FLOW #3

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a great Friday. As I said yesterday, I am in Illinois for my grandpa’s funeral. Again, I apologize for not being able to really comment and read all of your blogs. I’ll be back at it again when I get home.

One of the best ways for me to relieve stress or, as was the case this week, try to boost my mood is to exercise. Wednesday morning I needed a good workout to help make me feel better. My weight-lifting workout helped do just that. Here it is:

  Here are descriptions to some of the exercises:

Step-ups to reverse lunge

Cable face pulls

Cable squat to row

Up/down planks

Plank knee tucks

Supermans

Want to participate?

“Fitness Loves of the Week” (FLOW) is a link-up party similar to What I Ate Wednesday except it’s all about fitness! On Fridays I will post either a routine that I have created that week, a picture or video of a move that I have done, or even a post about a workout. You guys simply do something similar!

If you’ve had a great workout/fitness post earlier in the week and you don’t want to make up a new one, you don’t have to! Simply grab the button from my site, paste it in your Friday post, then when you link up you can use the link from whatever post of yours you want!

    I hope you are enjoying your time with your family and celebrating your grandfather’s life this weekend. Also, please excuse the random picture in my FLOW post…I accidentally clicked the “generic linky photo” button and it wouldn’t let me go back!

    Killer looking workout! And HOW did I forget about the step up reverse lunge combo? That used to be a favorite but I haven’t done it in forever! Thanks for the reminder.

    And still thinking about you. Hugs!

      Isn’t it amazing how we can forget certain moves! That’s why I love reading about other people’s workouts haha. And thank you so much tina! xxoo

    Aw so sorry to hear about your loss! It is good that you can find a little comfort in working out! I am impressed you are able to post at all! I feel it is your selflessness (that is a word) that is enabling you to still provide us all with a good work-out and link-up.

    Thanks for the post and you will be in my prayers!

    Just sending you some love. I barely worked out this week, so I can’t participate in FLOW, but I’ll be thinking of you this weekend!

    I’ve been needing a great “everything” workout – this looks awesome! It is starting to become tradition for me to do one of your workouts every Sunday morning. They are always so great! Thanks for being my sort-of-trainer, Lindsay 🙂

    I’m sorry to hear about the passing of your grandfather. I’m praying for you & your family.

    I’ve never tried a step-up to a reverse lunge! I’m intrigued by the workout so I’m going to give a try!! 🙂
