Unfortunately I've been having some scheduling hiccups so today's post is featuring a workout I created. I've been trying to work more strength training into my routine since I've been neglecting it as marathon training is in full swing. This workout took me around 40 minutes to do and left me drenched and sore all over. 


Yesterday I was scrolling through my Pinterest Working on my Fitness Board for a quick 30 minute workout I could fit in and found one from Muncher Cruncher that seemed sweaty and awesome. I took her format and changed up the exercises to make it my own little workout. It left me a lot sweatier and tired than I expected! I usually hate at-home workouts because I get bored, but I liked how simple and fast paced this one was.  

I used a set of 10 lb. dumbbells and tried to only stop to catch my breath when I needed but otherwise move through the reps.  I did 40 reps of all 6 exercises, then 30 reps of all 6 exercises, etc.

  1. I just took a fitness class last week and discovered Mountain Climbers! They left me exhausted but I felt it was a good part of the workout! -M

  3. Wow, that's alot of reps! Great job! I usually do my own strength workouts but sometimes I need something more specific telling me how many reps/set to do otherwise I don't do enough:)

    1. I know, but it went by pretty quickly. I liked that it was only 6 exercises to repeat.

  5. Because I have 5 young children that are almost always with me, I have to do nearly all my workouts at home. I do have to challenge myself to not get bored. I use BodyRock on YouTube which is AWESOME! I'm also got Sworkit app on my phone but that doesn't challenge me. I've never even thought about checking pinterest for exercise. Thanks for the tips. Happy to be visiting from The Fit Dish linkup.
