Winter Shape Up 2015: Week 4
Is it really the last week of Winter Shape Up? I canโt even believe it; itโs gone by wayyy too quickly! Thank you again to all of you for making this such a fun challenge, and for cheering each other along the way. We still have 6 days to crush it! Letโs finish with the same intensity that we started with. Even if you didnโt follow the plan, maybe try one of this weekโs workouts to see how you like it, and maybe youโll be able to join in the fun for summer. If youโre sad to see it come to an end, remember that you can repeat the program to make it an 8-week plan.

Today’s workout: Bosu Ball meets the video of Insanity’s 30Max plus 10Max abs = 45 minute workout at the gym today. I was a sweaty mess leaving the gym and headed home to work remotely so no one had to smell me
Today was supposed to be a rest day, but I ended up doing barre workout #3. I saving wo #2 for this weekend.
Body said rest today, so i just did some light stretching. Ready to get back at it tomorrow!
active rest day – walked 3 quick miles on the treadmill!
My workout today was 3 rounds of WO1. My balance was much better withy the one legged dead lift – whoop!
Workout #1 today times 3 = ) It’s a fun one!
Rest day!
busy busy day today! liked the rest
Today was yoga day for me!
Did workout #1 3 times this morning–definitely my favorite of this year’s shape up workouts!
3 mile walk today
3 rounds of workout 3. and i did a mish mash of a barre workout based on your holiday barre workout from december.
Another treadmill run this morning! -7 out and -28 with the constant 15mph winds!
ended up doing an interval run today, limited to a treadmill!
Blergh this week has been all over the place. I’ve had a lot of work events and the cold here in NY has been killing my motivation. Managed to wake up early this morning and walk to the gym in 2 degree weather to do Workout 5 plus some abs! Can’t wait for the weekend and more time to workout!
Rest Day!
Yesterday was a rest day with a sick baby :(. This morning was workout #2 and #3 tonight! Workout #2 is always a challenge for me!!
Kicked off my Friday with the Friday workouts – so much delightful pain! Made me feel so good I walked right by the doughnut holds a coworker brought in today! Looking forward to that bikini in the Dominican Republic in a few weeks…
Friday check-in: 6:35am HIIT class at the YMCA
3 rounds of wo#1 done!
Today was an active recovery day with some treadmill walking, ab work and pushups-until my little dude climbed on my back for a ride ๐
Yesterday I spent 45 min on the treadmill followed by abs and pushups!
Cardio day – I had a seriously case of workout ADD today and needed something to distract and motivate me, so, I did 30 minutes of incline & running intervals, plus 30 minutes split between elliptical & stairmill. Planning on Workout #4 tomorrow.
*a serious case
I did a hot vinyasa flow followed by 30 minute HIIT workout this morning.
My workout buddy. She gets 15 minutes indoor fetch then self entertains and cools off while I do my workout. Workout #2 done! Treadmills full again today, so I did a 40 minute ArcTrainer incline workout instead.
I’m kind of sad this is the last day of workouts for winter shape-up 2015…it’s been fun!! I think this is the first time I’ve followed through to the end. I’m contemplating doing 2014s shape-up for the next 4 weeks.
Workout #1 x3 – I used heavier weights this time and felt so strong! Followed by the plank ab burner you just posted. Looking forward to a flow yoga class later tonight!
Got in the workout. It was a great one!
Just got in my workout #2 before my nephew woke up from his nap. Yay!
Only had time for workout #3 today, so will do #2 tomorrow. I feel like it’s cheating a bit since it’s harder to do them consecutively, but oh well ๐
today is a rest day for me! I did get a 30 min treadmill lunch walk in though just to shake my legs out.
i did the fit tuesday workout this morning and i’m planning to go to “happy hour” yoga after work
workout #2 is so hard!
got my workouts in early today!
Did your day after Xmas workout from awhile back. Good way to start the day.
I just finished wo #2 & wo #4 today–holy moses! I feel great going into the weekend!
Did workout #2 and workout #3 today – in that order – and it was a great way to begin my Friday evening. Barre left me shaky + fatigued as always!
Rest day here!
Getting in a total body circuit workout today and hopefully some yoga!
Workout #2 and some arm strength today. I’ll do my extra cardio tomorrow ๐
I did steady state first thing this morning and I’m heading to yoga at 10:30 ๐
