How cute is this kate spade new york workout set? I fell in love with it when I saw it, and when I put it on my body I fell in love even more. The quality of this gear is top notch, & I’ve worn it multiple times this week already 😉 Many of you have been asking for my workout/ diet routine, so I’m finally making a post to share with you guys! (: In all honesty, I don’t have anything super specific that’s just a miracle worker or anything, but I’m going to go through what a typical week for me looks like, & I hope it’s helpful!
Diet:
For breakfast almost every morning I eat Raisin Bran, one of my favorite cereals! For lunch (no secret to most) I am usually eating Roly Poly, which consists of a grilled chicken wrap with bacon, onions, & bbq with a side of cheetos. I usually get hungry again around 4 or so, so I usually eat a snack of some sort around then. I try to make it something healthy like a boiled egg or smoothie. When I’m not eating Roly Poly, I make a homemade chicken salad sandwich. Our dinners during the week vary, but our main dishes are grilled chicken with veggies & potatoes, which we usually eat a couple of nights out of the week, and other nights we like to eat out: Chick fill a, Newk’s, Grandy’s, nothing too crazy. & then on the weekends we go kind of rogue: pasta, bread, pizza etc. we are starting to try to eat dinner at home more during the week, we will see how that goes (;
Exercise:
I work out at The Wellness Center in WM. I’m so sporadic when it comes to my workouts. It really just depends what I’m in the mood to do. The important thing for me is to try to be active at least 3-4 times out of the week. So a normal week for me looks like this:
Monday– Crossfit Iron Pelican class. I usually pick 1 day out of the week to go to crossfit. I try to pick a class where there isn’t super heavy lifting, and if there is, I scale it way down. I’m much more into body weight type things.
Tuesday– either run a mile, or do some sort of cardio workout that lasts about 20 minutes. For the remainder of the workout time I’ll usually do a few different strength type things
Wednesday– maybe a little cardio, but focusing more on different strength areas such as arms, legs, abs, etc. Again the workouts completely vary from week to week. But most of my movements usually consist of: rowing, burpies, kettle bell swings, squats, dumbbell push press, pull ups, box jumps, & here and there I will do weighted things like snatch, thrusters, etc.
Thursday– I attend a yin yoga class, which includes a bunch of stretching. Stretching is so important, and something we can tend to forget to do. It’s so important to stay flexible & mobile, and yoga is great for just that. I also love yoga fit classes for a more challenging yoga class.
There are many days where I will just feel completely drained & not feel like doing anything at all, but I try to force myself to just get to the gym, and once I’m there, I’ll do something. Even if I just decide to run a few laps that day, it’s better than nothing! I also want to encourage you with this, everyone’s body type, build, metabolism, they are all so completely different. So definitely be inspired & motivated, but it’s so important not to compare ourselves to anyone else. You were perfectly & wonderfully created just the way you are. It’s human nature to look at other people & like what they have or tend to want to look that way, but know that you were created & built the way you were for a reason, & it is beautiful! So stay active, work hard, have a clean & healthy lifestyle, & the rest will fall into place!
I really hope this was helpful! If you guys have any questions at all, please feel free to comment below, email or DM me on Instagram! Much much love!
