So, I just got home from the gym…after a week off!

Eep! I know I know – its not something I should be doing – especially when at least 10 weeks away from show time. But I promise it was necessary.

I spent last weekend in bed with the stomach flu – which is a GREAT way to lose 5lbs REAL quick. However, the lack of food for two days + a little leftover queasiness made it impossible to go to the gym Monday and Tuesday. I also made a promise to myself to take it easier this week as the excitement/stress of a new job last week + workouts led me to get the stomach flu.

Since health really is most important…I took it slow. A then snowstorm prevented me from going to the gym another day and by Friday I was too pooped to wake up early and get to the gym. SO, that leaves me to today…and my refreshed body that’s been WAITING to go to the gym!

I changed the workout up a bit – did a quick full body workout – just to wake up all my muscles and let them know its time to get back to business – haha. Let me tell you – a few of the moves were completely different and my buns are ALREADY burning! Haha…here’s today’s workout:

This was then followed by 20 minutes of intervals on the Stair Climber – 1 minute low speed – 1 minute HIGH speed. It was definitely the PERFECT way to get my body back into it! Can’t wait for Monday!!!
