Sprints baby!!!

Today's home workout!


Where there's a will , there's a way!!! I felt like a bit of a challenge today.  Normally I do NOT sprint, not a fan of running, but decided to step it up , since I do not have a gym at my disposal this week. 












Here's the breakdown. !  .........Farm Fresh! (lol... yea I know, not funny)


70m Uphill Sprints x 10  (20sec rest)


Wide squat, very low and deep into glutes , come up onto your calves.  Contract really good.  For this I used a water bottle that equalled 5kg. 
3 sets of 20


Splint lunges of a stair.  Use the water bottle for this one too.  (quite challenging!) Slow movement, contract very good!!!
3 sets of 20 per leg


Pistol squats.  Killer !!!
3 sets of 8 per leg


This workout took me around 40 minutes to complete.  Very high heart rate! Loved it!
Do some gooooooooood stretching after for 15minutes.


Have fun girls!

South African vacation

Hello my friends!


I am having a great time in SA.  


I have been doing really good sticking to diet and training. I have added some extra intermediate cardio sessions. urg, I hate these, but the are important. 


Regarding meals, I am trying as far as possible to stick to lean meats, eggs, veggies and very low carb.  The reason being, you ALWAYS gain weight on holidays, even if you try your best not to. ! My challenge is to see if I can do this holiday-thing without adding the pounds! 

I have done 2 photoshoots while here.  The picture in the corner is done by Dewald Kirsten. I look forward to the rest, that one was just a teazer! 


So, ladies, hope you are all doing great, eating clean, getting lean? 

Will post some intervals this week!
