Butt and Gut WOD

So I decided to focus on the muscles in my body that I want to be super toned. One day I will have a six pack dammit. I meant, wth, why is it the top 4 are super defined and the bottom two are just all like, "Yea, we know you do lower core workouts, but we don't care. We're not coming out. Neener, neener, neener."

Oh well, I'll crack the code on that one another day.

On the other hand, I'm super proud of my glutes. I went through Insanity, P90X, and now crossfit style workouts and it wasn't until about a week ago that I even looked at my butt since probably Halloween. I mean, I'd seen it in clothes (but looking good in clothes and looking good naked are two completely different things) but for the first time in a long time I donned a bathing suit to go to the beach. My reaction was pretty much this:

Squats, seriously, do wonders for the butt region. DO ALL THE SQUATS...anyway. So at work I've started making those pins since they are in the health and fitness industry. Here is the latest one, which can be found on this blog post as well.

 

So there it is, your core and glute WOD. 

Total Body WOD

My husband brought this WOD home to me a few weeks ago. It took me 22:15 to do the whole thing, and then die afterward...or go for a run, whichever. In other news that apparently only I care about (rest of the world, why u no interested in my fitness?), I can now do ~6~ pull ups. Your jealousy is overwhelming.

Anyway, here it is without further ado, the total body WOD:

Those 3 max set of dead hang pull ups were killer. I warn you, your max after the 4 sets will not be your max from a fresh start. I was all jello and lame-sauce after them and could not crank out nearly as many.

Good luck!

Cardio & Strength WOD

I realized I tend to either get hyper focused on strength training or cardio and I never really mix the two, which is what inspired today's WOD:

I originally planned on doing this one later today, but seeing as there is a tropical storm passing through causing bucket of rain and tornados to appear, I think I may be staying indoors. I do have a treadmill, but ug I hate that thing. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to suck it up and use the dang thing. Not sure what the hubs is gonna do though. His stride is way too long for it.

As you may or may not have realized, I post these on my pinterest as well. There are tons of other workout routines on that board, so be sure to check it out for more ideas.

Speaking of fitness boards, what is it with most pinners and their inability to pin real workouts? They have tones of motivational images but no actual routines to follow. It is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to pinterest. I don't care if people want to have pictures that motivate them, but, seriously, label the board as such. Fitspiration, My Motivation, etc are all acceptable title. I Workout, Working on My Fitness, etc leads me to believe there will be workouts. If I don't see them, I get irritated (which is why I started making my own workout graphics in the first place. I've actually written an entire article on the issue:

#1 Reason Pinteresters Fail at Pinterest.

But enough of my blather, you have a workout to do ;)
