I had quite the active recovery day. 20 minute treadmill walk, 20 minute lap pool swim, and stretched in the steam room!

Strong Girl Summer Day 7 (Active Recovery)

Good workout. I’m behind a week due to getting covid but I’m still going!

Love this lower body workout. Always gets me when the reps increase !

Strong Girl Summer Day 8 (Lower Body)

Split it in 2 rounds. Some movements I did pulsing instead of full range! Loved it

Split it into 3 rounds of 22 reps and completed it in 23 minutes. Pretty dang proud, that was tough. So much easier to keep going after splitting it up though

Strong Girl Summer Day 9 (Devil's Circuit)

Went up in weight with the last exercise. That plank at the end was killer!

Finished todays workout this morning and did a 27 minute LISS walk with my dog!

Strong Girl Summer Day 10 (Upper Body)

Great challenge today! Did back to back workouts since I missed a day this week

Love this one..Instead of running I did a cardio workout  of my own :)

Great workout. I subbed the run for a power walk because I didn’t have the proper shoes. That an circuit was different! Loved it!

Strong Girl Summer Day 11 (Cardio Circuit)

Arms are pumped!! Today was a good lift and I loved it

Strong Girl Summer Day 12 (Upper Body)

Legs are jello! Great lower body workout and the increased reps really got me

Today was shweaty and heavy!! 😍 Any workout starting with a backwards walk is my fave 💪🏼

Strong Girl Summer Day 13 (Lower Body)

I chose a low impact spin bike session. But the stretches were oh so necessary. 😌🥰

Strong Girl Summer Day 14 (Active Recovery)

Literally felt my leg muscles shake 
2 min wall sit!!

Mental challenge getting here today but I’m glad I showed up and finished it! Love leg day

Strong Girl Summer Day 15 (Lower Body)

Love this workout, especially the kettlebell workout!

Loved the kettlebell workout. Went on a walk besides the run

Loved this circuit and that the runs were split up, it didn’t feel like 2 miles of running!

Strong Girl Summer Day 16 (cardio circuit)

Pushed the weights today and the arms are jello💪🏼

My triceps are getting noticeably stronger!

Got this one done! Plank at the end killer

Strong Girl Summer Day 17 (Upper Body)

This was a TOUGH one to jump back into. I did as much as I could

Killer. Did 5 rounds instead of 10 because I wanted to also include a shoulder integration workout and walk.

Strong Girl Summer Day 18 (Cardio Circuit)

This was a good one!! Arms are pumpin’ 💪🏼

Done! Ready for the last week. Feeling strong :)

My favorite leg workout! I enjoy the squats / lunges

I really like the squats! I’m thinking that’s my favorite 😁

Strong Girl Summer Day 20 (Lower Body)

Legs are shaking! The hardest week is always the last one :)

I really love walking backwards! I can tell a difference in my knees!

Feeling pretty darn good today! Getting stronger everyday 💪🏼
