Happy Wednesday! We are so excited to finally be sharing this post with y’all! We have been getting a lot of requests to start sharing more fitness-related content and videos, so here you go! Each week, we are planning on sharing videos, several of our workouts from the week, as well as a breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipe that we are planning on making this week or the following week!

Typically, we will do anywhere from 20-45 minutes of cardio, usually on the stair master, followed by weight training (each muscle group a different day). This week, we are sharing an arm and chest + calf workout, as well as a few videos!

Below is an arm workout we did last week + cardio:

Here are two videos for y’all:
1.) Step Ups On Bench ( you can hold 10b plates in each hand and do 10-12 reps on each leg for 3-4 sets) 
PS-this bench is way too high, so choose a bench that is a little lower than this!
2.) Curls With Weighted Ball (you can hold a 10-12lb ball and do 10-12 reps of 3-4 sets

 As far as cooking and meal prepping, we have done several posts on that, but typically, we like to have some kind of protein prepped for the week, like grilled chicken. That way, we can just add it to salads or veggies in 5 minutes, and you’re done! 
 
This egg casserole is a GREAT option for those of you who don’t have time to make breakfast! You get a ton of protein, and you can make it on Sundays for the whole week, and then reheat it and serve with fruit! We used to make this every week when we worked our corporate job!
