So as promised, this is the second part of the 3-part bleacher workout series! Part 1 (the Upper-Body Bleacher Workout) came out last week. Have any of you tried it? My arms were shaking by the time I was done!
It’s realllllyyyy hot in Texas right now, so if it seems like I was a sweaty mess in these photos, it’s because I WAS. I definitely recommend waiting until the sun sets to do these workouts! Or early early morning (because it’s boiling hot by, like, 6am here)? That’s not really my thing, so night time it is! 😉
If you’re following along with the bleacher workouts, the best way to get optimal results is to do each workout 1 time a week! Here’s an example:
Monday – Upper-Body Bleacher Workout
Tuesday – At-Home Cardio Workout
Wednesday – Core Bleacher Workout
Thursday – At-Home Cardio Workout
Friday – Lower-Body Bleacher Workout

Great post! I need to be motivated back into working out. I am so consumed by building my business that I something sacrifice my workout regime. 🙁 Thanks for the simple reminder.
