Feel the burn 2

Here is your hump day workout guys!

OMG all of my energy is zapped today, i fell asleep when i got in from work for 2 hours hence why this workout is coming to you a little late...but better late than never...so if you haven't worked out today this is sure to give you a great cardio burn as well as building some lean muscle which we all know is essential for burning fat right?


can you see a resemblance to cardio burn 1? thats because Steve follows they same format but changes up the exercises each week which i really enjoy because i know what to expect...so all of Steve's workouts will be collected into the titled 'cardio burn' :)

So a couple of notes....i changed a few of the exercises so that this can be done anywhere....remember on a kettlebell swing you can just use anything that you can get a good grip on...switch arms after 30 seconds.

For chest flys lie on your back arms extended to the sides with a weight in each hand, then lift both arms up to meet each other directly over your chest (arms still extended)

I this hurts you as much as it hurt me :) I also did 30 minutes of spin after so if you want to go completely beast mode why not go for a run/powerwalk/bike ride :)

ENJOY...that body isn't going to happen by itself ;)

lots of hardwork and dedication

My color run experience

Well I have just discovered blogger on my phone which means I can reach you anywhere any time...how awesome ;) 

Any way so in a previous post I told you that I would be doing the color run...and I did! In 31 degree heat...it was extremely sweaty but such a great experience!


At every km there are volunteers with what I can only describe as ketchup bottles full of this powder and they squirt/chuck it on you...such a fun run. They don't give you a time because its meant to be for fun with no pressure so would be a great first race if you are new to running/fitness! 

It was crazy...15000 people all wanting to be coloured in like a rainbow and I got extremely covered in fact It won't come out of my blond hair...so girls (and boys) with blond hair don't be a douche like me wearing your hair down trying to make the headband look a bit cooler put your hair up and possibly wear a hat! Unless you don't mind having pink hair...I mind because I have to graduate on Thursday!

 I loved this sign because I thought it mimicked the title of my blog


And at the end they give you a pa let of colour and at the stage they have a finishers festival...they do a count down and then you all chuck colour into the sky and create a rainbow cloud...pure brilliance! 

I was also given coconut water for the first time, it's extremely good for you a d a perfect way to hydrate naturally with flavour! I will def be investing in some in the near future! 

So that was my experience! Have you done a color run? Would you like to do one? Let me know!! 

Lots of hardwork & dedication
