Overdue

Hey guys,

This post is WAY overdue. I am not even going to lie, with as busy as I've been... I've totally been slacking off on working out. :/ No cause for fret though, we all go through dry-spells and such.

Just to keep you all up to date, I graduated from OSU on the 5th! So that's exciting, and am waiting to hear about some things... we'll letcha know if it works out ;)

I have a workout that I think you're gonna love because:
 1) It's free.
 2) It's fun.
 3) It does not involve running.
 4) You can do it anywhere!

Get on your laptop, open up Pandora and pick a channel with some upbeat, heart-pumping music (I chose the Country Fitness station, which I thoroughly recommend). Find a space... I was in my room, and had about 4 ft x 8 ft. You're gonna use 6 songs, that's it! The workout will last ~22 minutes, depending on song lengths.

Song 1: Break it down! Dance like the crazy person you are & get that heart revving.
Song 2: Arm strength training exercises. (I did 20 reps per exercise ie: push-ups, tricep dips, half cobra push ups, arm circles)
Song 3: Leg strength training exercises. (20 reps again; squats, lunges, leg lifts, calf raises)
Song 4: Ab strength training exercises. (20 again; V ups, crunches, twists, obliques, bicycles)
Song 5: DANCE IT OUT! (Because working out is FUN and you HAVE to end on a good note!)
Song 6: Stretch! (You can even stretch for 2 songs, I did a little extra!)

And that's it friends! You'll find yourself sweating like crazy as long as you keep the intensity up! The cool thing about Pandora too, is the ADS! Use those to take a little water break and breather! :)

Have fun with this! And eat something wholesome to follow up! I'm headed to the kitchen to make a spinach & cheese egg white omelet!

ALSO: Get outside people, its beautiful and the SUN is grrrrrreat for your skin and your mood!

All my love <3

Emily
