Fun Workout Routines







 









Traditional triathlons (running, swimming, biking) are totally fun, but we put a new spin on the classic trio. Our faves team up for a total body workout and are a blast. Don’t have a ton of time? Do 10 minutes of each for a half hour sesh. Keep reading…and then get out there and give it a tri!







If you wanna take it easy:

Whether you just got back from soccer camp or don’t wanna exert yourself in the heat, here’s a low-key workout that’ll leave you feeling relaxed. 




The Workout: 

15 minutes of yoga --Grab a yoga book from the library and check out some ahh-worthy poses. 15 minutes walking --Walk around a park or your neighborhood. Go in a diff direction than your normal routine, to change up your perspective!  15 minutes hula hooping   --Bust out the hoop and give it a whirl. It’s great for your abs—and is totally fun! 



If you’re a gadget girl: You’re constantly on your iPhone and totally connected at all times. Our exercises keep you plugged in—but def get you moving. 


The Workout:

20 minutes running with your iPod --Make an upbeat playlist and get to it! 20 minutes of cardio on your Wii  --Check out a game, like Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009, to work up a sweat 20 minute cool down with a Pilates DVD --We like the ones from Acacialifstyle.com—they’re tough, but the instructors explain the moves thoroughly.  


If you’re working out with your friend: Having a bud along can help you get through a tough workout. Cheer each other on and give it your all for one hour. 



The Workout:


20 minutes playing your fave sport --Go for 1 vs. 1 basketball, playing catch in your backyard, kicking around a soccer ball, challenging each other to a tennis match—whatever you heart!  20 minute workout on the track  --Think: sprint for 100 yards, walk for 100 yards, jog for 100 yards. Anything that’ll get you moving, big time. 20 minute ab blast  --Planks, crunches, bicycles—all of your fave super-tough moves for your middle. 



If you’re a total outdoors girl: There’s nothing like Mama Nature in the summer. Get outside and turn the woods into your playground. 



The Workout  20 minutes hiking or walking on a trail --Bring water and a friend (or Fido) and scope out a local park 20 minutes running on a hill  --Alternate between sprinting, jogging, running with high knees, butt-kicks, etc. 20 minutes of our do-anywhere moves --Find somewhere with a view and get going! 

My Skin Care Routine

Today, I am going to blog about my skin care routine. I definitely recommend you should try it because my skin has been fabulous ever since I started this routine! This is what I do:


MORNING:


In the morning, I wash my face with Clean & Clear's Morning Burst. It makes your face feel, soft fresh, it wakes you up in the morning and it smells amazing! :) 




After washing my face I use Clean & Clear's Dual Action Oil - Free mosturizer. It softens your skin and helps prevent breakouts. 








NIGHT: 

At bedtime, the only thing I use is Neutrogena's Deep Clean relaxing nightly cleanser. It washes any oil, makeup, or dirt off of your face, thererfore keeping it clean and zit free. :)




 










*Every once in a while I will make a homemade facial for a special treat to my skin :)








Hope you enjoyed!
