We ran out of coffee and I decided to try a new flavor...Mocha.
VERDICT: Amazing (as I am drinking it right now)

I always start my day off with a cup of coffee (ok maybe 2) quiet time, and some type of a workout or movement! Whether it be a simple walk, bodyflow, or an interval workout, I always plan to MOVE before I eat breakfast.
This morning I have planned an awesome HIT interval workout that you can do outside or in a gym.
HIT Workout
800 meter run/sprint (1/2 mile)
25 air squats
20 burpees
15 pushups
10 sit ups (full sit ups)
for 3 rounds
*all this requires is your body* no excuses*
Rest Later!
Rest Later!
Lace up those shoes and get moving!
On a side note I need help with something!
I have a problem with keeping my hair up and in place.
I find that EVERY single hair tie I buy stretches out and my hair ends up falling out when I am running. It is one of the most frustrating things because I end up running with a wobbly bun and am trying to redo my hair in the midst of pushing the stroller and running (not a pretty sight).
This is where I need HELP!
What hair ties have you found to actually stay TRUE to size and stay put in your hair?
Post Workout - Case in point
(FYI the workout kicked my BUTT. Def doing it again!)
I literally have piles of stretched out hair ties and need to throw them away, but won't until I have found ones that actually work and stay in!
Let me know if you have found ones that work PLEASE!!!
My hair is on the verge of falling out here...
I LOVE Bondi Bands as a headband but need to find a hair tie that I love too!
I found on Ashleys blog she did a Q&A and I absolutely loved the idea.
If anyone has any questions I would love to answer...
Pregnancy, birth, motherhood, fitness, nutrition, life, you name it!
Just email me or comment and I will write a post in the near future!
Have a good thursday and PLEASE help me find a good hair tie!

Ooh I love that workout-- I'm going to save that one for future reference! ;-) I wish I could help with the hair tie dilemma-- I have the same problem! I use Chickbands for headbands which work great, but somehow my hair always slips out of my hair tie and I end up looking like (even more than usual) a hot mess!
ReplyDeletehaha trust me I always look like a hot mess when I am done :)
DeleteWhat a great workout! I also have that same problem with hairties. They should make them more durable! And headbands usually slide right off... maybe I should just invest in some better quality ones. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteYa the workout kicked my butt, in an awesome way because it took 20 min and I was drenched! Love the pics of your lil boy!
DeleteI wish I could offer some hair band suggestions, but I have the exact same problem! So frustrating! Maybe this is a business venture we should explore?!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the HIIT workout--looks like a doozy, but in a very good way. :)
I am thinking we shall look into it and maybe start a business! Seriously NOONE has found one to hold hair up...esp for us runners!
DeleteGreat workout! I'm with you, I have yet to find a good hair tie that doesn't stretch out after two wears! I hate adjusting my hair mid-workout, but I can't stand the feeling of it falling out or getting in my face. Let us know when you find something that actually works!
ReplyDeleteYes you need to try this workout!
DeleteI tired just reading the workout! Lol! I'll have to give it a go! I wish I could help you with your hair tie problem, but I have the same one!
ReplyDeleteThere's a type of hair tie that's sort of rubbery, you can get them at Target. They're sort of clearish and they do NOT mess around - they're hard to get back OUT of your hair. I wear them for triathlons and they never move!
ReplyDeleteI realize that description sucked but I found them on amazon!
