So, There is NO good filter for a post HIIT early morning workout selfie.. trust me, Iโ€™ve tried them all ๐Ÿ˜‚ But I really wanted to make a post that highlighted a few quick benefits you can get from doing a 30 minute HIIT workout twice a week: 1) even though itโ€™s a 30 minute workout, you will continue to burn calories for hours after the workout ends ๐Ÿ™Œ 2) getting your heart rate into the anaerobic zone helps to keep your heart strong and healthy 3) HIIT workouts stimulates your HGH which can slow down the age of process and increase fat loss within your body. I mean, who doesnโ€™t want that?!? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ There are definitely more benefits to doing HIIT training regularly, but these are some of my favorite reasons for staying motivated (even though some days it may feel like 30 min of body torture - I promise you, once the 30 minutes is over, you will be obsessed with the high of completing the workout!). So long story short: get up, push yourself to finish and your body will thank you for it! .

Did you know that a short 5 minutes of stretching a day can not only benefit muscles, but helps you mentally as well? Spending some quiet time in a stretch session can help calm your mind, work as a stress reliever, help with posture and fight off tension headaches (just a few of the benefits!) ๐Ÿ™Œ ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Post leg day (๐Ÿคฎ) plank time! Leaving this workout with 2 deep thoughts ๐Ÿง 1) I hate leg day, but I still try to get a 30 min session in at least once or twice a week. Sometimes I feel like Iโ€™m the one that DOESNโ€™T want a bigger butt? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚ 2) I cannot wait for our basement to be done being built out. Iโ€™m in serious need of my own workout space. The Barbie dolls set up next to me and my kid agree! 2 week to go!
