Weekly Workout Routine + Healthy Dinner Recipe

I love blue & white! And y’all know I love some mesh.  This sports bra crop top hybrid is sexy, fun, fashionable, & functional.  It also comes in Black.  These leggings come in so many colors and patterns too so find your favorite or favorites!  The color that I am wearing is currently on sale too.  I’ve had this white tank for a few years now but I found this one that is similar but even better…just look at the back! 

You can find the top also at Carbon38–>remember to use code BESSHAR50 to get $50 off your first purchase of $200 or more.  Crop top here.

SHOP THE LOOK:

Sports Bra Crop Top | Leggings | Tank (similar here) | Shoes | Sunglasses here and here

Another week, another weekly workout routine! I feel like that saying “fail to plan, plan to fail” is so true especially when it comes to keeping up with healthy habits like working out and eating right.  I recommend having an agenda or journal where you can write down your weekly plan and track everything there!

Monday: FULL BODY WORKOUT | repeat circuit 5-6x

  • Burpee + Squat w/ Curl to Press 10x
  • 10 Mountain Climbers + 4 Pushups 5x
  • Squats w/ Alternating Leg Raise w/ Lateral Shoulder Raises 10x/side
  • Single Leg Booty Kickback w/ Triceps Kickback 10x/side
  • Bicycle Abs 40x

Tuesday: CARDIO | 30-45 minutes your choice!  Running is usually my choice 🙂

Wednesday: ABS & ARMS | repeat circuit 5x

  • 10 Jumping Jacks + 10 Plank Jacks 5x
  • Biceps Curl to V-Press in Chair Pose 12-15x
  • Single Arm Row to Triceps Kickback in Lunge Position 20x/side
  • Spider Planks 40x (20x/side)
  • Up/Down Planks 20x
  • Alternating Rear Fly to Row 20x
  • Toe Touch Crunches 20x

Thursday: CARDIO | 30-45 minutes your choice!

Friday: LEGS, BOOTY, & CARDIO | Repeat 3x through

  • Split Lunge Jumps 20x (10x/side)
  • Squats w/ Alternating Back Leg Kickback 20x
  • Skaters w/ Single Leg Jump Up 20x
  • Donkey Kicks 20x/side
  • Fire Hydrants 20x/side
  • Single Leg Glute Hip Bridges 10x/side
  • Jump Squats 15x
  • High Knees Run in Place 30 seconds

Saturday: CARDIO 45-60 minutes of your choice!

Sunday: Rest Day or take a nice easy walk 🙂

Remember you can check out the Exercise Index page if you are unsure of how to do a move or feel free to leave me a comment if you have any questions! Bodybuilding.com is another great resource you can search.

Did you know that you get search the Blue Apron Cookbook website and get their recipes for free?  That’s what I did when I was in search of a salmon recipe a few weeks ago.  I thought the BBQ-Spiced Salmon & Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Arugula, Apple & Walnut Salad sounded absolutely delicious so I got my grocery list together and made this recipe.  

It ended up being super easy and I even had leftovers for lunch that I turned into salmon salad.

Have a great week!

xo,

Bess
