Weekly Workouts |4/10|

April 10, 2016

Happy Sunday!

Hope you all are having a great weekend. I apologize that we haven’t been sharing our workouts on our snapchats this week. We have been CRAZY busy, so we honestly didn’t even lift weights a lot this week, but we did remember to write down some of our workouts to share with you all on here, as well as some of our eats!

Here is what our schedule looked like this week:

Monday- OFF

Tuesday- just cardio (35 minutes on stairs about level 8-10)

Wednesday- cardio (35 minutes on stairs) + legs

Thursday – cardio (35 minutes on stairs) + arms

Friday- cardio (35 minutes on stairs) + chest + shoulders

Saturday – yoga + cardio (35 minutes on stairs)

Sunday – cardio (35 minutes on stairs) + back + legs

We did not have time to include our workout today, but you can check out our past posts for some examples!

And, now for our eats from this week:

Roasted chicken we made (shared the recipe in last week’s post) + spinach + sautéed veggies
We were both hungry at 10 PM the other night, and in addition to chocolate and a quest bar, we were craving veggies, so we threw this quick salad together of tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach, salt and pepper, and balsamic vinegar.
We tried this new place called Dalat that has great Pho. We hadn’t had it in FOREVER, and what is great about this place is that you can sub out the noodles for shredded cabbage! SO awesome! We both got chicken pho and added a poached egg inside! So good!
As you can tell, we ate out a lot this week, haha. We also went to Texas De Brazil (so good) which has the BEST salad bar and then unlimited steak, chicken, etc. I know this picture is SO terrible, but I wanted to show you one (of many) plates of the meat. I get all the meat like flank, filet, etc and then I also get this chicken that is wrapped in bacon. I don’t like lamb or sausage, so I don’t eat those!
Look how incredible this salad bar is! I got two plates of this (insert embarrassed monkey emoji here).
Here’s a salad I made one afternoon for my afternoon meal:The same sautéed veggies I make almost every night with chicken. Never gets old!
After making over 800 waffles this week, we headed to another mediterranean spot in Dallas. It’s a buffet, so I will usually get the oven-baked chicken, the cucumber and tomato salad, eggplant, okra, green beans, salad, and cauliflower. Oh, and I had 2.5 plates of this 😉
We got invited to attend yoga in the park (more on my snapchat @alexis.belbel)) on Saturday, and then headed to Lark On The Park for brunch. I ordered the salad without the feta and dressing on the side with grilled chicken! It was delicious!

Oh, and the reason I didn’t do a workout on Saturday (I would have normally done legs) was that by the time we were done with yoga with TeaTree Hair Care and brunch, it was already 1 PM and I had ZERO motivation to go to the gym. I went and did a quick cardio workout to get my heart rate up and going and then called it a day! Not always easy or fun to get it in, but so worth it in the end!
And, now for some of our favorite workout clothes this week:

Core Cruncher

August 26, 2015

It is Wednesday, so you know what that means- a new workout!

Not going to lie, we are pretty bad about doing core exercises. I don’t know what it is about them, but I just absolutely dread doing them. I have gotten better about trying to incorporate more throughout my workouts, but it is a work-in-progress.

Here are three exercises that you can do with or without weights. For each move, focus on keeping your core tight and engaged. I promise you that your core will be on F I R E, but keep pushing through!

You will be performing each move 25 times, performing each move immediately following the previous one. After performing all three moves 25 times, take 30 second to one-minute rest and repeat them all again for 25 reps. Repeat this cycle again for a total of three to four rounds.

Booty Burner Workout

August 5, 2015

We know we have been lacking in the fitness/workout posts on social media, and even on here, so we thought we would start “Workout Wednesdays” where we share a quick workout that can be done anywhere!

You may not be able to make it to the gym or just don’t have a gym membership in general, so all you need for our workouts are some dumbbells and maybe some resistance bands. We will try to keep them pretty simple and explain each movement the best we can, but as always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out or comment below!

We always say that working out and lifting weights is great, however, with that being said, diet and healthy eating is key. You won’t get to where you want to be if you are not eating well and nourishing your body properly.

Below you’ll find a quick booty workout. Not only will these moves burn those glutes, but they will get that heart rate going, and will even work some other muscle groups too! Double WIN!
