    Happy Workout Wednesday Loves! I’m excited to share my newest workout gear with you guys because honestly it’s made my workout routine that much better! I am one who loves slimming bottoms…especially when heading to the gym. The saying goes black is slimming, but these Marika Magic Slimming Capri Leggings take ‘slimming’ to a new level!missyonmadison asics blueasics sneakers workoutwednesday kingcharlescavalier marikamagicslimmingleggings leggings marika gymclothes fitness longhairdontcare mirroredaviators brunette summerstyle

    I decided to take them for a test run with my pup Charlie. He’s an energetic little guy and he loves going for walks…or should I say runs…

    What I love about these leggings is that they are so comfortable that I found myself wearing them not just to the gym, but to run errands, lounge around the house and I am even wearing them now as I am sitting here typing this post…these are my new active and lazy pants 😉 {PS You Can Buy Them 30% Off With Coupon Code: MM30 Valid Through August 31st!}

    They are available at Marika online as well as at Kohls and other fab department stores! Speaking of Kohls that brings me to my other newest fitness gear obsession…my brand new Running Gel Asics <3missyonmadison asics blueasics sneakers workoutwednesday kingcharlescavalier marikamagicslimmingleggings leggings marika gymclothes fitness longhairdontcare mirroredaviators brunette summerstyle

    I’m seriously obsessed with these bad boys. They are like walking or rather running on air. No longer do I get shin or foot pain after running for 30 minutes, I can keep going and going and I don’t feel a thing…they are a blessing in disguise, trust me, you need a pair! {Nordstrom has a great pair of Asics on sale now thanks to their Anniversary Sale}

    Because I have to always match lol…it’s the fashionista inside me I suppose, I paired my blue and peach Asics with a nice peach tank, not sure where it’s from but Nordstrom has a similar one for just $28!

    Now I’m off to the gym…while I love getting an extra workout from running with Charlie (who by the way is very social…follow him on instagram loves @CharlieTheKCCS…not kidding my sister maintains his account lol) My main workout is heading to Boot Camp classes either once or twice a day. It’s a mix of cardio and weight lifting and let me tell you after just one class your body is hurting….feel the burn baby 😉

    ‘WorkOut Wednesday’ – TRX

    A group of people doing suspension training at the gym.

    Happy ‘WorkOut Wednesday‘ Loves! It’s my first WorkOut Wednesday post of the New Year and like many of you… yes I cheated a little and fell off the gym wagon around the holidays, but I’m happy to get right back to my workout routine! In this edition of ‘WorkOut Wednesday‘ I’m sharing with you a little piece of gym equipment called the ‘TRX‘.

    The ‘TRX’ helps with suspension training. Basically, the ‘TRX’  gives you the ability to do all the exercises you normally do: squats, rows, bicep curls, pushups, burpees etc…except with an extra with a little extra twist. By suspending the body, the ‘TRX’ makes all these already ‘difficult’ exercises a little tougher by having your body suspended in stir-ups wear your either leaning towards or away from the wall in order to get that extra resistance.

    I personally like the ‘TRX’ for some moves like squats, curls, pushups, planking etc…sometimes however, practice makes perfect and it takes a long time to be able to balance in the ‘TRX’ and do the moves properly at the same time!

    Have you tried the ‘TRX’?

    WorkOut Wednesday – ‘Planking’

    Happy WorkOut Wednesday Everyone!

    Remember when ‘Planking’ was the ‘in’ thing all the cool kids were doing? Snapping pics of themselves ‘planking’ in odd locations and sharing it with their friends…well news flash, ‘Planking’ is still in, however not in the way it was made famous for!

    This WorkOut Wednesday is all about the power of the ‘plank’ position. Holding the plank position for 30-60 seconds in between spurts of cardio or after a run helps tighten your core, stabilize your muscles and of course help feel the burn in those abs!

    Want to do a spicier version of the traditional plank? To tackle your obliques, do a side plank like pictured below. If you can raise your arm up with weights even better, if not, stick to the basic!
