More from my 30 day challenge (please feel free to call this a 90 day challenge since I haven't posted about it in forever) (; I am so sorry I haven't been updating you on this. To be honest I wasn't doing everything I KNOW I can do to stick with this so I decided no better time then the present (and the new year) to get started again.
In this post I'll be sharing what I love to do at home to workout my legs.
I do not own a gym pass so when I workout it is either outside or in the comfort of my own home.
To give you all a brief update, I did/do play soccer. I am most confident about my legs because throughout the years and years of soccer they've never really been a problem for me. But this year I am looking to define all the muscles in my body and so my legs can always improve.
Leg day is my favorite! I tend to do it about 2 times per week because I enjoy it so much. I love feeling sore the next morning and feeling like I can barley walk. I don't know if it's just me but it makes me feel like it's working!
So lets jump into it.
Stair jumps.
I do these to get my heart rate going after I do a warm up run.
These are simple, use a stair and jump up and down.
Chair lifts
These are pretty much the same concept as the stair jumps. Up and down (do not jump because you will probably die!) Ha. Anyways, you start on either side and lift yourself up and down then switch to the other side.
Squat jumps
These are a little hard to explain so please forgive me in advance. I start off with my feet shoulder width apart, and then I jump from one leg to the next. Putting the leg in the air behind the leg I am using to jump with. Keep your knees bent and you will feel the burn!
Calf Raises.
Pretty sure everyone knows how to do these, I use a stair so it makes it harder.
I also turn my feet in and out to work different muscles.
These are the basics for me and I hope you find them useful in your home. More from the 30 day challenge coming soon!
Love Always,

Good afternoon everyone! I just want to start off this blog
by saying THANK YOU!! Thank you to everyone who spends a little time out of
their day to check out my blog. It means the world to me and I never expected
to have as many views as I do. I appreciate it so much!!
Well getting back to what this post is about, my personal 30
day workout challenge. I asked on good old FB if anyone would want to see a 30
workout challenge and I had some positive feedback so here it is! I wanted to
do this for myself. I love seeing everyone so hyped about getting in shape and
being toned and I thought heck, I want to see my body in the best possible shape
it can be but I just needed a little extra help. So I thought, what better way
than to post on my blog and be accountable for getting in shape.
My main goal is to tone up my body and gain some of the
muscle I lost after not playing soccer, back. I want to see my body in the best
possible shape it can be so I am giving myself 30 days to get it done. I will
transform my eating habits; spend that extra hour making a healthy meal and
workout. I do not own a gym pass so everything I do will be done in the inside
of my home or the good old outdoors. (:
Each week I will post an update picture, my weekly meals and
give you an insight into my workout plan. Let me know if you'd like me to add
anything else!
So here is the beginning of my journey. Week 1:
Here is my body as of week 1.
My journey begins on Monday September 22, 2014. Lets do this!!
My goals for the upcoming week include:
1. Focus on my arms
2. Prepare & pack lunches for work
3. Workout at LEAST 4 days
Thank you all for checking in! Look out for my everyday hair later this week!
Love Always,
The Crazy Collards
