Hello and Happy Tuesday!
I tried something a little different for my workout yesterday, and it went so well that I have to share it with you guys.
While browsing over Bloglovin’, I stumbled upon a no equipment needed workout from POPSUGAR that immediately sparked my interest.
Moves to tone the unforgiving bikini revealing areas that I can do absolutely anywhere? I’m in!
With my best furry workout buddy by my side, I completed the following circuit right in our front yard.
I absolutely love finding new workouts that incorporate different and new-to-me versions of some of my go-to moves. You can find out more details about each of those exercises if some of them are new to you too.
My new favorite is definitely the superwoman push-up!
I completed the series of circuits within thirty minutes and took Roadie inside for a minute to cool down. This is when I started stalking Pinterest for more workouts similar to this one.
Just in case you’re interested, check ’em out:
• Bikini Body Workout via Tone It Up + Lauren Conrad
• Bikini Plyo Workout via POPSUGAR
• Dynamic Yoga Sequence to Build Your Best Bikini Body via POPSUGAR
• POP PILATES Bikini Bootcamp via Blogilates
• Bikini Body MAX BURN Pyramid via Tone It Up
I plan to turn to all of them while we are traveling later this week!
After we both hydrated and I changed my shoes, I took Roadie back outside for a quick jog around the neighborhood. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous lately! Freaking hot… but still gorgeous.
And on a side note, since surviving the last Antarctic freeze that took over Michigan this past winter, you won’t ever hear me complain about it being “too hot” again. Take it from me… sweating is a privilege, ya’ll.
Three miles later, we made our final loop home and I could tell Roadie was done. I included a lot of walking breaks into the last mile, since he’s not quite used to the heat yet. Poor little fella… or dinosaur, whatever.
That one went under the #manyfacesofroadie file for sure!
As soon as we got cleaned up, I went straight for the blender for some refuel and refreshment.
In my smoothie:
1 scoop vanilla Designer Whey sustained energy whey protein powder
1 cup Strawberry Banana Greek yogurt
frozen raspberries
hemp seeds
almond milk
One of the best post-workout, post-smoothie snack plates to date quickly followed.
Sliced cucumbers, mini peppers, hummus, and 1 1/2 hard-boiled eggs.
I have a feeling you’ll see a lot of these in the future!

Questions of the Day
• What is your favorite type of at-home or travel workout?
• Do you ever get embarrassed of neighbors seeing you workout outside?
Ha. I’m pretty sure my neighbors think I’m crazy. Especially when I play my music through a portable speaker and get all into it. I don’t play it too loud, though because I do get a bit embarrassed.
Why don’t I ever see other people workout out in their front or back yards?

Skyler did great walking into KINDERGARTEN with a big smile on his face this morning. I, however, was a bit of a mess on our walk home. 🥹
It’s wild how fast these 5 years with him have gone … 7 since we moved to NYC and into our apartment, dreaming of the day our kids would someday go to the *awesome* school right down our block. 🏫
That day is today, and I still don’t believe it — feeling allll of the emotions and thanking God for placing us here and for being able to trust His timing through the journey. 🫶🏼 #hbshinnyc
SO proud of you, SK - you are going to rock your first year at your “big boy school” - WE LOVE YOU !! 🩵👑](https://lifeinleggings.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)

I LOVE Nike Training Club workouts for at home or travel workouts. You can select the intensity, focus, and duration.
I’ve heard great things about the Nike Training Club. Thanks for the reminder to check it out!
I’m all about no-equipment, do anywhere type of workouts. I’ve been loving those PopSugar workouts recently. They don’t look like anything too special, but they always leave me feeling more tired than I expected. Another website you may want to check out is FitnessBlender.com. It’s a HUGE library of at home, little to no equipment workouts.
Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll have to check it out!
That post-workout snack looks amazing! I don’t really have a yard so can’t do outdoor workouts at my house. Probably a good thing because I would likely be embarassed
Ha, I used to even do workouts out on my balcony in Orlando. I’m sure more than a handful of people have become entertained by my antics!
I had several at home ab workouts that I really like. I prefer doing my abs at home 🙂
I love FitSugar workouts!!
I like doing Blogilates or Tone It Up videos at home. I don’t have a yard since I live in an apartment in the city so my neighbors can’t see me workout at home. lol
I love that you put hemp seeds into your smoothie!
Def looking these up while I’m on vacation! Thanks girl!
Blogilates and Tone It Up have great workouts!! I get super self conscious working outside, but it’s so much more fun than being inside!! 🙂
My favorite at home workout are HIT workouts. Burpees, jump rope, jumping jacks, etc to get my heart rate up then mix in some lunges, pushups, dips, etc.
