Fight. Grind. repeat (yes, I am a Bobby Bones fan)f

Today I started a new training regimen.  I'm not really training for anything specific, mostly to feel better, have more energy, and keep this body that my God gave me in check! So to hold me accountable for actually working out, I am going to post my workouts here. I've googled some stuff, pinterested, and done my fair share of crossfit WODs to be fully capable of making each workout a little different. Another minor detail is that I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Exercise Science, and I have a Masters of Science degree that required me to cover human anatomy and physiology pretty extensively. Therefore, I know what a want to target and how to do it!

Today was mostly a leg day. It's funny how we say "today is legs, tomorrow is arms and back, etc." because any lower extremity work out will also involve the upper body and core, and the other way around.

I started with 1 mile on the stationary bike to warm everything up. Then some lunges and air squats to loosen the quads and hammys.  Then the real stuff began.

-Barbell Lunges: 3x10 each leg
-Single Leg Deadlift with a Kettlebell: 3x10 each leg
-Barbell Squat Cleans/Front squat combo: 5x 1 Hang Clean straight into 3 Front Squats
-Side Step-ups onto a Box: 2x10 each leg
-Mountain Climbers: 5x20 (100 total)

I allowed about a minute rest between each set. I tend to get a little light-headed when I work out in the mornings due to morning hypotension, so sometimes I give myself a bit of extra time.

I completed my workout with a 1-mile trail run at an easy pace.

My goal is to hit the gym 3-4 mornings a week, eat a clean and healthy diet, and stay active at work and at home. My husband and I are about to start the Advocare 10-day cleanse, so tune in to see if I can have some self-control and actually see it through!
