Weekly Workout: Gentlemen of Country

This week’s work out is brought to you by the gentlemen of country music. Can I get a “Yee Haw”, Y’all? Thinking about Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean sure is a great way to zone out on the elliptical!

As I said last week, interval training is my favorite! While this one is geared towards the elliptical  feel free to apply it to the treadmill, too (you know, to change it up)!

Here are the YouTube links to the songs:

Rain is a Good Thing // Hick Town // Something to do with my Hands // 5-1-5-0 // Banjo // Celebrity // Feel like a Rock Star

Today’s Pickins:

1.       I’m excited to read The Five Love Languages: Singles Edition during my travels this weekend

2.       Snacks under 200 calories will be great for my post-gym munchies!

3.       Highball glasses are a sweet gift for my newly engaged / newlywed friends!

4.       “Know What? Bitches get stuff done.” –Tina Fey (thanks for the reminder, lady!)  

Weekly Workout: Summer Shape Up!

Over the past few months, I’ve slowly become addicted to the gym—and it feels good! Monday was my first measurement in five weeks and it was SO motivating to see 13 inches gone in that time!

I do a little cardio every time I go to the gym before I switch over to weights. I have a love/hate relationship with the treadmill in that I tend to get bored easily. I’ve found that a good playlist is key in overcoming this obstacle.

Here is one of my favorite recent playlists! Instead of interval training at different minute marks on the machine, this list has you changing with each song to help you keep your eye off that clock!

Give it a try and look out for some more mixes.

What are your favorite songs to work out to?

Cotton’s Pickins:

1.       A Greek Yogurt Blackberry Smoothie sounds like a great breakfast!

2.       How the Olympic Games have changed in favor of women over the years

3.       Pantone’s colors of fall—Rhapsody inspired my recent nail polish choice!

4.       This Jonathan Adler lamp is perfection. But for the price, might have to be a DIY try!
