Weekly Workout Schedule + High Waist Crop Leggings (+ FITTER & The Bikini Series)

Leggings | Tank Top | Sports Bra | Sneakers

SHOP THE POST:

Hi friends!  If you read my post last week then the information in this week’s post should come as no surprise.  I wrote about how I am going to participate in the Tone It Up Bikini Series in conjunction with my own workouts just as a fun way to change it up and get ready for summer. That does not mean I will be doing all of their workouts AND all of my workouts…I don’t have time for that and I would be burnt out in the first week!  So I plan to post my weekly workout schedule as normal, except for a little something special…I am going to launch my FITTER program today that I have worked for a long time on! I couldn’t figure out the right time to do it, and now seemed as good a time as any! FITTER is a 6-Week Program while the Bikini Series lasts for 8 weeks, so I’ll figure out what I’m going to do those last 2 weeks when we get there.

So I’ll post the FITTER Weekly Workout Schedule here as always on Sundays, and then I will also input the TIU workouts that I am going to aim to do as “add on’s” or as an “and/or” type of thing with my workout.  I should say some of their workouts that they have programmed are their new Beach Babe 5 DVD that you have to purchase, so in that case if you don’t feel like getting that, just use my workouts instead.  Check out my newly developed FITTER Exercise Index page that has the picture demos of every move of the workouts in the program.

FYI: All of the FITTER circuits are approximately 26 minutes or less, so keep that in mind when you are scheduling

Monday: Legs & Cardio + optional Tone It Up 20 minute walk

6 minute circuits- Do each circuit for 6 minutes each, as many times through as you can in those 6 minutes.  Do circuit 1, then circuit 2, then repeat each again.

Wednesday: Abs, Arms, & Cardio + Tone It Up ABSOLUTELY BOOTYFUL  (26 minutes)
