and move your left foot to the left.  Tip: You hands will come together as your feet move apart.

2 Cardio Planks {To change things up a bit!}

1. Mountain Climbers - Get into push-up position and stay there.  When you are ready to begin, bring each knee up to your chest quickly (like you are sprinting) but stay on your hands. Move quickly.

2. Plank Jacks - Get into push-up position.  Jump your feet out like you are doing a jumping jack. Lightly land on your toes then return to starting position.  Move quickly.
