\"Dumbells<\/p>\n

Something I\u2019ve wanted to focus on, here at Colourful Palate, is workout features and fitness routines. I decided that once the New Year rolled around, I\u2019d start making that more of a priority with my site. Fitness is a big part of my life, especially now that I\u2019m going into that field as a profession. So I\u2019m excited about sharing some fun fitness stuff with you all!<\/p>\n

I saw this funny flowchart on Pinterest<\/a> and thought I\u2019d share it with you! It\u2019s always a good time to workout!<\/p>\n

\"Should<\/p>\n

So I thought I\u2019d share the exercises I did tonight. It\u2019s a lower body workout focused mainly on legwork (hence the name). So grab your iPod, some 5lb weights, and complete this as many times as you need to get those legs shaking! (smile)<\/p>\n

Seriously though, after I\u2019ve finished an intense workout, sometimes my legs or arms will shake for a while. It just makes me smile, because I know I gave it all I had, and it really does feel \u201cgood\u201d. (Yes, some of us fitness nuts have weird definitions of \u201cfeeling good\u201d) Just be careful to maintain good form in all these exercises!<\/p>\n

\"Shaky<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong><\/span> Try to do all three sets without rest! For my second set, I did bicep curls with the lunge to target other arm muscles.<\/p>\n

To make this workout a little harder and burn those arms, keep your arms up at a 90 degree angle when you’re doing the shoulder press (with the sumo squat). Don’t drop your arms below your shoulders for the whole sumo squat exercise.<\/p>\n

Also, toe touches are done on lying on the floor, with your legs pencil-straight up. Crunch up to touch your toes (or as far as you can reach) with both arms extended.<\/p>\n

This workout takes about 20-25 minutes and it’s intense! It really got my heart going! My legs were<\/em> shaking (especially during the wall sits – HATE those!)<\/p>\n

If you travel a lot like me, you might want to check out this post featuring a travel workout<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Blog Update:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to adding a fitness section<\/strong> to this site, I also thought that this year I might add:<\/p>\n

–Short Posts<\/strong> that feature: quick workouts, super-fast recipes, inspiration posts, ect<\/p>\n

–FAQ<\/strong> page?<\/p>\n

-A fitness feature that focuses on an exercise<\/strong> and how to do it with good form<\/p>\n

-posts that highlight the foods I eat and workouts I do<\/strong> daily to keep healthy and fit<\/p>\n

I have some other really cool ideas that I really hope to implement this fall, but for now I\u2019m thinking of the ones above. What say you? Any other ideas, features, or posts you\u2019d like to see here on Colourful Palate? Let me know! I\u2019d love to hear your ideas!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

…And if you try the workout, let me know how it went!
