I decided to add in functional training today….I went to a nice grassy area and took a jump rope and resistance band with me… I just came up with it when I got there…I wasn’t in the mood to run the stairs and this was a great change of pace for me…. so I warmed up with a 5 minute jog and then I jumped roped for 5 minutes followed by 1 minute of jump squats, 1 minute sit ups, 1 minute pushups, 1 minute lunges, 1 minute jump squats on to a bench…. after this sequence I went back to the jumprope for 5 minutes… I repeated this sequence for about 40 minutes … with a couple rests in between because I was really OUT OF BREATH !!! Then, I came home and had a protein shake….and poped in a windsor pilates tape ( yes ~ tape it’s freakin old )and worked on my core….it’s a good day so far ! xoxo Gina

This week was a little challenging for me trying to keep up with my aggressive workout goals, work, home, and everything else…. but I kept doing the best I could.  I missed a cardio session this week….but that’s ok … I’m not going to beat myself up about it…. I’m really getting into Yoga … I love that it’s challenging for me and it really brings me into the present moment…. I can actually quiet my mind and just be with my body…. sounds weird but it feels good … and my posture is really looking good…. 

This next week my goal will be to eat only fish as my protein source and all of my veggies raw … my intentions are to give my body as much nutrients as possible … when incorporate more raw veggies my skin really glows … and my goal is always to look as good as my body does with my hair, skin, and nails… xoxo Gina 

Well my first week of serious training went great ! Legs are soar soar soar !!! My goal these next 3 months will be to include as much yoga and pilates as posible .. I want to make my waist as tiny as possible and stretching is the key …. along with no oblique exercises for me … the rest of my day will be making menus  … grocery shopping .. cooking  and mapping out my week workouts… and a little spa time at home …    " gotta keep it sexy !" oxox Gina

Ok … so most people are getting ready to have some fun this weekend … and I am going to be "business as usual" with my diet and training… no drinking or eating anything that is not part of my clean and mean macros …. I may add some outside cardio this weekend … by the beach ….really early in the morning … to beat the heat … and I love running sprints up stairs … I love the BURN !!! Also, I’m adding some yoga tonight …. flexiblity is part of looking young …. it’s one of those things you can’t really pinpoint in someone but it really makes a difference in how you carry yourself…   ex.  babies REALLY flexible … senior citizens REALLY stiff … I know what your thinking … it’s challenging enough to get cardio and weights in but I PROMISE it’s just the "icing on the cake" to your figure … men and women .. xoxo Gina

OK my fellow iron family …. I have been on hiatus this whole year… life just go to me a little this year…. but I don’t know what it is about the fall … ( maybe cause summer is over … he he ) … I"m ready to do this again…. train…eat….sleep…. and a lot of fun spa trips … for the next couple of months … I’m so freaking excited !! I really love when I am focused and on fire with my healthy lifestyle … Wishing everybody an AMAZING Labor Day weekend … mine will be filled with cardio and pilates … and I wouldn’t have it any other way !! xoxox Gina
