Happy Day

Happy Monday! Today is especially great because Conor will be home from Scotland in just a few hours. 🙂 He has been there for the past week participating in the Worldwide Bagpipe Championships. He has been playing since he was only eight years old along with his two older brothers. They are so talented and I admire them so much for sticking with an instrument for such a long time. 

They placed 11th out of 28 countries over in Glasgow on Saturday and I couldn’t be more proud. Sorry for the short post but I’m off to see my handsome bagpiper now. 🙂

The “Non-Runner’s” Treadmill Workout!

Sounds weird right? I’ve mentioned before that I hate running. My legs hurt, I can’t breathe, and one mile seems to last forever. This is the exact reason why I’ve decided to start incorporating running into my workout routine more regularly. 

Nonrunners Workout

This is my go to workout that can easily be modified depending on your skill level. The short intervals help mix it up and make it much more bearable – all the while torching calories. 

Give it a try! Trust me, if I can do it then so can you. 🙂

HIIT Abs

It’s almost Friday and I have a great workout to share with you today. If you know me at all, you know that I hate running. I have tried time and time again to get into it, but for some reason I just can’t.

However, I do like the way I feel after I finish a long run (which is rare). In this workout, I incorporated it in intervals. It is much more bearable for me to run for a few minutes at a time and give it my all, than try to trudge through 30 minutes straight.

This is one of my favorite workouts that I have done in awhile, just because it is so different from what I am used to. The focus is on abs!
