Sweat, sweat, sweat! This #workout felt great, and I had to push myself. I took some breaks, but overall, it was pretty good. I pushed myself beyond my limits because I knew I could do better. It’s all in the head, guys. :) I definitely felt my legs after those squat jumps, and that burnout round KILLED my legs! Anyways, I had a wonderful workout today. I absolutely love HIIT, and this was much needed. Hope you all had a great day! #exercise #HIIT #fitness #fitnessblender #highintensityintervaltraining #intervaltraining #intervals #cardio #legs #stretch #fit #fitspo

Today’s #workout was brutal, but I feel so amazing! When I tell you that I was pouring sweat, I’m not joking, haha. The stream of sweat probably didn’t stop until I sat in front of my fan for a few minutes. My tank and shorts were soaked, and I looked like I just took a swim with my clothes on, haha. I took a few breaks, but other than that, this was almost done all the way through. I only took rests when I really needed it. The stretching routine at the end felt really relieving, and I’m glad I did it. I need to keep stretching because it benefits me so much. I’ve lost some tone and feel out of shape, but I’ve seriously been busy with school. I’m always trying to keep up with my workouts and health because that is as important. Anyways, hope you all had an amazing workout! #exercise #fitness #fitnessblender #HIIT #highintensityintervaltraining #intervaltraining #intervals #training #cardio #fit #fitspo #stretch #Tabata #tabataprotocol #sweat

I’m happy to say that I can actually see my calves a lot more now. This little change just motivates me even more! :D Today’s HIIT routine was quick and intense, and I absolutely LOVE it! I pushed myself as far as I could, and even though it wasn’t too great, I’m going to stay positive and focus on the things that were on the brighter side. :) I didn’t do that specific stretch video, but I did stretch after my workout. It’s essential, in my opinion. Anyways, its 11:30 right now, and I’m usually in bed by 10:30, but I decided to help my sister do a project. I have an Algebra II test and supposedly, a tennis match in PE tomorrow. Watch me try to pass my test, but fail at tennis, haha. I’m confident about this math test. The tennis drills were just a little difficult for me, but that’s because I’m used to just using my body, not a racket. Let’s hope I don’t do too bad tomorrow, haha. :) #workout #exercise #fit #fitspo #fitness #fitnessblender #HIIT #HighIntensityIntervalTraining #intervaltraining #intervals #hiitpyramid #stretch #training #Tabata #tabataprotocol

Long #workout because I did HIIT and abs, but I’m so happy to be back! Being a week since I’ve worked out, I have lost some muscle mass, but I’ll make it back. :) My calves have been unbelievably sore, even when I began this workout, but I pushed through it and it eased the pain a little bit. I even wore some Salonpas patches on calves, haha. I’m feeling as motivated as ever, so I felt pretty good. I may have lost some endurance and strength, but that’s fine considering the rest week. Hope you all killed your workouts! #HIIT #cardio #cardiovascular #highintensityintervaltraining #intervaltraining #intervals #fitness #exercise #fitnessblender #abs #abdominals #pilates #calisthenics #toning #strength #strengthening #strengthtraining #obliques

So, I attempted a Tabata HIIT routine today, and only got through the warm-up and four sets of the moves because I am extremely sore. I even tried stretching before to relieve my muscles so that I could continue, but after failing to do so, I realized that I need to let my body rest. It’s much more inportant to take a rest when you need it to get the maximum benefits in your workouts than staying on schedule to workout. Especially being sore, take a day off. So, I stopped the HIIT and just went on to stretch. Now, I feel a lot better, and I know that I wasn’t in great condition to do HIIT because I couldn’t balance on one leg while stretching. I regret omitting stretches these past few days because I don’t feel too good, physically, at the moment. I don’t want to stress my body out like I did earlier this summer, so I’m listening to it. In other news, my teacher didn’t get my time for the mile on Monday when I ran in PE, so she made me run it again…… Like I’ve said before, I am not a runner, but I beat my super old time of 16 minutes. Only by five minutes, but that’s improvement. :D My goal is to be able to run a 5-7 minute mile, which seems out of reach, but I’ll get there. I’m a lot stronger and fitter than I’ve ever been, and I’ve been feeling AMAZING this week for some reason. Anyways, hope you all had a wonderful day and killed those workouts! #workout #HIIT #HighIntensityIntervalTraining #intervaltraining #intervals #cardio #cardiovascular #Tabata #tabataprotocol #run #mile #running #stretch #cooldown #rest

Definitely killed today’s #workout! My endurance hasn’t slowed down at all! It’s all in the mind, guys. :) I was going to go for 20 more minutes to make my strength training routine come to a total of one hour, but then I’d be overworking myself, and I didn’t want to do that. I had to go straight to the shower afterwards because I felt very “sticky”, haha. I’m very happy with my performance in that HIIT routine though. I was struggling the first time I did it, but this second time, I’m stronger and pushed myself. I was actually inspired by the USWNT today via Tumblr. Not a bad way to motivate yourself, I do say so myself, haha. Anyways, what a great start to the week. Along with a lot of people, I dread Mondays, but let’s do it tomorrow. Hope you all had a fantastic day! :) #exercise #HIIT #HighIntensityIntervalTraining #intervals #intervaltraining #cardio #cardiovascular #fitness #fitnessblender #strength #strengthening #StrengthTraining #training #fit #fitspo #butt #glutes #calisthenics #pilates #legs #lowerbody #thighs #calves #intense #motivation (Taken with Instagram)

I did the video once (two rounds), and then I decided to do it once more. Four rounds total, and I’m dead! I followed it up with a lower body stretching routine. By the third round of the HIIT, I was completely focused and into it. I did it straight through. I had to pause right before the burpees, take 1 minute breaks before doing the video once more when they only gave 20 seconds, and modify the double butt kickers, but overall, I think I did much better. This was a FitnessBlender level 4, so it caused me to push myself, but I’m up for it. I’m going to work hard to see and feel changes. The time was organized in a pyramid structures, so it added more difficulty. I did the tuck jumps so well that I even surprised myself. Yay for improvement! I’m easing back into jumps now, so I feel great. Oh, and remember the Algebra II test I was studying for yesterday? I ended up not passing….. I have six A’s and one C, but once I turn in my other Algebra work, I could bring it back up to a B. Geometry was MUCH easier, in my opinion. Anyways, enough rambling, haha. Kill those workouts today, guys! #workout #fit #fitspo #FitnessBlender #exercise #fitness #HIIT #highintensityintervaltraining #intervaltraining #intervals #circuittraining #stretch #cardio #cardiovascular #justdoit (Taken with Instagram)

I’m wondering why I was so worn out during the HIIT routine…. Oh well, there’s room for some improvement, and I’ll work my way back up there. :) So, pretty good #workout. I really didn’t want to workout today, but I got myself into my workout clothes and just went for it. I feel a lot better now, so it was worth it. :) Oh, and if you haven’t noticed, Maroon 5 is one of my favorite bands and I’m a big fan, so that’s why I almost always listen to their music. :) #exercise #fitness #fitnessblender #arms #upperbody #shoulders #chest #weights #lifting #toning #strengthening #strengthtraining #HIIT #highintensityintervaltraining #intervals #intervaltraining #training #fitspo #fit (Taken with Instagram)

I guess not doing HIIT for a week really lowers your ability too keep up with it, haha. This was a lot more challenging than I expected, because I’ve been doing routine for awhile, so I thought I knew it well. Of course, I worked up a great sweat, and I’m feeling good. No more straying from HIIT because I love it too much. :) #HIIT #cardio #cardiovascular #highinstensityintervaltraining #intervaltraining #intervals #fitness #fitnessblender #exercise #stretch #cooldown #workout (Taken with Instagram)

Whew. This is a long routine, but I did both HIIT and upper body. That HIIT workout was killer, not even kidding. It was a level 5, and I really surprised myself in that one. I was able to do most of the moves, and I even did the majority of the reps in the moves I couldn’t even keep up with. So happy about this! Those rocket squats were deadly, but I did them! Of course, I took a few breaks, but its better than stopping. My arms are also getting the hang of lifting consecutively. A lot of progress I see! Yay! Anyways, I’ve only had three meals today, and its already six, so I’m trying to get in two more if I can. If not, than that’s totally cool. Hope you all had a great weekend! <3 #workout #HIIT #highinstensityintervaltraining #intervaltraining #intervals #cardio #cardiovascular #arms #shoulders #chest #upperbody #lifting #weights #weightlifting #strengthtraining #fitness #exercise #fitnessblender #Tabata (Taken with Instagram)

I’ll bet you a gazillion dollars that I’m literally coated and soaked with sweat right now. You’d mistaken me as if I just stepped out of the shower, haha. Anyways for today’s #workout, I only planned on doing the “Train Like An Athlete Interval” video, but I found it too be way too easy. FitnessBlender rates the difficulty level of their videos from 1-5, but I didn’t check it out until after doing the video… Oops. I’ve worked my way up to a difficulty level of 4. It’s still slightly challenging, but I’m going to keep working at it until I can do a 5. One of the last interval workouts I did was a difficulty level of 5. Tiring, but I can do it. Just not as comfortably, but there’s time to build up the stamina and endurance. :) It’s important to set short and long term goals, so do so! It keeps me motivated, and it may also help you with your fitness goals. :) So for that first video, I decided to count it as a warm-up. Now the “Sports Endurance” one was KILLER! AAAAHHH.. In other news, I woke up this morning with sore legs and tight abs. Love it! Those sore legs may have contributed to my slower exercise duration during this…. If you’re dripping sweat, your throat and mouth is dry, water tastes like the best thing you’ve ever consumed, your sweat acts like a glue and results in your hair sticking to your body, then you’ve succeeded. At least that’s how I see it. This is my last HIIT day of the week, so I like to go hard at it! This is getting extremely long, but remember that every little bit counts, so keep at those goals! #exercise #fitness #athlete #HIIT #highintensityintervaltraining #circuittraining #intervals #intervaltraining #fitnessblender #cardio #cardiovascular #stamina #endurance #training (Taken with Instagram)

I am so tight on my schedule today, as I am with the majority of my Mondays, so today being a HIIT day is much appreciated. I just love HIIT. :) I haven’t done this routine in a little while, so I was pushing myself. My legs feel very weak for some odd reason, but I survived the #workout. :D Anyways, time to take a nice, cold shower then make my post-workout meal. #exercise #fitness #fitnessblender #HIIT #HighIntensityIntervalTraining #intervals #IntervalTraining #cardio #cardiovascular #stretch #cooldown (Taken with Instagram)

My #workout today isn’t called Lower Body HIIT for Strong Legs for nothing. There was basically no complete rests in there, so I really worked my butt off. I was a little unsatisfied with my performance, so I went back to touch it up a bit, and now I’m happy. :) I had a feeling that jumping lunges would be in there, but adding jump squats with a pulse is killer! And the jumping jacks straight after every round.. Aaaaahhhhh. Anyways, my post workout meal is cooking right now, and I also have my fan plugged in right next to me as I do my schoolwork, haha. Hope you put your all into your workout today! It’s 100% dedication! #fitness #fitnessblender #exercise #HIIT #HighIntensityIntervalTraining #intervaltraining #intervals #legs #cardio #endurance #strength #stamina (Taken with Instagram)

You are one #workout away from a better mood :) I swear, there’s something about Blogilates cardio videos never tire me in the beginning, but by the third and fourth round, I get so worn out. Anyways, its a few minutes shorter than my usual HIIT routines, but with anaerobic exercise, there’s no need to do too much. My vocal lessons changed from Tuesdays to Mondays, so I’m looking to going today. :) Gives me chance to relax from everything around me. Hope you all killed today’s workouts! Don’t give up now! #Blogilates #cardio #HIIT #HighIntensityIntervalTraining #intervaltraining #intervals #motivation #exercise #fitness #fit (Taken with Instagram)

I finished this about a half an hour ago, and I’m feeling good. :D I decided to do today’s #workout earlier because then my mood and energy would be better the whole day. I really don’t like evening workouts, haha. Anyways, I haven’t done a Blogilates cardio video in a long time, so I decided to give it a go again. It’s funny that I’m doing FitnessBlender to tone and Blogilates for cardio when it was vice versa. I didn’t do the Lolo Lunges video well because my legs aren’t at that level yet, not to mention that I dislike lunges and that they were dead at the end of all of that HIIT cardio, but I did what I could. It felt great afterwards though. :) I couldn’t stop dripping sweat after this routine, but now it has settled. Okay, I had an amazing workout today, and this feeling is what I missed about summer break: early endorphin rush!! Hope you all kill your workouts today! #Blogilates #fitness #exercise #cardio #HIIT #FatMeltingRoutine #HighIntensityIntervalTraining #intervaltraining #intervals #lunges #popcardio #lunges #legs (Taken with Instagram)
