Hey hey!
I’ve got a
short one for you today, lol. If you’ve been here for a while, ya know, I can get long winded. 😆
I’ve been really enjoying these things that I am sharing today.
1. Glute Circuit: I have been loving this glute circuit from Bret Conteras! Check it out here!
If you aren’t doing backside work, you are missing out. Missing out? Yes, a healthier back, healthy hamstrings, and strong glutes that are involved in pretty much every movement that we take. I know you’ve heard me talk before about the importance of your glutes (butt) being strong and healthy. Even if you are okay with the way
they look, etc.. you should still train them and watch how your body responds. Not sure where to start with glutes? Use this circuit, or start adding glute bridges to your warmups.
2. Premier Protein:
I love these Ready to Drink shakes. First, let me say is that protein supplements aren’t necessary,
you can always opt for a meat source. I like to use them for convenience and ease. Also, if you struggle to get enough protein in, a protein supplement will help you hit your protein intake with ease. If you prefer whole foods to protein supplements, go for it. I do too! As I said, I just really like the convenience sometimes.
Why eat protein in the first place: - Keeps you fuller
longer. - Balances your blood sugar. - Helps to build and maintain your muscle. - Promotes thermogenesis. 3. Rotisserie Chicken
I know you are probably busy. We all are, which brings me to the next favorite I really have been enjoying. Sill on the protein
talk here. A couple of weeks ago, while shopping at Costco, I discovered Rotisserie Chicken deboned, meat pulled, and packaged - ready to go! I was like woohoo, that’s my protein source for the week. It’s already cooked and ready to go. You can eat cold or warm it up. All you need to do is add some veggies, a carb and/or fat source, depending on how you structure your meals.
Viola, one less thing
to think about.
I like to make life much easier so that I can spend my energy on other things. So, when I am not in the mood to cook or prep all the things, ease, convenience, and time-saving strategies come into place. 4. Jump rope:
I’ve been using a jump rope for conditioning sessions and working on getting better at tricks. These are some of the ropes that I use, but any jump rope will work as long as the
ball bearings spin well and the rope is the right height for you. This a game changer for most, having the right length of jump rope. Check this jump rope length check video out {here}.
Check out these Youtube channels for some tips and tricks. I myself follow and refer to them on the regular. I learned how to do some tricks from watching there tutorials!
The key to getting
better at jumping is to jump, like anything else in life. It takes reps, reps, and more reps! A few times a week or more. It doesn’t have to be a marathon session, 10, 15, or 20 minutes will suffice. You can also jump for a warm up or even jump post workout, or on off day for some extra movement.
Well, that's it. Some of my favorite things that I wanted to share with you. Any favorite fitness or nutrition things
that you really are enjoying currently? How do you make day to day things less stressful? Hit reply and share with me. I love here from you!
