Squatember Workout
Hi friends! How’s the morning going? So glad it’s humpday!
Yesterday, we were given a wonderful surprise: RAIN all day, and it was amazing. It cooled everything down, and while it’s long gone (more humid and heat headed our way), it was a nice respite from the sauna haha.
Last night, I taught a fun (packed!) barre class,
(came home at took this pic for IG for some of my fave prone modifications)
and made salmon burgers for dinner again. We had them last week -a Blue Apron recipe- and they were so good, we decided to add them to this week’s menu.
Another awesome meal: an at-home remake of the party salad from last weekend. Spinach, pear, feta, turkey, pecans and fig balsamic vinaigrette.
And a trip to Home Goods to scheme of the decor I would have if I had full reign of the house. 😉 (The Pilot disagrees with my need for multiple Buddhas.)
Why is Home Goods so good?
Today I have an all-new workout for you! Since it is Squatember and everything, I put together a total body workout with a squat challenge buy-in and some squat jumping intervals to blast your heart rate in between sets. This is a great cardio and strength combo, and perfect way to add some pizazz to your next total body workout.
As always, check with a doctor before making any fitness or nutrition changes. Honor your body and modify as needed.
Here it is if you’d like to give it a try!
*For the strength exercises in the circuit, you’ll do 10 reps unless otherwise indicated
(If you are following the September workout calendar, here is your squat challenge #4 for today!)
Links to exercises and form cues:
What are you doing for today’s workout? What’s your favorite way to add some cardio blasts into your routine?
If you could decorate your house ANY way you wanted, what would you do? Mine would be a mixture of Buddha statues, salt lamps, antique furniture and Dia de los Muertos style skeletons.
Have a very happy Wednesday!
xoxo
Gina

Yay for teaching barre! 🙂 And I love the Squatember workout sequence. My workout today was Pilates jumpboard.
Dragged myself out of bed this morning to get BODYPUMP in and out of the way – and already feeling the squat track! One of the barre studios here in Minnesota does ‘haute hybrid’ with cardio blasts built in, which I really like for an extra kick.
Today’s workout consists of teaching a Pilates Sculpt class. It’s similar to barre, which I love!
Home Goods is so dangerous…I redo my entire house every time I walk inside!
And…I made the pumpkin bars last night and we loved them! 🙂
yay, so happy you enjoyed them!
I always think it’s funny how Home Goods has so many buddhas. Now when I see them I will think of you. Send the rain to Arizona we need it!!!
hmmm not sure what my workout will be today, I might go run some mountains, especially because it rained yesterday so it’ll be a lot cleaner!!
If I had my way, my apt/house would be decorated in a Cape Cod/New England style, beachy but classic. not a lot of clutter…. Classic Beacon Hill, Martha’s Vineyard style haha. I miss home!
Those salmon burgers look amazing! Can you share the basic ingredients?
sure! salmon, fresh oregano, garlic, shallot, salt, pepper, panko bread crumbs (i used almond meal the second time) and a drizzle of olive oil
I would have all white furniture that was impervious to red wine spills, and the rest antiques from north Africa.
I just did my first barre class and it was everything i imagined, my muscles are screaming and i can’t wait to go back! I now see the obsession:=
My home would be clear of all the clutter i can’t seem to get rid of, sniff sniff.
so happy that you loved it!
I am getting ready to go to the gym!!!! Treadmill run today. I love homegoods, I like the rustic meets modern look. I actually need to go to Homegoods today too. Have a great day and thanks for the squat stuff.

Today I did a stroller barre class and it was so fun!! Going to check out squatember!
The barre with Bella pic is too cute! I would love to have some house plants, but sadly my brown thumb always kills them off. Today’s workout is the 21 Day Fix Lower Fix!
I love to add tabatas to my long bike rides to get my heart rate up!
If I had all the money in the world, my house would look like it was straight out of the Restoration Hardware catalog. Why does that store have to be so expensive?!
their stuff is AMAZING
Way to go on the packed barre class!!
My dream house would have grey, pink, and white in various patterns, prints, and textures. Love chevron
Loved this! I did it with the one song workouts and I’m a little scared for leg wrath tomorrow.
yessssss. amazing job!
Pinning that workout, looks awesome! I would decorate with ALL the plants ALL over the place. I’ve always wanted a conservatory room like in the old English houses, just filled to the brim with plants of all kinds, a nice chair to read in, surrounded by green :)… other than that 1/2 minimalist 1/2 warm and cozy…. if that is possible haha
