Print them out and bring them to the gym, the beach, your backyard, your bedroom… You can do this workout anywhere! My only requirements are that you work HARD and have FUN!

Bikini Boot Camp Challenge: Week 7
This week’s workout comes from NYC Trainer Stacy Berman via Fit Sugar. It’s quick and it’s simple but it gets the job done with just 6 different moves to target the abs, butt, shoulders, and legs. I’m all about this workout because as I continue to navigate my way through the world of fitness and training, I’m quickly learning that more often than not, simple and straight to the point trumps crazy and complicated. For a complete workout, I recommend going through this chart 2 or 3 times. And, as we inch closer and closer to week 11 (just 4 weeks away! Summer here we come!), make sure you get this workout in at least 2 times this week, are keeping on track with the rest of your workout schedule, and are also staying on top of your diet. Before you know it, you’ll be at the beach showing off your best bikini body! WAHOO!
Who’s ready for summer?!

All I have to say about this lower-body circuit is that, if you can sit down without any pain the day after this workout… Don’t worry, that won’t happen. Here’s what to do:
Repeat circuit 3 times:
3 x 12 Walking Lunges with Dumbbell Bicep Curl (Last rep of each set, hold lunge and curl 5 times.)
4 x 12 Seated Leg Press (4th set: remove weight and do 20 reps)
4 x 12 Hip Abductions (4th set: remove weight and do 20 reps)
3 x 12 Barbell or Assisted  Squats
*For an added challenge: increase weight and decrease reps on the 3rd and final circuit.

Today’s Workout: 4-mile run, Bonnie Pfiester’s Best Beach Bum Bikini Bottom Workout, and Blogilates’ 6 Pack Abs in 6 Moves!
It was nice enough to run outside today, so that was awesome! It’s funny, because two years ago, if you told me to run 4 miles I would have laughed in your face. But now that I’ve done upwards of 8 miles in one workout, 4 miles feels like nothing. That’s a pretty awesome feeling!

It’s also usually pretty hard for me to hold under a 10-minute-mile when I’m running outside. So proof that I’m getting faster based on stats like this from iMapMyRun is also a pretty sweet feeling!
After my run I did this killer butt workout by Bonnie Pfiester, which I had been meaning to check out for quite some time now. I’m glad that I finally did it because, well I’ll just say… Oh baby you’re buns will burn after this one! After that, I did Cassey Ho’s 6 -minute ab circuit. I highly recommend both for a better butt and awesome abs! Try them both and let me know what you think!
P.S. Both of these are awesome supplements to the 11-Week Bikini Boot Camp Challenge!
