Workout: Toasted Buns

I love the Plyo 'warm up' here. Its really a short HIIT session and it will torch your legs and leave you gasping for air. Yessss!  

Take a rest afterward, and if you feel good, go for the full leg workout and of course, 
the booty burning finisher. Go for toast! Make it Burn! 

 Toasted Buns Workout

 5 minute warm up on treadmill or jumprope

Plyo warmup: 
30 Jump Squats //1 minute rest //30 jump lunges
X 2 

Squats: 
Alternate between Narrrow and Wide to shorten the rest period and hit the Glutes during the Narrow, then the inner thigh with the Wide Squats. No need for the weird inner thigh machine in this workout!

Hamstring Leg Curl 

Lunges 
Right Leg, then Left repeat 3X

Wall Sits
holding a dumbbell to workout the arms
hold 1 minute X 4 

Finisher: 
Weighted Glute Bridge, really squeeze! Try 1 legged with 25 lbs. for extra burn. 
Go for toast! 

Here it is Ladies (and Gents) your moment of Fitness Zen, you'll need it to get through this workout ;)

Happy Weekend

Hello there, I hope everyone had a lovely week and is revving up for an amazing weekend! I had a full morning of meetings and interviews then a lovely late lunch at Lupe Tortilla with a skinny margarita and lettuce wrapped fajitas. I was in heaven. The patio was bustling with trays of sizzling fajitas, hand shaken margaritas, and a fire pit nearby. I might as well have been eating on the beach Once the margarita hit the table, I felt like I was instantly transported to a beach side cabana. I love me some fajitas and ritas :) This weekend my sister is coming into town for a visit. I'm so excited! Can't wait to catch up over a glass of wine. I may be fit, but wine is definitely in my diet right now. :)  Happy Weekend everyone! Enjoy yourself--you've earned it!

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?
