Sprint (your way) to your summer bod



It's always a beautiful day to hit the track. I decided to finally ditch the treadmill and test out my sprints. I have to say, I don't think I've ever actually tried to sprint on a track. I've run stairs, hit the treadmill on an incline, but no real sprints. Honestly, its exhilarating! Exhausting yes, but I felt more powerful and faster than ever. I surprised myself this week and I liked it ;) Best part was, after my workout, my baby and our puppy joined me at the track. 
Check it out, here's what I did: 

Warm Up
run 2 laps, run faster 3rd lap

Sprints

Walk 100 meters or 1/2 lap
Sprint 100 meters
Repeat 4X

Catch your breath and continue

Jump Lunges 
lunge right, jump up, switch legs, land in a left lunge

Pop Squats 
narrow squat low, jump up, really push up, and land in a low squat

or you can do my favorite: lunges across the field :) 
Until next time, keep that booty moving ya'll!!

Strawberry Fields Forever

Have you ever picked your own strawberries? As a kid growing up in Germany, we would take school trips to the strawberry fields and pick baskets of strawberries. There were rows and rows of big, red juicy strawberries ripe for the picking and eating. :) We'd fill up our little baskets till our fingers were stained pink. By the time we reached the end of the row, we'd have eaten almost as many berries as we picked and have to start again. Its been years since then and thankfully, my baby found a farm near the house where we could pick our own berries. How fun! I felt like a kid again, hunting for the juiciest berries and leaving the little ones to grow. Together we harvested a hardy basketful for dessert--perfect for a frozen yogurt topping. Do Tell...... Where do you pick your strawberries? What's your favorite way to eat strawberries?

Happy Good Friday

                          I hope you all are having a lovely Good Friday! Tonite I'm continuing my new job celebration at the Rooftop Lounge in Houston for a much needed date night with my man set to some bouncy and bass driven house music. Woot! I love me some good, happy, deep and soulful house.  Can't wait to dance it out. This weekend will be especially tempting for those of us on a clean eating diet, especially if you plan on hitting up Easter brunch. This would be a great time to share your goals with your family and friends so they can help keep you accountable and most importantly set some time aside to prep some healthy snacks. Keep your eye on the prize. Eat the eggs all you want, just take it easy on the cadbury eggs and waffles at Easter Brunch ;) You'll thank yourself later.  Check out today's workout below. Set some time aside for yourself this weekend and get moving! What ...
