Updated: Jun 25, 2020
Hello beauties! I hope you've kept your mental health in check since COVID-19 unleaded its wrath in the world. It has been a year like no other to say the least. If you are here for the first time, THANK YOU for taking the time and checking my blog out. My mission is to inspire women to see the best version of themselves emotionally, spiritually and physically. Today I want to share with you a few workout routines that have given me great results. I want to tell you from the get-go that they are challenging, not easy, but if you're willing to start and not give up you will reap the benefits of your sweat and hard work.
The workouts consist of #HIIT, strength and weight training. On the days we do HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) we will get a Full Body Workout, on the days we do weight training we will focus on our lower body--the hardest muscle to work out...the peach!.
Remember to warm up for about 5 minutes by doing some jumping jacks, high knees and stretches before you get started.
Day 1: HIIT With a Chair
All you need is a chair, a mat and you!
Day 2: Let's get that Booty-ful with Weight Training Supersets
You need a pair of dumbbells, if you have a barbell with heavy weights we need those too, if not you can still use the dumbbells, a chair or bench and a resistance band.

Stretch and take a 20 minute walk
