I started the day with a quick High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout from Fitness Blender. Really built a nice sweat, and worked all the major muscles in less than 15 minutes.
Fat Burning HIIT Cardio Workout
Next up was a full body vinyasa yoga practice by another great YouTube Yogi, Ali Kamenova. Some of the poses are a bit challenging, but you can modify to suit your ability. I was a sweaty mess after this routine, but my whole body felt great afterwards. She focuses a lot on abs in this routine, so it’s a nice practice if you are looking to work that midsection.
Today’s smoothie is simple, refreshing, and really orange.
(Makes 2 Smoothies)
1 Cup Chopped Carrots
2 Little Pears
1 Inch Piece of Ginger
1 Orange
2 Cups Water
Food Key
– Carrots: vitamins A & B6, folic acid and magnesium
– Pears: fiber, potassium and copper
– Ginger: stimulates digestion, combats flatulence (NICE!) and is effective against colds
– Oranges: vitamin C and potassium
i need to try including ginger in my smoothies..

Ginger is a really nice pick me up in the morning. Great alternative to coffee/caffeine. Or have both if that’s how you roll :).
