Winter Shape Up 2018: Week 2
Hi friends! Welcome to Week 2 of this year’s challenge! While I look forward to putting together the workouts for you during each Shape Up (and filming the videos!) the best part by far is the community that it creates. It’s pretty incredible to see women (and dudes!) all over the world, cheering each other on and supporting everyone’s fitness goals. Our Facebook group has been a blast so far, and I’m excited to pop in with a couple of surprise Live Workouts along the way. It’s not too late to join in the fun if you’d like to Shape Up with us! All of the details are here.

We have our Lorissa’s Kitchen giveaway coming up next week, but for now, here’s a little giveaway from me to you.
Leave a comment below each time you complete a workout this week – it doesn’t have to be a WSU workout! – and I’ll pick 2 lucky winners to receive a Fabletics outfit of their choice.
I’m really particular about activewear, and Fabletics is one of my very faves. It’s well-made, not super expensive, and they always have unique styles and patterns.

-Send a little tweet to our awesome sponsors (@lorissaskitchen @sunbasket @primowater) and be sure to include @fitnessista so I can see it!
Ready, set, go!!

I did HIIT and steady this morning. For a total of about 45 minutes. It felt great!
You are so inspiring! I finally found my groove for workouts- I can only get 4 workouts in a week so I have to make them count! I rocked the arms and back today with resistance training then took a very long power stroll with my youngest!
I ran 16 miles this morning. Yay for marathon training.
Following on Instagram. @crazyrunnergrl13
Yay so excited to start another week of WSU! Totally skipped out on workouts over the weekend (classic behaviour – I’m so motivated during the week but at the weekend I just want to veg out!) so this morning I did some deadlift work, chest work, and and a 15 minute treadmill / rowing machine HIIT scorcher.
Did the ab workout yesterday!! Would love a new outfit or two!! Never got to purchase Fabletics !!
Just did workout 1. I love it! Thanks for everything!
I just did the early Pure Barre class! Loved getting my sweat on early Monday morning 😉
Just completed workout 2 and 7. My legs are shaking!
Taught a 1 hour yoga class today. Happy Monday!
I did a full body circuit workout today and ran 5 miles!
I just had to put a new jug on the water cooler at the office. Does that count as strength?! Tonight’s workout is xtend stick.

Sunday is my off day, but I did 40 min walking on the treadmill to get the rest of my 10,000 steps yesterday 😀

I started my Monday off with a slow flow yoga class and now I’m ready to tackle the week!
I did workouts #2 and #7 today. I don’t feel like I worked the abs too hard. Hopefully I did things correct. I do enjoy the videos as I feel like they push me more. They make me more accountable as it feels like Gina’s in the room! 🙂
Had an early meeting this morning but kept my appointment with leg day anyway. Leg day is the best day!
I did 20 mins on the elliptical yesterday and workouts #2 and #7! i’m beat! today I start my half marathon training so i’ll do 3 miles on the treadmill this evening after work!
