Do-Anywhere Running + Bodyweight Workout

Good morning!

When it comes to my workouts, my favorite motto is “Never Miss a Monday” because it sets the tone for my week and gets the momentum rolling with all of my healthy habits. Since it’s Monday (helloooo, #mondaymotivation), let’s get moving with a workout that you can do just about anywhere.

Wearing: Brooks Fremont Tank Top // Brooks Greenlight Capris // Brooks Juno Sports Bra // Brooks Glycerin <— Did you know that Zappos.com sells more than just shoes!? It’s true! They sell all sorts of awesome name brand apparel, handbags, and accessories for women, men, and kids! Woohoo! 

With this running + bodyweight workout, there’s no need for a gym or any sort of equipment. The only thing you need is your body and some space to run. Well, ok, you’ll need an object (i.e. bench, curb) for Step-Ups and Tricep Dips, so just keep your eyes peeled! Coupled with high-intensity running (think: push-pace), you’ll use your bodyweight in three different movements for a challenging, head-to-toe workout. I promise, it’s a good one! Are you ready to sweat? Let’s go!!

Here’s the workout:

  • Jog for 5-10 minutes (warm-up)
  • Run 800 meters
  • 15 Step-Ups with Leg Lift (each leg)
  • 15 Plank Jacks
  • 15 Triceps Dips
  • Run 400 meters
  • 12 Step-Ups with Leg Lift (each leg)
  • 12 Plank Jacks
  • 12 Triceps Dips
  • Run 200 meters
  • 9 Step-Ups with Leg Lift (each leg)
  • 9 Plank Jacks
  • 9 Triceps Dips

For more of a challenge, repeat the workout from the beginning (after the warm-up) as many times as you’d like. You can also start at the end of the workout with the set of 9 and work to the beginning, finishing with the set of 15 reps. It’s totally up to you! And, of course, you can always add or subtract distance to the running intervals depending on your fitness level. Happy sweating!

Now that spring is here, I just can’t get enough of the warm weather and sunshine! I seriously can’t wait to get outside for more outdoor runs and driveway workouts! 🙂 It’s finally time to ditch the long-sleeves and leggings (boo, winter layers) in exchange for lightweight performance tops, fun leggings, and some new running shoes to quite literally hit the ground running! Here are some details about my outfit pictured above:

  • Brooks Fremont Tank Top: This tank is perfect for keeping you cool on warm-weather runs. It’s lightweight with moisture-wicking fabric and perforated panels for even more ventilation. It’s not super fitted, but it gives you a little shape at the same time.
  • Brooks Greenlight Capris: I actually blogged about these running capris last week because they are THE BEST EVER. They fit really well with a wide, flat waist that slims and stays put. The waist hits semi-high on your waist, but still below your bellybutton, so there’s no need for a drawstring. The fabric is very Lululemon-esque (smooth, soft, and hugs in all the right places), so they’re definitely a favorite!
  • Brooks Juno Sports Bra: The Juno is my favorite sports bra for running because it’s lightweight, breathable, and doesn’t rub or chafe your skin. And, of course, I love its signature front-adjustable straps, which ensures the perfect fit (and it’s amazing for breastfeeding moms)!
  • Brooks Glycerin: My go-to running shoe! It’s definitely a sneaker that I can rely on for long-distance running. The Glycerin provides a good amount of support and stability, but it’s still a lightweight shoe. Love, love, love!

I also love, love, love how easy it is to shop Zappos.com. They offer FAST, FREE shipping and a 365-day return policy, which makes exchanges/returns a piece of cake, especially when you order a zillion pairs of gray top-siders. Ha! You can return them without a hassle!

Question of the Day

What’s your go-to workout when you’re traveling or away from your usual workout routine? 

How often do you shop at Zappos.com?

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Evernote Review: Your Digital Organization Hub

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
