Workout Bunny

I started feeling better yesterday and went to the gym yesterday and today as my cold is slowly going away. Today I did 30 minutes in total on the elliptical machine. 25 minutes on level 8 and then 5 minute cool down, slowly going from level 8 down to 1. Yesterday I worked my legs, glutes and core, so today I focused on upper body strength.  I usually do about 5 different arm exercises made up of 3 sets of 15 reps for each one. I make sure I do a combination of exercises that work my biceps, triceps and chest. I am so happy to be back at the gym! Happy Friday everyone!

Many people tend to think protein shakes and protein powder are for bodybuilders, but protein-rich snacks can be a great way for anyone who is trying to lose weight. For women especially, protein shakes can help stave off hunger, curb total calorie consumption and encourage lean muscle development. My Go-To Protein Shakes: Mocha Whey Protein Shake: Make your protein shake as usual. (1 scoop of chocolate whey protein & skim milk), but add half a teaspoon on instant coffee! This shake has the flavor of iced coffee with the health benefits of whey protein. Cinnamon Swirl Protein Shake: Make your protein shake as usual again, (1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored whey protein & skim milk) but this time add a pinch of cinnamon! Banana Chocolate Protein Shake: (requires blender) Make your protein shake as usual again again, (1 scoop of chocolate whey protein & skim milk) but this time add half a banana and then blend in a blender!
