WHAT MY WORKOUTS HAVE BEEN LOOKING LIKE

I’ve got 5 incredible at home circuit workouts to share with you today! Just grab some dumbbells and you’re ready to GO get it done!

I feel workouts is absolutely one area of my blog that has really changed over the past few years.

Back in the day, I used to post about my workouts almost daily. It was just a major part of my life, and my blog, so that’s just what turned out to be my “norm.” Fast-forward to now and yes, my workouts are definitely still an important part of my life, but it’s just not something I wind up talking about all that often.

Do you guys even want to know what I’m doing these days? Or is that totally not interesting? I know there are plenty of other awesome blogs out there doing the workout thang!

Well, regardless, I thought I’d still go ahead today and share some of the workouts I’ve been trying out lately. Like I mentioned before, since we’ve moved in with our friends, it’s been awesome to be able to have a mini gym at my disposal. It has given me the opportunity to shake up my routine a bit more, and is allowing me to work some different muscles in different ways than I’ve been used to.

5 Incredible At Home Circuit Workouts

The first thing I did was hop on Pinterest (you following?!) and started searching for full body circuit workouts with dumbbells. I found a TON, but here are a few that really caught my eye and looked good enough for me to pin and try out.

This full body circuit workout with weights (<—with instructions on how to do each move!) was awesome. I first did it maybe a week or so ago, and I’m thinking I may wind up doing it again tomorrow.

Grab a set of weights and get ready to work your butt, back, legs, core — and just about every other part of your body!

This full body bikini shape-up circuit with weights was a fun one! I did two sets of each of the three circuits (due to time more than anything else) and I definitely felt like it worked the whole body by the time all was said and done.

Bikini Shape-Up Circuit With Weights

This circuit workout with weights (<—instructions on how to do each exercise there!) was a pretty good one. Some of the moves aren’t my favorites, but overall, it was still a solid workout and one I’d likely do again.

This full body dumbbell circuit was another good one I just did yesterday morning. I only had enough time to do two sets of each circuit instead of three, but I was still feelin’ the burn!

This short Bum bell routine is a great home workout! Burn fat build muscle, use weight amount according to your ability. Put some music on and have some fun doing it!

I love Presley. And I also love her dumbbell combo circuit. Compound moves are one of my favorites…work more muscles at once, get a better burn!

I’ve still been incorporating some of the various Beachbody workouts that I have a day or two a week (mostly PiYo and T25 Gamma lately), so having the full variety has been awesome. It’s making me think that I’m really going to need to find some new equipment so we can create our own home gym soon! 

Pin this pin on Pinterest to your favorite fitness board and share with a friend who may be looking to learn how to start working out.

The Complete High Protein Food List {printable with calories}

Eating sufficient protein can help with weight loss while preserving muscle.  Print this high protein food list for your fridge or notebook today and get new ideas for dietary protein. But, I thought a more comprehensive list would be fun to make, organized by how many grams of protein you get when weights are equal (100 grams).  What is protein? Proteins are large molecules found in living cells. Proteins are like building blocks to build tissues in the human body, such as muscle tissue, bones, blood, and even hormones. Proteins function as enzymes, antibodies, and they assist in maintaining fluid balance. Why protein should be included in your diet While our bodies are capable of making certain amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, there are are others, called essential amino acids, that can only be obtained through food. Because our bodies are constantly turning over tissue, new proteins are needed to replace degraded existing proteins. Cell growth, repair, and main...

20 High Protein Casserole Recipes

  I love casseroles, as I’m sure many of you do too. There’s something that is oh, so comforting about them. What’s more, they can feed a crowd. Casseroles also good for meal prepping- bake once, and you have leftovers you can pack for lunch or even dinner. Also, most casseroles use only one dish. So, you don’t have a ton of cleanup at the end. But most casseroles contain a ton of refined carbs and very little protein. This is a problem because when you don’t have enough protein, you don’t feel full…and that dessert seems so tempting. I have the perfect solution: High Protein Casseroles. Since they’re high in protein, they’re filling. So, you don’t end up having extra servings or two. Today, I’m sharing 20 High Protein Casserole Recipes. They’re not only high in protein but sure to delight your taste buds. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s make some casseroles! 1.

20 High Protein Meal Prep Ideas

  Are you trying to lose weight? Protein is the key. When you lose weight, you also lose muscle mass. And that’s when you get saggy, loose skin- yuck! By adding more protein to your diet, you increase your muscle mass. And in turn, you look better in your clothes. Adding more protein can also help you lose weight in the first place too. That’s because of all the macronutrients (protein, carbs, fat), protein helps you feel full the most. And when you feel full, you’re less likely to binge on unhealthy foods. Like that bag of chips that is calling your name. But we all live busy lives, and eating high protein meals can fall by the wayside. So, it’s a good idea to meal prep, so you have no excuse not to eat high protein meals. Today, I’m sharing 20 high protein meal prep ideas. They’re not only high in protein but delicious as well. 1.
