Getting Back on Track

     With a wedding and honeymoon this summer, then the busiest of "back to school" this August, several things have fallen to the wayside.  I feel like I haven't blogged in years and I know I haven't seen the inside of a gym in two months.  It's all about to change!  My goal is to post at least once a week and to get back in the gym on the reg...  What I need is a plan of attack!
     In my research of workout routines, I actually found some great ideas.  The exercises in this post came from a ten week workout schedule.  I decided to change it up a little bit and do these simple routines three days a week and try some HIIT or interval training the other three days.  I know that it's quite ambitious, but those are the best goals to beat!
     To make it even crazier, I also want to work on my run game and start small wake-up workouts.  I know, I know....I'm tired just typing it  Those will be a different post (let me not get ahead of myself)!  The three workouts below are simple yet challenging and require zero equipment.  They can, as always, be modified for your specific needs and level.  The idea is for these to fall Monday, Wednesday, and Friday but it'll really be whenever it fits in my schedule.  Stretch, drink plenty of water, and have fun in your workout!  Just think about those sexy skinny jeans :)
