a new type of workout

Hello again!! I am so happy I am able to have a new post for the blog this week.  If you missed Wednesday's post click here to read up on my favorite smoothie bowl toppings.  I have really taken a liking, no loving, to smoothie bowls (a.k.a. a smoothie in a bowl with yummy toppings) They are so delicious and good for you, how could you say no?!  Keep following the blog for more healthy recipes. Want to shop this look? Keep reading to find out how.


Back to the topic of today's post, I really like to get in at least one good workout a day I mean, that's the goal, not saying it always happens. ;)   I get tired of always doing the same workout or running the same trail, whatever it is, so I get creative.  I don't do this all the time because to get results you have to continuously work on the same area of your body, but for a little fun you can do this.

Get ready... use the curb!

Curbs are all around and totally useful to get maybe a little quicker footwork for your dance moves at the next wedding, but the biggest ways curbs can be used is to get some fun cardio in.  I like to put on a playlist of a few songs that I'm loving and do different motions using the curbs.  Really there isn't a right or wrong way to use the curb, but here are my favorite routines I'll do.  

left foot up, right foot up - left foot down, right foot down
to: Surfin' U.S.A. (I do this one quickly with a few ten second breaks)

small box jump (just jumping onto the curb with both feet)
to: War by Edwin Starr

left foot up while right foot is down (going sideways)
then switch sides
to: Shout by the Isley Brothers





I just try to have fun with it and make up moves, but it is tiring!!

As far as these leggings and shoes, the leggings are from Old Navy.  They no longer carry this print but here are the same style leggings in solid colors .  They have so many more options too on their site.  Click here for all their legging options.  I got these Nike shoes at Dick's and could not be more pleased.  They are super comfy and go with everything.
