Hi!
Man, has it been a LONG week or what? Thankfully, it has also been a very fast-moving week filled with both work and play. I have a recap of the weekend coming tomorrow because, like I’ve been saying, I feel like I never talk to you all anymore! Expected in college though, right? We’ll all float on alright.
Anyway, here are the workouts that I squeezed into this past week’s busy schedule!
Sunday
Rest
Monday
5 min. stair master warmup + leg workout
3 supersets of each:
- 10 pistol squats each leg + 30 side jump lunges
- 12 Bulgarian split squats each leg (25#) + 12 split jack lunges
- 12 deadlifts (80#) + 16 jump lunges
- 12/10 hamstring curls (70#/80#) + 20 surfer jumps
My butt was not as utterly sore on the days following this workout, so maybe that means I’m getting stronger?!…
Tuesday
5 min. adaptive motion trainer warmup + 5 rounds of Jess’ 1000 rep workout
…But I was still pretty sore, so 500 reps instead of 1000 was PLENTY. Jess is a badass partially due to her intense workouts (partially because she’s a supermom), so I was quite smoked with this one.
Wednesday
Rest
Thursday
Row-burpee workout from Lindsay + 8 minute ab tabata

Ab tabata:
4 rounds of 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest
- weighted Russian twists
- weighted toe touches
- modified v-ups
- spiderman planks
That burpee and rowing workout wiped me out. ‘Twas awesome.
Friday
Some random jump roping and pushups/burpees at the park
I wasn’t feelin’ a real workout on Friday, so I just headed to the outdoor fitness park to just play around. I practiced double unders, did some pushup variations, and some burpee variations!
Burpee “box” jump-overs (trying not to slip on the slightly damp bench and getting another hole in my body)
Saturday
5 min. stair master warmup + leg workout
3 sets of each:
- 10-12 pistols each leg + 20 180-degree squat jumps
- 10 leg press (90#) + 10 split jack lunges + 20 side jump lunges
- 15 sumo deadlift high pulls (30#) + 25 sumo squat pulses
- 10-12 hamstring curls (80#/70#) + 20 jump lunges
I’m typing this on Saturday, and I have a feeling my inner thighs are going to be sore tomorrow/today (Sunday) from those sumo squats. I haven’t danced ballet in forever, so that second position plié has not been visited in a while.
I hope you all have a beautiful Sunday! It has been gloomy alllll darn week here, but I think the weather should be sunny and bright today! Perfect for the Lord’s Day 🙂
So tell me:
What was your favorite workout this week?
Burpees or rowing?
How’s the weather?
Those look like some killer workouts! I’ve been loving jogging down to my school’s fitness center and then creating circuit/strength workouts and jogging back. And I really love rowing!
Haha the weather in Chicago is a little hit-or-miss. It’s slowly getting chillier, but some days still feel perfect and sunny and gorgeous, while others are gray and drizzly and depressing.
That’s awesome, Ellen! I would jog to the fitness center since it’s so far, but I usually have a backpack with me haha.
I feel like Chicago and Boston have similar temperaments when it comes to weather 😉
Looks great Alison!! Hope you’re having an awesome weekend:)
