A Great [and quick] Yoga Workout!

Yoga by Candace is one of my favorite yoga channels on YouTube. I follow her on Instagram, liked her on FB, and am obsessed when she puts out a new yoga video. This is one of lasts weeks videos that I have been meaning to share with you for almost that long.

The video itself is not long, but the workout you will get from it is great! There is bum toning, mid section tightening, and muscle elongating. We will be traveling this weekend, and I fully plan on doing this routine while in our hotel room.

Happy Thursday!

10-Minute Bubble Butt Workout

I recently read an article talking about the most popular plastic surgeries in 2014. Apparently, the demand for bum lifts and implants has sky rocketed 35% in the past few years. Out of these, the most common request is to remove the fat below the bum so it has a more rounded look. The good news about this is that working that area can save you thousands in surgery costs and pain. Yep, there are some pin-point moves that will work the area under your bum- reducing fat and increasing the overall roundness of the bum.

One set of this workout will take 10-minutes to complete. Of course, you can always do more if you wish. Although I love workouts that do not include weights, this one will work best with a set of 8-10 pound weights in each hand. If weights are not an option for you, I would recommend using a resistance band in its place. No, the workout will not be quite the same, but it will be a whole lot better than nothing at all.

This Week in Workouts: Recovery

So, this post was meant to go out yesterday and when I found out it did not (the classic am/pm mix-up), there were two choices... The first was to say goodbye to the weekend round-up and post Monday's post today. The second was to post Sunday's post Monday and Monday's post tomorrow. Obviously, the second sounded better and you can expect the complete Barry's Bootcamp overview tomorrow instead of today.

Watching YouTube and reading blogs, it is amazing how fast illness travels. People in the UK and Japan have had the same cold/flu that the hubs and I have had in Florida. Thankfully, we are both able to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Most of this week was a mix of sleeping instead of working out and yoga. Even though there was lots of stretching flows throughout the week, it was not until Thursday that I actually got any real yoga time in. Then was Barry's Bootcamp on Saturday which I am all too happy to say we survived, sick and all!

The picture above are my cousins Jessica (on the left) and Alicia (on the right) before and after our boot camp. Even though I want to leave most of the Barry's talk for tomorrow, I will say that it is a fantastic workout that left me sore from the minute I left the class until now.

Sunday: Aerial Yoga at a new studio that I absolutely loved and am thinking of getting my Yoga cert at!

Monday: Rest day/ soft yoga flow

Tuesday: Rest Day

Wednesday: Rest

Thursday: 10-minute Bridge Workout followed by this beginner Ali K workout that was great when you are sick.

Friday: This oldie but goodie ab workout that I still do and love.

Saturday: Barry's Bootcamp followed by some serious dancing the night away at my cousin's wedding. Really, I am not sure which made me more sore.

This week I am hoping to get in a lot more kettlebell workouts and at least one more round of aerial yoga. This kettlebell workout is one that looks pretty great!
