Weekly Fashion Finds + Med Ball Running Workout

It involves a complex (3 movements = 1 rep), so it was a fun challenge mixed with some 800 meter runs. I did it yesterday – and, holy cow, I was a sweaty mess by the end! FYI: If you don’t have a medicine ball, you can use a slam ball, kettlebell, dumbbell, or any sort of weighted object. I mean, even a big rock would work! 🙂 I hope you like it!
