What I do instead of taking real pictures with K…

BF: “I’ve paid for your food multiple times…”
Me: “I like paying for dinner! But only when I feel like you’ve been on a good boyfriend streak.” :P

Hey Guys, Check out my Instgram collection :D I love taking pictures and I like to share them even more!

  • 15 minutes total
  • 1 minute per move (30 seconds on each side, and 30 seconds per leg on last 3 moves) 
  • Do all 3x total

Hi everyone! So some of you have already tried this workout, which my core definitely needs! My first time was confusing, but you get the hang of the moves quickly. Sofia looks awesome doesn’t the moves too since she’s a dancer and incredibly flexible. Some tips I found: 

  • Stretch quads before. You use them a lot during the “V-Hold with Leg Kicks.” 
  • Keep inner-thighs together during the V-ups. If this is difficult, cross ankles to help. 
  • Sit on side of buttocks, not your hip, during “Side V-Ups with Leg Kicks.” it hurts less.

These were 0.99 on amazon! I bought three because they were so cheap and come with a silicon case AND an arm band. I just used them today during my Nike Training Club workout and it stayed secure and tight while I was doing burpees, presses, jumps, and quick feet! No need to buy the $30 dollar cases, people…They also hold up well while running too (wore them on my 4 mile sub 8:00 min pace run).

YES new bonus workouts on Nike Training Club! Update yo’ app!

It’s like having a personal trainer and a working out you can do in your home! There are so many challenging and varied moves. It’s basically high intensity circuit training. I do a “GET LEAN” workout on Mondays and “AB BURNER” various times in the week. I’m still exploring and trying out the different workouts, but I’m loving it so far!

It’s a food photo diary where you can rate how healthy and tasty your food and your friends’ foods are! Its pretty fun and motivating. It makes me strive to make healthy meals so  I can share it with others.
