Workout #9

Image
Hey guys! I am officially back to the gym as of today. I did do a couple rope climbs and pull-ups yesterday but nothing more then that. So today requires some equipment so if you don't have it try to replace it with a body weight exercise. Also, if it's something you can't do or don't feel comfortable doing you can change or modify it. So here it is:  Warm up- 800 meter row or 100 jacks 15 thrusters 15 renegade rows 15 burpees 5 handstand push-ups 15 toe to bar 15 butterfly sit ups 15 box jumps  Repeat sets x3 Alright so there you go. If you have any questions please leave comments. Also if you don't know what an exercise is ask, you can also look it up on YouTube. Hope you enjoy! Follow me on Instagram: mcneely_girl

Race Day

Image
Hi guys! Sorry that is has been a little while since I have written up a post. I was gone all weekend without a computer and was attending my spartan event. It was my 2nd to last event for this season. Sad but excited to give my body the rest it needs so I can come back stronger next year. This race this past time gave me the assurance that I had made the right decision in choosing to only do sprint distances next year. This next race I have is in 2 weeks. I have about 5 days of working out hard, and then a couples days rest until I have to complete this 14+ mile race. Here is a little recap of this past weekend: My goals going into this race was to get in the top 12. Yeah that was kind of a high set goal considering I am still working on my injury, but I had set these goals and was hoping I could make it. I am trying to slowly start getting to the top 5. Right now, with my races this year, I have been lucky enough to make it within the top 20, so at the end of this season top 12 was...

Workout #6

Hey Guys! Hope you enjoyed my last workout...sorry I missed yesterday. I didn't have a chance to write one up between personal training, physical therapy and home work! But I have another one for you today and even though I take off on the weekend, I will write an extra one up for you tomorrow! I officially have 8 more days till my next race. I am running the Atlanta Super Spartan race and haven't run more then 800 meters in a few months....not good. This one will be 8+ miles and that makes me a little nervous with no running. I haven't run because I am trying to let my injury heal. Physical therapy twice a week for 6 weeks and they think that I'll be good...fingers crossed. Me getting heat ultrasound therapy done for my IT Band Issues  So anyways, here is your workout: Run 400 meters/Row 400 meters 20 kettlebell swings Run 400 meters/Row 400 meters 20 medicine ball cleans Run 400 meters/Row 400 meters 20 burpees Run 400 meters/Row 400 ...

Workout #5

Image
Hi Everyone! Hope you guys are feeling good today. I have had a pretty crazy week  so far but thankfully am still managing to work out on a daily basis. As you can see a lot of my workouts are mostly body weight exercises with occasional weights added in. I feel, for me personally that I benefit mostly from body weight exercises. But maybe its just because I hate lifting! I think its a great added benefit though and if its something that you enjoy then I would definitely incorporate that into your workout! So, today I have mixed in some body weight exercises with some running/rowing and a couple weight exercises added in.   So here it is: Warm up- 400 meter jog/400 meter row 50 burpees 1 min plank 50 walking lunges 25 wide pushups 25 narrow pushups 50 box jumps 2 minute mountain climbers with feet on the wall 35 burpee tuck jumps 40 sit ups 50 bench dips 50 jump rope 25 deadlifts 25 thrusters 400 meter jog/400 meter row W...

Workout #4

Image
Hi Everyone! Anybody do yesterdays workout? That ones tough. But here is another one: 55 jumping jacks 55 squats 55 jumping jacks 55 lunges 55 jumping jacks 55 pull-ups 55 jumping jacks 55 pushups 55 jumping jacks 55 sit-ups 55 jumping jacks 55 second plank 55 jumping jacks 55 burpees 55 jumping jacks 55 tuck jumps 55 jumping jacks 500 meter row So as you can see the magic number is 55 today. If you need to modify, please do. I suggest breaking these down and doing them in sets. There is different ways you can do that: You can focus on one exercise at a time and break it down. Ex: Break the first 55 jumping jacks into 3 sets, do 15 jumping jacks, 5 second break, 15 more jumping jacks, 5 second break and then finish off the last 25 jumping jacks. You can break it up however you'd like, if you can only do 5 at a time that's okay to.  And the other way is breaking each set into a number, so do 15 jumping jacks, 15 squats, 15 jumping jacks, 15 lunges, etc...

Hi Everyone, hope you had a great weekend and got plenty of rest. So here is today's workout: Sprint 400 meters/Row 400 meters 20 pullups Sprint 400 meters/Row 400 meters Medicine ball slams 15 each side Sprint 400 meters/Row 400 meters 30 plate loaded lunges Sprint 400 meters/Row 400 meters 30 burpees Sprint 400 meters/Row 400 meters 20 pushups Sprint 400 meters/Row 400 meters 20 jump squats Sprint 400 meters/Row 400 meters 20 heels to heaven Sprint 400 meters/Row 400 meters Side planks, hold for 30 sec/each side Sprint 400 meters/Row 400 meters Farmers carry 200 meters 30 mountain climbers 500 meter row I wrote up this workout last year, and will be trying it myself again today. If you don't have a spot to do a pull-up you can replace it with a renegade row with or without the weights, depending if you have access to weights or not. If you don't have plates for the lunges you can do them without. Farmers carry consists of carrying weights/dum...

Rest Days

Hi guys! So normally I try to take the weekends off. I usually go pretty hard during the week. I make sure I get at least 5 days of working out in. My current schedule right now is: Mondays- AM-my personal workout, PM physical therapy Tuesday- Get killed by my personal trainer Wednesday- AM- my personal workout, PM physical therapy Thursday- AM-my personal workout, PM occasional bouldering Friday- I take a fitness class at my gym  Saturday and Sunday are rest days for me unless I have a race If I have a race for the weekend I usually have one hard workout on Monday, the week of the race, and then taper off on the Wednesday before the race. Sometimes I take off on Tuesday if I'm preparing for a longer race. Its very important to get rested up in time and not overdo it before your race.  So.. today, relax, rest, stretch, foam roll. Take care of your body. It needs it! Stretching and foam rolling has become my go-to for the past few weeks. I am curr...

A little about me

Image
I wanted to create this blog for people that might need that extra boost when trying to come up with workouts or sometimes just can't simply think of a workout. I am going to try my best to get on here daily with a new workout written up, just for you! But a little about me first and how I got started into this: I have always been pretty athletic, especially in high school and college years. I played volleyball most my life up until I was about 18 years old. I played all through high school and went to North Greenville University on a volleyball scholarship. I played there for about a year until I decided to return home. Fast forward a couple years, I am 25 now and on my 24th birthday I decided to change my life for the better. In those few years, between 21 and 25 I had two kids. My son was 2 at the time I started this craziness, and my daughter was about 8 months. In May of 2016 I had lost track over the years, and decided it was time to make a change. It was the week after my ...
