Great workout, especially after yesterdays circuit 💪🏼 🥵

Loved this workout and consistency used heavier weights

Great arm day! I’m already feeling sore 😅

Strong Girl Summer Day 3 (Upper Body)

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

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!

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

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

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

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
