Happy Friday! Eats + HIIT Workout

Happy Friday everyone! Today should be nice and productive. I did a cycle class this morning, going to get a haircut, working on my group project, going to work and then finally going home later to chill.

How was everyone's week? Yesterday was my last day at my semester-long internship, and we had an intern appreciation breakfast. I had two full plates. I had taught an early morning interval training class and worked out so I was pretty starving!

IMG_2570After that, I finished out my work there, headed to work at the gym before calling it a day. Last night I met a friend and we went to a Gainesville staple - Satchel's Pizza. If you've never been, it is this quirky, off the wall little place with knick knacks every where. There is even an old VW bus that you can eat inside. The pizza is great!

IMG_2586These past couple weeks I've been super relaxed about eating whatever I want just because I have been eating out a lot. I usually don't at all, but I have been trying to fit in my favorite things in Gainesville before I leave - including all the great restaurants. For a smallish town, Gainesville has a lot of really good food! The semester is coming to an end and I feel like I just need to enjoy myself before the real adult life begins. Once I graduate, I will be getting back on the healthy train. Sometimes you just need a little break, ya know?

Anyway, here is a workout based off of the interval training class I taught yesterday! It's really quick and sweaty. As always, rest as needed and take time to cool down!

HIIT

And with that, have a wonderful Friday!

Superset Workout

Hey hey!! I can't believe how quickly this semester is coming to an end! I taught my second to last total body class last night here at UF and got some requests to post more of my workouts. I meant to post this last week but last week was CRAZY busy.

SSworkoutAnyway, this workout was great! Supersets are an awesome way to work on strength while keeping your heart rate up and getting real sweaty. You simply perform two different exercises back to back and complete before moving on.

For the strength exercises, I completed with my class 45 seconds of work with 15 seconds of rest, and for the cardio portion we completed 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest. Really you can go with any time intervals you like.

Here's a video of some of these moves:

I hope everyone's week is going well! Mine has been quite exciting - I will share soon :)

Total Body Strength Workout

Good morning! I've got another workout to share adapted from the Total Body class I taught last night!

TBworkoutThis one was great and we all definitely were sweaty by the end! I've said it once but I will say it again, circuit workouts are my favorite way to workout. Because the pace is quick and your body has to keep guessing what is coming next, it gets your heart rate up without having to do any intense cardio. It's a great way to work on strength and cardio. As per usual, I included a #15SecondFitness video demonstrating some of the exercises:

Here are some links demonstrating some of the other exercises:

Donkey Kicks, Single Leg Deadlifts, Bent Over Rows, V-ups

I hope you try it out!

On another note, did you all see Ariana Grande's impression of Celine Dion on Jimmy Fallon? I love this blurb on his show and thought it was pretty funny. She's so talented!
