It is Fit Friday again! What a great day for me to get reacquainted with my computer, you, and the world. I know I have been pretty quiet the last couple of weeks, but if you could see how adorable this baby is when she is all snuggled up in my arms you would totally get it. My body is dreaming of workouts and my belly is craving healthy food still. So Ruthie, from Cooking with Ruthie is here with a yummy salad recipe to start off our Fit Friday.
Pear, Blackberry, and Ricotta Spinach Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette is beautiful combination of savory and sweet!
Y'all know I've been loving my Homemade Ricotta Cheese recipe. If you haven't had a chance to whip up a batch then give it try this week. You'll be in love with too!
Pear, Blackberry, and Ricotta Spinach Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette has a beautiful depth of flavors with a subtle lemon finish that will leave everyone in awe of it's deliciousness. It's really so very lovely.
Well, after a wonderfully crazy couple of weeks it is time for me to start coming back to the land of the living and getting on track again....with a few things at least. This yummy salad recipe will be a great addition to getting my nutrition back on track. I am not quite up to working out much yet, just some easy walks at this point in time, but I am getting some great workouts collected for my clients and classes. I have been having some fun with these workouts because I am eager for some fun workouts myself.
For those of you that are new to working out, or even just new to me, remember you can always modify to your abilities. You have to learn to listen to your body while still pushing yourself. So, let's get it going!
Today is all body weight exercises. Which also means that you can complete this workout at home, which is definitely a bonus for me these days.
Round 1:
25 Squats
25 Pushups
25 Situps
2 min of Jump Roping or Running Stairs
Round 2:
20 Alt. Forward Lunges
20 Dips
20 Windmill Situps
2 min of Jump Roping or Running Stairs
Round 3:
15 Squats to Calf Raises
15 Supermans
15 Planks with Center Hops
2 min of Jump Roping or Running Stairs
And you are done! Push hard and finish with a sweaty smile!
Have a beautiful Fit Friday!!
Much Love and Peace~
