Trainer Slept In = Upper Body Workout!

This morning I woke up with this doozy in my e-mail inbox from World Market, and I just. about. died. I apologize to anyone who wears one of these hats but I immediately sent e-mails to some friends joking about them.

Perhaps I just don’t have the right personality to pull them off, or maybe they’re just not the right career choice for a law student….

As a 23 year old +, would you wear an animal hat on a daily basis?

So yesterday I was supposed to meet my trainer at 8am. She’s usually there before our session so when 8:10 rolled around, I knew she’d forgotten. No big deal, because now I have a great upper body workout for you all! You can also check out my HIIT elliptical workout and my leg workout!

I started out with 15 minutes on the elliptical and then did this upper body workout:

Upper Body Workout

Superset*: Chest Press and Seated Row – 3 sets of 15 reps each

Superset: Chin Ups and Tricep Dips – 3 sets of 15 reps each

Straight Arm Side Twist: 15 reps on each side

Superset: Push-ups on Bosu Ball and Supermans – 2 sets of 15 reps each

1 minute plank on Bosu Ball – 30 seconds with left leg raised, 30 seconds with right leg raised

*A superset means that I go back and forth between the moves, with no resting in between. Saves time and keeps your heart-rate up!

Then I hopped on the elliptical for another 10 minutes, and then walked at an incline on the treadmill for 10 minutes as well! I had some extra time since I had gotten to the gym early to do the first 15 minutes on the elliptical before my workout with my trainer!

Afterwards, I made some Pumpkin Pie Oats… per usual.

Today, however, I mixed it up with the pumpkin!

Pumpkin Yogurt Mash!

Ingredients

1/2 cup plain greek yogurt

1/2 cup canned pumpkin

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 cup cereal to top!


All mixed together and half eaten:

This is just a basic mash, since I was testing it out, but you could add anything into this! Various types of cereal, granola, raisins, nuts, protein powder, the options are endless! I can’t wait use up my GIANT CANS of pumpkin trying it out!

Yes. I went through 2 cans of pumpkin in 2 days. So I decided to make an investment…

Now I’m off to a doctors appointment, gotta run!

What is your favorite way to eat pumpkin? Or have you not tried it yet?
