Who watched the Women’s World Cup final last weekend? What a match — GO USA! I used to play competitive soccer through college and even spent a year with a club at the University of Minnesota, so watching the U.S. team beat Japan felt incredible. It brought back so many memories of team sports and makes me want to join a co-ed rec league here in the Twin Cities. If any of you play adult recreational sports (anywhere), I’d love to hear about your experiences. It’s such a fun way to meet people and stay active.
Summer SWEAT Series: 4 down, 2 to go!
I can’t even handle it — Week 5 is here and it’s all about building a strong core and upper body. Each workout still delivers a full-body challenge and cardio, but the emphasis this week is on abs and upper-body strength.
Weekly Workout Plan
Monday: Core and Cardio Crank
Tuesday: 10 to 1 Lower Body Workout
Wednesday: Long and Lean Full Body Superset Tabatas
Thursday: Upper Body + Core Stability Workout
Friday: Interval Cardio Workout
Frequently asked question: will the workouts remain available after the Summer SWEAT Series ends? Yes — all workouts will stay live on FFF and AK so you can access them anytime. Whether you fall behind or want to keep using these routines, they’ll be there.
If you’re looking for this week’s meal plans, Ambitious Kitchen has the downloadable meal plan and grocery list ready for Week 6 of the Summer SWEAT Series.
I’ve been excited for this week’s meals — so much good food and yes, #desserteveryday because balance matters!
