Glutes on Fiya

How sterotypical is it that I work on glutes/legs on Humpday AKA Wednesday? That's just the way the protein cookie crumbles. For a few weeks now, I've done at home workouts and that's fine by me! I feel like it saves time and if I focus, I think I still get a good workout in!

Equipment I use: Dumbbells (5lb, 10lb, 35lb, 45lb), and resistance bands

Here's the circuit workout I did Wednesday, August 17!

Circuit 1:

  • 10 Dumbbell Deadlifts (I used 45lbs)
  • 20 Crab walk and squat (Challenge Options: add resistance band around legs and/or add a dumbbell, hold it at chest level and squat with it each step)
  • 15 each leg dumbbell kickbacks
Repeat circuit 3x

Circuit 2:
  • 20 plie squats (I used 35-45lbs)
  • 15 Hip thrusts plus hold for 30 seconds (I used my couch to rest my upper body on and used a 35lb dumbbell to add weight)
  • 15 each leg lying hip abduction (Optional challenge: add resistance band or hold a weight on top of your leg)
Repeat circuit 3x

Circuit 3:
  • 15 each leg split squats (I used 10lb dumbbells and did one set elevated)
  • 15 step ups (I used my couch but you could also use a stepstool, step, or chair and hold dumbbells for an extra challenge)
  • 10 each leg pistol squats 
Repeat circuit 3x

Final Round!
  • 15 single leg glute bridges on each leg (Hold dumbbells on hips for extra challenge)
  • 30 walking lunges (Dumbbells for extra challenge)
  • 15 each leg forward to reverse lunge 
  • 15 single leg glute bridges on each leg 
  • 30 walking lunges
  • 15 each side side lunges with dumbbells
  • 15 single leg glute bridges on each leg
  • 30 walking lunges
  • 20 jump lunges!
Phew! That was a workout and a half!

What's your favorite glute workout? Do you prefer working out at the gym or at home?

Product Review: Tru Fru

Image
If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition. The fruit is then coated in rich chocolate for a snack that is both nutritious and indulgent tasting! You don't have to choose between a nutritious snack or a tasty treat. You can have both in one. That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with

Must Read List

Have you been spending more time at home? Have you finished your entire list on Netflix? If the answer to these is Yes, you might be looking for some ways to fill your time. I personally love to read, especially while laying out in the sunshine. So I thought I would share some of my all time, must read books! I'm a fan of fiction so these books are all fiction! Longtime Favorite:  A Separate Peace I read this book as a freshman in high school and it never left me. The emotions are so piercing and the story so unique that I never forgot it.  Classic:  The Picture of Dorian Gray Thought provoking, emotive, and relatable to the core - this timeless classic will have you turning pages.  Female Must Read:  The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath captures a character that reached deep within my soul. It touches on mental health, feminism and more all while being extremely readable, imo.  Lived Up to the H ype:  The Fault in Our Stars John Green is a master story-teller and this book lived up to the hy
