Hello there love bugs and happy Saturday!
I hope your day is off to a great start already! Mine definitely is. The sun is shining, the snow is melting, it smells so fresh and spring-like outside, and my breakfast was absolutely delicious!
I also just finished my leg workout!
So that concludes this week of training for me! So, here’s a recap of all four of my workouts from this week. Let me know if you give any a try 
Monday - Chest, triceps, and core
Hammer strength chest press 4 x 12, 10 (PR for reps), 6 (PR for weight and reps), 10
Decline hammer strength chest press 3 x 10, 8, 8
Cable chest press 4 x 10, 8 (PR for weight and reps), 8, 8
Incline DB flyes 4 x 10, 8 (PR for reps), 8, 8
Close grip straight bar cable push downs 4 x 12, 8 (PR for weight and reps), 8, 8
Skull crushers 4 x 10, 8 (PR for weight and reps), 8, 10
Reverse grip straight bar cable push downs 3 x 10
Crunches 2 x 30
Bicycle crunches 3 x 30 (15 each side)
My favourite exercise from this workout was the reverse grip push downs! This really isolates the triceps and I always envision Vanessa Tib while doing them!
Tuesday - Rest
Wednesday - Back and rear delts
Close grip pull downs 4 x 12 (PR for reps), 10 (PR for weight and reps), 8 (PR for weight and reps), 8
T bar row 4 x 8
Seated cable row 4 x 8
Single arm DB row 3 x 10, 8 (PR for reps), 8
Behind the neck pull downs 4 x 8
Face pulls 4 x 8
I always love back day! Even though I look forward to the back days that include deadlifts, these workouts are always great, too! My favourite exercise from this workout were the close grip pull downs! I love how I can feel my muscles really contracting during this one!
Thursday - Rest
Friday - Shoulders and biceps
Hammer strength shoulder press 4 x 8 – 10
DB side lateral raises (one arm at a time) 3 x 12
DB front raises (one arm at a time) 3 x 8
Cable upright row with straight bar 3 x 10
Alternating DB curls 3 x 12, 8 (PR for weight and reps), 8
Cable preacher curl 3 x 10
Concentration curls 3 x 10
Today was a great workout! We changed it up a bit from the usual by adding in the hammer strength shoulder press rather than using dumbbells. I was so happy to move up in weight for my DB curls because I had been stuck at the same weight for a while! 
I wish I would have done some core work after my workout, but I wasn’t feeling it, so I didn’t do it!
Saturday - Legs
Squats 4 x 12, 10, 8 (PR for reps), 8
Leg press 4 x 10, 6, 6, 6
Single leg leg extensions 3 x 8, 8, 10
Stiff leg deadlifts 4 x 12, 10 (PR for reps), 8 (PR for reps and weight), 8
Lying hamstring curl 3 x 8
Donkey calf raises 3 x 8 – 10
Toe press 3 x 10
Today’s leg workout was so tough! I was able to increase the amount of reps I do for my max weight with squats which fired me up!
Sunday - Rest
What was your favourite workout this week?
Are you working out today?
Do you think of anyone when you workout? I think of a variety of fitness inspirations (including many of my blends) while training, but for some reason I always think of Vanessa Tib when doing reverse triceps push downs!?
Love always,
Meg xo

My favorite workout this week was leg day. Loved feeling it in my quads and calves the next day. Means I made progress!!
Happy Saturday, Meg!
I am still feeling my legs from Saturday!
I loved my workout yesterday which was 4 mini circuits with 400m sprints in between. Today I need to do some Pilates to give my body and muscles a good stretch but also might do a run.
today is rest day for us! oh yay love rest days hehe
enjoyed all of our workouts from this past week, hard to pick one
I need to try another one of your workouts! I’ve only done the 12 min plank!
when i work out i always envision the food im going to eat afterwards
hahahah ME TOO!
Once again, another week filled with amazing workouts. Awesome job, girly!
Thought of you during my workout this am
Great Job! I my Crossfit kinda workout day. Pretty intense!
Please forgive my ignorance here..but what do the numbers mean? I get that it’s (sets) x (reps)…but when it’s (for example) 4×12, 10, 6, 10…what does that mean?? Like 4 rounds and you do 12 then 10 then 6 then 10 reps, or 4 rounds of 12 AND THEN a round each of 10, 6 and 10?
If it says 4 x 12, 10, 6, 10 I did one set of 12, one set of 10, one set of 6, and one set of 10. A total of four sets/”rounds”
I always love your workouts!
Can’t wait to workout with you at Blend!
Won’t that be amazing, sis!?
