Winter Shape Up 2016: Week 4 + Sabra giveaway
I can’t believe we’re in the final week of Winter Shape Up! (Check out the intro post here for all of the details. Your week 4 meal plan is live here, too!)
Your goal for this week: hit it with the same intensity that you had when you started! You can see the finish line up ahead.. time to sprint to the end! You’ve got this. <3 If you haven’t been following the challenge this year, I have a goal for you: try ONE of the workouts. Your choice! Maybe you’ll want to join in next time, or if anything, it’s a fun way to spice up your routine this week.
Before we get going, a huge congrats to the winner of our Chex goodie package giveaway: Laura N.! (Check your email and we’ll get your prize on the way!)
A very special thank you to all of our sponsors:
Cabot | Sabra | Sizzlefish | Pure Canadian Maple Syrup | Daily Harvest | Gluten Free Chex | Crunch Live (use code WSU30 to get a free 30-day trial. After 30 days it will roll over to a membership at $9.99, but can be canceled at any time)
This week’s featured sponsor is Sabra, makers of our family’s favorite hummus.
We have been watching a LOT of basketball (’tis the season!), and Sabra is one of the perfect couchgating staples. I slice up some veggies, add some Sabra hummus to a bowl, grab some crackers, and healthy munchies are served. We also love the pretzel dipper packs, and to use Sabra in lunches and appetizers. One of my all-time favorites is this eggplant pizza!
One very lucky winner will win a case of Sabra hummus in assorted flavors plus a $50 Visa gift card! All you have to do is check in below with your workouts each day to enter.
Here’s what the final week of workouts looks like:

HIIT10: 30 seconds HARD, 30 seconds of recovery for 10 rounds
Here is workout #4: a fun yoga-inspired strength workout.
I don’t recommend jumping into a solo flow if you haven’t practiced yoga with live instruction. If you are a total yoga beginner (YAY!), I recommend hitting up a local class to get instruction for the basic poses. Yoga has a huge emphasis on proper alignment, and it makes a huge difference for safety (and enjoyment!) to make sure you’re properly set up. If you’d like to do something else instead of Workout #4 above, you can substitute any of the previous weekly workouts or a Crunch LIVE workout of your choice. As always, check with a doc before making any fitness changes and honor your body.
Are you excited for Week 4?! Don’t forget to send your sweaty pics along (@fitnessista @fannetasticfood #wintershapeup)
Keep up the amazing work!

PS We’re in Disneyland (wahoo!) so I’ll be back blogging tomorrow. See ya then, friends. <3

I love that yoga is in it this year! Definitely will do that tomorrow! Lifted and ellipticalled this morning!
Ran a snowy 5 miles outside today. There wasn’t any wind though so it actually quite pleasant.
I don’t do yoga, but I think I could get down with these moves!
Started the week off with 45 mins of kickboxing
Have so much fun at Disneyland! It’s the perfect day for it!
Mmm I love Sabra
workout #1 is done! looking forward to yoga day this week!
Workout one is done, and I can’t wait to do workout4!
I know you’re big on keeping GMO products out of the house…did Sabra finally convert to non-GMO? I used to eat their hummus exclusively until I found out they used GMO soybeans…
Love the yoga theme this week! 🙂
workout done!
Loved workout 1 this AM! Looking forward to finishing out strong
We are all sabra fans in our house!
TRX circuit and taught two cycle classes yesterday. Tonight is teaching cycle and my favorite weekly yoga class!
Workout #1 completed much earlier this AM. Also did some yoga poses. I’m working on my Half-Moon pose, among others.
Got off track this weekend, put back on track this week with workout 1 this am!
I’m hitting workout #3 this afternoon on my lunch break!
I did an hour TRX at the gym this morning.
Held my very own exercise class with my boys this morning. They had a great time kicking and punching their way through workout #1 and I have a new appreciation for those who can talk during workouts!!
The yoga workout looks great! I did a great, but hilly, climb/run on the treadmill this morning.
lunchtime yoga class today to get a good stretch after my long run yesterday!
Love the yoga-inspired workout #4! Excited to try 🙂 I made it to a hot vinyasa today at 6am – my goal is to fit in workout #1 tomorrow after work!
walking down the road and back
I did a strength workout plus the treadmill today!
I love yoga! Did the workout this morning
Love yoga inspired workouts! I took a crazy sweaty boot camp class today.
Did the yoga workout this morning 🙂 love it!
did my yoga workout 🙂
Workout one done, and I was a sweaty mess!
I’m definitely in for a yoga workout.
Went for a 1 hour walk through the snow this morning, brrrr!
Did workout #1 x 3! That is one SHWEATY circuit! 🙂 Sure makes it easy to sit on the couch guilt free for the entire 2 hour Bachelor episode…
Did workout #1 today. Three rounds. Felt stronger than when I did it week 1.
Yes! Definitely looking forward to trying this yoga workout! Did a shirt treadmill run this am!
10 minutes on the row machine and 25 on the elliptical for my 32 weeks prego steady state!
It was a rest day today – I had too. Hopefully I’ll feel more like myself tomorrow!
Love that workout #1!!
Loved my Workout #1 on Monday! These workouts are a blessing…makes the prep time so easy and we can just get to it!
Up and early this morning, steady state is done!
I ran 5 miles in the morning yesterday then did a tabata workout with six different exercises and I am sore today. Not sure I will get any exercise in today besides shoveling….we got 8 inches of snow overnight and its still coming down.
Tuesday AM workout completed.
Bonus workout for me today will be a loooong walk outside. Even if it’s raining, I’m getting out there because the temperature has finally warmed up.
Knocked out Workout #1 last night and then woke up early to head to the gym for a 30 min steady state and quick ‘Suns Out Guns Out’ arm burner.
Today is a rest day but I wanted to tell you that Warrior 3 is my favorite pose (major strength + balance) so I’m happy that you included it.
steady state before work today!
I’m a day behind this week due to a Valentine’s weekend away, workout #1 completed! Felt good to be back at it after an indulgent weekend.
Went to a yoga class.
Steady state this am and hoping to get in a quick barre workout at lunch.
got outside for a workout today !
I biked to Venice for a beach day 🙂
i love hummus! especially Sabra, so this is exciting. i’m currently doing Jamie Eason’s LiveFit 12week program, mixed in with yoga, so maybe ill try this flow!
“Hit it with the same intensity that you had when you started” – such great advice. It’s so easy to lose motivation during any fitness goal. Love the yoga strength workout! Thanks so much for sharing. Have a lovely day!
