Weekly Workout Schedule: Week 6 of FITTER & The Bikini Series

Swiftly Tech Short Sleeve Crew Neck Tee | Mind Over Miles Short | Nike Air Max Sneaker

SHOP THE POST:

Good morning friends!! I hope everyone is in the middle of a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!! Craig went on a fun little fly fishing trip with his bros, and my parents came to visit me in Charlotte! I have to admit it was very nice to not have to battle the traffic in and around Charlotte and have 3 days at home relaxing!

After taking week 5 slightly less intense and cutting back on some of the optional workouts I was doing, I feel SO much better. You can definitely over do it and you just have to make sure you’re listening to your body to hear what it is telling you.  I got my 5 mile run in yesterday and today is my rest day but I am planning to take a walk 🙂

Also, this is one of my all time favorite workout tops and shorts…and leggings are great but I’ll be real with y’all, when I’m working out inside or when it’s HOT (which is pretty much will be here in North Carolina now until maybe late September) I like to get my sweat on in shorts. And for any of you ladies with more muscular quads and booty, these are the shorts you need!! They have lots of hidden pockets and mesh.  The top is so flattering which I know isn’t the goal when you’re working out but it doesn’t hurt right? I would say size up if you’re wanting a looser fit. I’m wearing a 6 here for reference.  It also comes in a tank version which I also have and love! It’s linked in the widget above. PS- My sports bra is from Forever21…they actually have a lot of cute workout gear for very low price 🙂
