So, first piece of news: I got my hairs cut–the BANGS are back, baby!
I HAVE to keep the length or this blog would be retitled, Blonde Nub.
Onto the workout. Lindsay, my fellow Fitfluential ambassador at The Lean Green Bean, posts a Fitness Friday segment and tried out one of my previous workouts. So, following her cue, I’m sharing another lovely.
And, FitFluential ambassador, Katy, at Fit In Heels, always has the most clever titles for her workouts. So, thank you Katy for the inspiration. *If you’ve been reading my blog long enough, you know there might just a hint of sarcasm in this workout title. 
1. Jumping Pull-ups
This amps your heart rate with plyometric moves while your upper body gets worked!
2. Half Burpee to Box Jump
The burpee is an excellent, do-it-anywhere, type of exercise. Adding the box jump adds another element of “fun”.
3. Dead lift to Row
The dead lift works those glutes. Adding the dumbbell row, makes this a full boy exercise. More muscles working, more calories burned.
4. Single Arm Clean & Press
Power movement that revs that heart rate helping you burn calories.
5. Decline Push-ups
Deeper press activates more muscles
6. Skull Crushers
Complete focus on the triceps while holding a bridge position (pull those glutes in!)
 |
| Extend arms, keeping elbows stationary |
7. Scissors Kicks
Use a medicine ball or dumbbell to add resistance to the abdominal exercise.
 |
| Alternate legs from lying down position |
So, how have I powered through my workouts lately?
Recently, I started using the GenetixHD line from GNC. I am truly loving this line as it really adds the energy and stamina I need for tough workouts and especially leading my HIIT classes! Who wants to take a class from an low-energy instructor?!
 |
| PhysioBurn |
The program is very easy to follow so far. I take ProScuplt in the morning, MegaIgnite before my workout, and PhysioBurn with my largest meal of the day.
I have only been using the products for 2 weeks and have experienced increased energy without any shakiness or increased heart rate that can be found with some products. I actually get excited to take my MegaIgnite pills in preparation for a tough run or HIIT class!
I will do a more complete review in the future on each product when I have had more time to use them. So far, I can see myself permanently implementing these products to my training.
Cute hair! and haha, love the name of the workout.
you hair looks lovely
we did single leg burpees today. that was a hit!! lol
I’ll have to check out your youtube stuff! always nice to have inspiration for the two boot camp classes I teach a week
i’m black ‘n pink. ALL THE TIME but with my Rev3 team addin’ in all the blue I can!
Love your hair! And that workout looks amazing
. I bet those burpees are killer! Can’t wait to try this out.
Holy FIT! Everything about you says fit! And your hair looks sooo cute!
I <3 the hair! Nice shirt too….I might be wearing the same one today.
You’re so purdy. Lol at Blonde Nub.
I have tons of color in my workout wardrobe. I buy way too many workout tops. So I’ve got oranges, yellows, pinks and blue.
My car is blue and black (convertible) and my step-dad has given me a hard time for being black and blue before.
I am definitely trying these moves – they look killer! And I’m glad you didn’t cut the pony because I don’t think blonde nub would be quite as fun.
yea boxes! love me some boxes! (also bangs!)
when I read “Till My Thighs Don’t Touch” it was to the tune of Kelis “Till the Wheels Fall Off” which I love and Hubby hates, so I crank it. LOL
Love your hair. Makes me want to have bangs too. But I will look weird.
I love how you have a video of the different moves.
Bought myself a medicine ball and plan on rocking it!
Holy Fit is right!! You are beautiful! No nubs for you!
Love the bangs…Im a bangs girl myself! Great new workouts…..Erica
love the hair!
I am a fan of the bangs!!
favorite color to wear…blue
workout clothes the tops I have blue, hot pink, black…the bottom are mosly black with a little color..I am a fan of Nike tempo shorts…
Great circuit love
I like the bangs! You have such pretty hair.
Your hair looks great!!! I love all bright colours! Loving the name of your workout hehe
Hair looks great. You know I was thinking, if you ever did cut it short, you could be the BLONDE NINJA! Seriously…
I wish I had more green workout clothes but sadly, I do not. And my dream is to someday run in green running shoes. A Green Girl can dream.
I love bright colors! when nike started making a lot of things in their “volt” neon color I was super stoked! lol
Nice workout! I need to get me one of those bars… maybe I will pick one up tomorrow with my heavier weights I need to by. Funny, I was just thinking of buying a bar and where I want to put it. I really want to accomplish an unassisted pull-up!
I love colorful work out clothes! I just got orange shorts and a bright yellow shirt
Love your videos. Move over Jillian Michaels.
yes!!!!! love it
doing this one too. except i need a sub for jumping pull ups. i don’t have a bar. thoughts?
Great post!! Haha though I think “blonde nub” has a good ring to it
This is an amazing post- all the videos are SO helpful! I’ve never really gotten into strength training (I’m more of a running/ triathlon gal) though I probably should do more of it. This is so so so helpful because for someone who’s never really done it, it’s intimidating to try, especially at a gym (where there are people haha) because I’d be terrified that I’d be doing it wrong! Thanks for a great post! This will be my first attempt at strength training
I like the bangs… very cute! Excellent workout too, the name makes me laugh
I’m so glad I found your blog Jess! I love seeing your workouts! I’m starting to incororate cross traininng in my schedule now, so I’m hoping to try some out, finally!
BTW, new cut looks great!
i like the hair! haha, i wear almost all black workout clothes!
i’m so sore today after my race, but i’m thinking this workout is something i can work up to…looks good! thanks for sharing!
ok I shouldnt be so obsessed with your hair but I am.
I LOOOOOOOVE THE BANGS!!!
Love your hair! Uh can’t do pull ups.. I’m so weak!!!!!!!
Favorite color to wear while working out is PINK! And since I live in my workout clothes, they are bright! Workout pants are usually are black and tops are: blue, pink, yellow…
I just had a chance to read this- first off- THANK YOU for the shout out! Second- amazing workout title!!! I LOVE the moves you chose- God I wish we lived closer!!!!!! We would be workout buddies for life!!! Third- your bangs are gorgeous! xoxo
