Weekly Workout Schedule + Floral & Palm Print Activewear

Happy Sunday & Happy Easter to you my friends! Today I’ve got some of my favorite floral and palm print pattern activewear (including these leggings and this bra pictured here!) that seriously inspires me to get out and move!!  I love how fresh workout gear will do that.  Check out the “Shop the Post” section below” for more!  I think it also goes really well with the feelings of spring & summer AND the Bikini Series from Tone It Up.

I have sort of followed TIU since they first started and while I’m no religious follower, I do like to throw their workouts into my routine every now and then because the style is a little different and it changes it up!  Their annual Bikini Series starts on April 24th, and I plan to follow the challenge partially, in conjunction with my normal workouts.  I will continue to put up my weekly workout schedule and then I will share which of their workouts from their schedule I plan to incorporate as a little extra challenge or perhaps in place of one of my normal workouts.  So you will see that start on my weekly workout schedule next Sunday.  It’s all about changing it up and keeping it fresh, and it’s a fun challenge.  I hope you will follow along with me!  Let me know in the comments or on Insta if you plan to 🙂

Monday: Legs & Cardio: Do each circuit 5x through before moving to the next circuit!
