The GIF Mix Workout

Oh, the day I stumbled upon a tutorial for how to make GIFs, was a glorious day. I get it, sometimes following a workout from a photograph is a little difficult, you can’t always tell exactly what is going on. But, I am tragically awkward on camera, so videos just aren’t up my alley. Plus, we can talk about the fact that if I made a video, there would be multiple squeals and interruptions from my tiny clan of boys. ain’t nobody got time for that

But the GIFS, oh the GIFS…they give my sweet readers a little demo without the painful experience of me on video. So get ready ladies, it’s a GIF mixer workout. I know you’re excited.

So, let’s get into it! This workout is total body, so it would be great to put in between two cardio days, once a week, or you could do it three times a week, on alternating days. No need to rush through these moves either, you’re going to do each one for one minute, then you’re going to repeat the entire thing, two more times! All you need to focus on the entire time, is your form, make sure you’re feeling the exercise, if you get to the end of the minute and think, that wasn’t so bad, go a little lower next time, hold the flex a little longer or grab more weight! Challenge yourself, if it isn’t challenging, you’re not changing!

You can do these exercises with or without the equipment used in the demonstration. You can also substitute a dumbbell for the kettlebell.

Long Lunge
lower body and core workout using a stability ball and a kettlebell

Monkey

Windshield Wiper

Row

Leg Side Extension

Halo

Squat to Tip Toes

Side Lunge

Balance Bike

Jumping Jacks (with or without resistance band)

Repeat two more times! 🙂 Have fun!

    The gifs are so fun! I love that you can still get in a good workout without leaving your house. I also love your home, even though that has nothing to do with the workouts, haha! I think I’ve said that before.
