Links to workouts:

Workout #1 

Steady state: 30 minutes moderate cardio, or take a class you love

Energizing stretch

Hill workout

Bonus HIIT: 15 minutes (30 seconds HARD, 30 seconds rest x 15 rounds). Do anything to get your heart rate up: spin, run, bike, plyometric moves, quick bodyweight exercises, or a brisk walk). For my beginner friends and pregnant mamas, skip the interval portion and just do an extra 15 minutes of easy to moderate steady state cardio.

    Dang, I really got my butt whooped today. I’m so drained I might need a short nap, haha.

  16. Cayla on July 12, 2016 at 5:39 pm

    Yesterday I did a row + abs circuit and today I walked, did the strength portion of workout #1 and stretched!

  17. Faye Holloway on July 12, 2016 at 5:50 pm

    Today was the first day back in the gym after travel and bronchitis. I felt like the new kid in school, but so happy to get up and at it again. Did easy bike routine to gauge my fitness and tomorrow I’m ready for WO1….

  18. Allison T. on July 13, 2016 at 11:40 am

    I’ve done Workout #1 twice and then 20 minutes Hills on the elliptical. Another mama friend and I squeezed in a long stroller walk for our steady state yesterday too 🙂 I’m so excited for this shape up!

  19. Jennifer on July 13, 2016 at 1:28 pm

    Did Spin class at 5:15 a.m. — started with a 10 min warm up on the elliptical and finished with 5 min on the stairclimber.

  20. Vicki L. on July 14, 2016 at 7:47 pm

    I took it a little easier today since I donated blood yesterday, but it still got in the workout!

  21. Jennifer on July 15, 2016 at 12:08 pm

    Spin class & mini ab/cardio finisher!

  22. guest on July 17, 2016 at 5:59 am

    Discovered your shape ups this winter and love that you deliver effective workouts in 20-40-min durations! I have been going back to do the workouts on your archives. I just started a new job and have found it hard to keep up with my exercise routine with a new commute and longer hours, but this week, I managed to sub 2 steady states and your Workout 4 barre stength video from last year’s SSU. Looking forward to completing this year’s even if it’s all out of order and takes me longer to get it done. Thanks for putting these together!

  23. Vicki L. on July 17, 2016 at 6:36 pm

    No Nike+ data for my run today. I had to switch my run today because I worked yesterday morning, but when I went to bed last night there was 5% chance of rain during the window I would be out. Haha, yeah. We ended up turning around between miles 3 and 4 because my dad heard thunder twice, and then it started sprinkling a bit but nothing really noticeable.
    Thankfully, we were almost back to the gazebo less than 2 miles from home when it really started to downpour. I took shelter there, and my dad volunteered to ride back and pick me up in the car. While I waited I jogged in place and ran between the two stone pillars in the shelter, actually managing to get in over another mile that way. 🙂 In order to still get in the 3 miles I missed out on today, I’ll likely just tack on an extra mile or so a couple days this week.

  24. Jennifer on July 18, 2016 at 7:05 am

    Saturday – WO #3 and walk

  25. Jennifer on July 18, 2016 at 7:13 am
