Workout I Did

Get Sweaty With This SandBell Workout

There are things I truly dig about living in Florida — like the fact that I can pop over to the beach just about any time I want, whether it’s because I’m meeting friends for happy hour after work or want to do an outdoor workout while watching for dolphins. One of the downsides to living here, though, is the fact that we don’t have basements — and homes in my area don’t come with a ton of extra space or storage. So, while some of my friends in other parts of the country have all kinds of cool exercise… The post Get Sweaty With This SandBell Workout appeared first on Fit Bottomed Girls.

Workout I Did: 15 in 15

It’s possible to spend a lot of times building out a workout. You can use all kinds of equipment, determine how many reps you want to do for each, break it all down into supersets, really focus on specific muscles working in very particular ways, create brand new combination moves, you name it. You also don’t have to do any of that, if you don’t want to. Now, I’m gonna go ahead and guess that just making time for the workout itself is enough of a commitment on most days — I know that’s the case for me, and I… The post Workout I Did: 15 in 15 appeared first on Fit Bottomed Girls.

‘YOUv2’ Workouts Focus on the Fun

Gail Gedan Spencer

I had a few different fitness setbacks pile up, so between a cranky achilles on one leg and an IT band flare-up on the other, followed by dental surgery and a cold … let’s just say I’m a little deconditioned and in need of a good beginner workout to get me back in the swing. And I found it! I’m not sure where I first saw it, but a video of trainer Leandro Carvalho (he’s the Brazil Butt Lift guy) having the time of his life with a room full of “real-sized” women had me seek out his new YOUv2… The post ‘YOUv2’ Workouts Focus on the Fun appeared first on Fit Bottomed Girls.

Workout I Did: Learning to Surf

We all have that one thing that we’ve always wanted to try to but for whatever reason we just haven’t. For me, that thing is surfing. I grew up in the mountains of central Pennsylvania with a family that wasn’t big on beach vacations. It wasn’t until my late 20s that I started spending any time near the beach. And yet, the idea of surf lessons still seemed far off. Then, on a recent trip to Myrtle Beach, my chance finally came — at age 37, I was finally about to check surfing off my bucket list. For having this… The post Workout I Did: Learning to Surf appeared first on Fit Bottomed Girls.

Sightseeing on the Run: My London Running Tour

I truly believe the best way to get a good feel for a city is by exploring it on foot. I didn’t fall in love with New York until I had an opportunity to stroll the streets from the Lower East Side up to Central Park — but from that day forward, I totally got it. My husband and I recently visited London for the first time, and it didn’t take nearly so long for that city to claim my heart — but maybe that’s because, from the moment we stepped off the train from Heathrow, we spent a lot… The post Sightseeing on the Run: My London Running Tour appeared first on Fit Bottomed Girls.

The 20-Minute Workout That Had Us Burning at the FBG Retreat

We held our first ever live retreat earlier this month and, guys, it was AMAZING. Kristen and I will get into the hows and whys and ah-has and ALL of that in a later post (with deets on how you can get involved with fun stuff like that going forward — like here and here and here), but for now, we wanted to share the 20-minute workout that had us FEELING IT. Both inside and out. ‘Cause you know that’s how we roll … If you’re not familiar with the AMRAP style of workout, it means “as many rounds as possible.”… The post The 20-Minute Workout That Had Us Burning at the FBG Retreat appeared first on Fit Bottomed Girls.

Life Lessons Learned From Stand-Up Paddleboard Yoga

I LOVE Athleta catalogs. The women shown are strong, athletic and diverse. They’ve always shown women paddleboarding and I honestly thought I wouldn’t have the opportunity to try it unless I were to go to the ocean. But then a friend of mine recently got her stand-up paddleboard (SUP) yoga certification (Positive Vibes SUP + Fit) and brought it to Kansas City! As soon as I saw a date and time on the schedule that I knew I could make, I signed up. Of course, there were the hesitations. What do I wear? It’s yoga. On water. I was positive… The post Life Lessons Learned From Stand-Up Paddleboard Yoga appeared first on Fit Bottomed Girls.

That Time I Went to the Gym But Came Home and Lifted Wine Bottles Instead

I recently joined Planet Fitness. I’ve been struggling with my exercise regimen recently, so I was excited for the option to have the personal trainer there create a workout for me. The trainer and I met a few weeks ago to create my plan. We decided I’d do 2-3 days per week of cardio for 40-60 minutes. I have that covered with my weekly indoor soccer games, so that’s perfect for me. On non-cardio days, at least twice a week, I would do the strength workout he designed. I was nervous for this because I’m not used to using anything… The post That Time I Went to the Gym But Came Home and Lifted Wine Bottles Instead appeared first on Fit Bottomed Girls.

Train Like a Beast With This Track Workout

Think track workouts are only for serious runners? You know, the super speedy people wearing tiny shorts as they try to bring their 6:30/mile pace down to 6:15? via GIPHY Think again. Track workouts are great for all kinds of runners — including newbies and back-of-packers. Running around a track (even if it’s not a real track and it’s just a set, visible distance) can really help runners find their different gears, learn what it feels like to push through, and get an idea of what kind of recovery they need before they can push again. It helps build stamina… The post Train Like a Beast With This Track Workout appeared first on Fit Bottomed Girls.

Pre-Run Core and Upper-Body Workout

When I’m in a good workout groove, two-a-days are my best friend. I like getting in a good morning workout, but the group runs I enjoy so much with my friends take place in the evenings. So! Sometimes, that means strength in the morning and a run after work. If I’m doing my own workout (vs. hitting a class), I try to be really smart about what muscles I’m targeting on a day when I know I’m running later, so I’ve developed a number of strength workouts focusing on the core and upper body. I just received — and love — the… The post Pre-Run Core and Upper-Body Workout appeared first on Fit Bottomed Girls.
