My Weekly Workout Routine





Trust me, I know how hard it is to find time to workout when you're schedule seems insanely hectic. I'm a full time, straight A student, I work part-time, and I still find time to spend with my family, friends, and boyfriend, cook three healthy meals a day, study, write blogs, read, meditate, relax, AND workout regularly while still feeling my best- yes, it IS possible! It's all about priorities in life, and if you put health as your number one priority, everything else will fall into place and you will find that you have more time and energy than ever before.

I wanted to give you guys an example of my weekly workout routine to show you all how I squeeze in physical activity to my hectic schedule! I am currently doing Kayla's Bikini Body guide and loving it, but I will make another post when I start doing my own workouts once again. For now, here is my usual weekly workout routine:

Monday

  • 11-11:45 AM- Kayla Itsines BBG Arms & Abs and stretching
Tuesday
  • 9:45-11 AM- Yoga
Wednesday
  • This is my FULL day of work and school with no breaks in between, so at 6:30 AM I just do a 15-20 minute ab workout routine and some stretches
Thursday
  • 10-10:45 AM- Kayla Itsines BBG Legs and Cardio and stretching
Friday
  • Kayla Itsines BBG Full body workout, a short cardio workout (30-40 minutes) and stretching
Saturday
  • Cardio day! Usually an hour or more. I either take long walks in my neighborhood, go on a long hike or swim. Saturday's are my chill days and the days I spend time with family/friends so I usually try to incorporate an outdoor cardio activity with my family, friends, or boyfriend instead of spending my time at the gym!
Sunday
  • 11 AM- 12 PM- Yoga
  • Anywhere from 30 minutes-an hour of cardio at the gym or a long walk outdoors
In short, I usually incorporate two yoga sessions, three HIIT/resistance training workouts, three cardio workouts, stretch time, and meditation time every single week! When do you guys find time to workout? Comment below!

  1. Superb routine! I can’t believe that you get time for relaxing in this busy schedule. That’s really impressive! Now I am also planning to start practicing yoga. Can you suggest a good online yoga workout class?

  2. I actually have never done yoga online, and I personally think you get better results if you do it in a group setting! It is more motivating and you are forced to stay in certain poses for longer than you would make yourself do at home. However, there are tons of yoga books that show you poses and sequences, which you can easily do at home. Hope this helps! xx
