Motivational thought:
Nutrition tip of the day:
Minimize the amount of protein you eat BEFORE working out. Protein can make you feel bloated or cause stomach cramps while exercising because it is a larger molecule and takes longer to digest. Drink your protein drinks AFTER working out.
This workout looks AWESOME and I am FINALLY going to attempt the handstand. I never made up the “Evolution” workout with the first one and didn’t attempt the one last week when I was traveling (I wanted to try it in private first!).
I’m really excited for the second half of this program. I have been slacking SO MUCH on the eating for the last few weeks and sabotaging all of the hard work I put into my workouts. It’s time to GO BIG or GO HOME.
I’m excited for the second half. I need to stay on track (even though it’s hard with summer BBQ’s, vacations, etc.) with my eating! Working out is no problem. I’ve been making healthy choices on the go so I hope to meet my goals by the time this camp is finished!
Oh, and the two minute handstands were killer!
I’m being serious when I say I can’t do the handstand… and it bugs the crap out of me. I just can’t get up there!
Girl, I’m right there with you. I sadly couldn’t convince myself to do this workout after work today because I decided I couldn’t emotionally handle not being able to do the hand stand.
I’m traveling for work this whole week. My hotel gym doesn’t open til 6:30 AM. You better believe this will be my Wednesday morning workout. I LOVE every workout on the list!!!
Those 2-minute handstands are TOUGH. I did the circuit 3 times, and by that last round, I was having to break the handstands into 30 second increments. Whoowhee!
