Happy Friday, everyone! Hope you all had a lovely 4-day work-week! While I was still busy with my Internship requirements and household chores, I was able to spend some quality time with my husband and friends over Labor Day weekend - watching College Football, of course!

Before turning on College Game Day this week, make sure you make time for this Free Fitness Friday Kettle Bell workout and blast some serious calories before scarfing down delicious Game Day snacks!

This workout is very simple to set up (all you need it one light-to-moderate weight Kettle Bell) and can be done in anytime frame that you have (anywhere from 15-60 minutes), but should be done at a fast-pace and with minimal rest. Complete all 5 exercises in a row for 1 round, rest for 1 minute, then begin with the first exercise for round 2. Complete as many rounds as you can in the time you have! (Try for 4-6 rounds!)

As always, be sure to warm up before beginning the first round and cool down and stretch when you are finished.

Round 1:

  • 10 reps Kettle Bell Deadlifts
  • 10 reps Kettle Bell Goblet Squat
  • 20 reps Alternating Reverse Lunges (10 reps each leg) holding the Kettle Bell at chest height
  • 10 reps Figure 8's to Press
  • 20 reps Overhead Sit-ups

That's the whole workout! Check out this video for demonstration of each exercise and please let me know if you have any questions!

Have a wonderful day and great weekend ahead!

Hooray! It's already Friday, it's already September, and it's already the half-way point of my first Dietetic Internship Rotation! Time sure is flying by, and while I do not feel that I have a lot of "free time" right now, I will always make time for a quick "Free Fitness Friday" work-out! Especially if it takes about 20 minutes to complete!

This week's Free Fitness Friday workout: Full Body Tabata (20 minutes):

The workout is very simple and involves 4 dynamic exercises for a full body burn! As always, be sure to warm up for 3-5 minutes before starting the timer and cool down and stretch after you complete the last round!

1 Round:

1. Jump Rope

2. Bosu Ball Push-Ups

3. Bosu Ball Sit-Ups 

4. Rope Slams

Perform each exercise for 20 seconds, then rest 10 seconds before moving on to the next exercise. Rest for 1 minute between rounds and repeat for 5-6 rounds. 

Check out my demonstration video to see how each exercise is performed!

I can't wait to head to my gym after clinical tomorrow and kick the long-weekend off with this quick, calorie-blasting workout! 

Hope you will "join me" and I hope you have a wonderful long-weekend!
