Always looking to change up my routine...

So here's the first addition of a good workout that will get your heart-rate up, and along with other ones I add, you can mix and match cardio with different muscle-groups.

This is what I'm doing today.  I'll start out with the cardio, then I'll do the legs, and repeat until I can't go anymore! 

The nice thing about these workouts, is that they use all muscle groups.  Notice that there are exercises that use both the arms, abs, and legs.  This allows you to "focus" on one core group, but use all the muscles in your body.

I always recommend timing yourself.  Because if you do this workout a second time, you can see if/how much you've improved!

The reason for this workout is because I'm having potato soup/sourdough bowl for dinner tonight!

My love of food

Ok, so I love to eat good food and so I workout.  I'm not lucky enough to have the "good" genes to be able to eat whatever I want and stay thin.  So I literally work my tail off so that I can eat the yummy food that I see.

Part of that is also finding healthy food that tastes good too.  Some of the recipes that I come across can't be pinned to Pintrest...so I decided to start a blog that puts them together so that I can find them.

So this blog will not only have recipes and photos of good food but will also have workouts and inspirations.

So here is the first recipe...I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds yummy!
