Trying new workout's

Hey all. So i know it's been awhile again! Sorry. Life gets busy as you all know:) I just wanted to share and talk about a new fitness blogger i have discovered. Cassey Ho of www.blogilates.com she is the creator of Pop pilates in San Francisco. She not only posts great workouts but lot's of recipes too. I haven't tried making any of them yet. But they all look great and she even has one for a healthy microwave oatmeal muffin! Nothing like a quick clean snack!

So if you are looking for something new and to switch it up i would definitely check her out! Yesterday i did 3 of her workouts. I did the RIP workout which is basically an arm/ab circuit done in the plank position for the whole circuit...whoa kicked my ass. I also did the Slim n' sexy summer arms workout and this one was so hard...my arms were jello after. I then wanted to work on my abs some more so i did Cinch that waist ab circuit. To end it off i did Tone it up's Ghost Buster cardio 3 times through instead of the 5 times since i was doing my long run this morning. Not so smart the day before a long run. My legs were on fire for my whole run this morning. But it felt great despite that.

I just got back from a walk with Laila and my mom...nothing like a good walk to get the lactic acid out of your legs i find! I will foam roll like crazy tonight and i plan on going to hot yoga tomorrow to stretch it out even more. Speaking of which i am really enjoying hot yoga at Dynamic Fitness in Moncton. If you haven't checked out a class there i truly recommend it. I try to make it twice a week as i find it really compliments my running which these days is my main focus and workouts. I typically run 3 days a week. Mondays is a tempo run about 8-10km, Wednesdays is a speed track workouts at CEPS and Saturdays are my long easy runs. I find i injure myself if i run anymore than 3 days a week so i cross train with hot yoga and full body or arm/ab circuits. The great thing about circuit training is that they work your cardio at the same time. I love having a home gym now. I'm slowly building it. I have a treadmill, some weights, a kettle bell, bosu and gym quality stability ball. Which is almost all i need. I would like to get some more weights though some 10's for sure. I really don't lift heavy anymore now that i am into circuit training and running being my main workout. I would like to get an elliptical one day too though as i find they are great for cross training and that's one thing i miss using at the gym.
