The sun woke me up WAY earlier than we were going to leave to go mountain biking this morning so I started my morning reading blogs, that IS what most people in the world do first thing upon waking up. I got motivated by YOU GUYS to workout even though I was runningless and gymless.
Here’s how it went down homie g’s.
For more details on each move….GO HERE. Each move was 12-15 reps and 3 sets.
And the yoga download is a FREE app on the ipad and I did the yoga for runner’s which was 20 minutes.
There was also a few hours of this…..Mountain biking is a FULL BODY workout…believe you me and I only fell 1 time.
I need a shower. I need some ice cream. I am going to nap the whole car ride home:)
———————————————————————
Tell me what YOUR WORKOUT WAS!?!?!
Do you like to mountain bike?
Do you ever do yoga at home?
-PS I know can no longer use the ‘no mat’ as an excuse….you can do it without a mat and I only got a few splinters.

I ran 7km this morning! 6am outside – was nice and cool, dare I say maybe too cool?! I love the heat!
I do like to do yoga at home, Yoga Meltdown – Jillian Michaels is the best :) I should check out home yoga routines too!
Emily
I love that picture of you yoga-ing! I’m awful at at-home workouts unless it’s a DVD. I like teachers yelling at me.
My workout is about to be a sunset run aka my favorite thing in the world.
Have a good day girl!
Emily@RunningPerspective

I have yoga’d at home a couple times but not as much as I should!
I have never mountain biked but that has something to do with I have never spent time in the mountains other than to grab a quick bite or to get gas, preferably not from the food but for the car! :-)
Today I ran a mile got all calf crampy, walked a mile and then bikes 3.5!!
Lauren
I’m planning on a 3 mile run with my pup after work followed by a 40 minute total body circuit with Jackie Warner on DVD…I hate her so much…in a good way!
Courtney @ Girl In The Pink
Love free ipad apps! I’ll have to check this one out. I used to teach yoga at the high school I taught at – so now I do my own little yoga class with me, myself and I most mornings (sometimes my dog joins in, he has a mean downward and upward facing dog. His form is textbook).
Courtney @ Girl In The Pink
ps. your arms are hella toned. I need to be doing whatever it is you are doing!
Lina @ Lil B in the Big C
I’ve always wanted to try down hill mountain biking! Was it scary?!?! I have an “active rest” day today, so i’m walking 3.5 miles to my kickball game, then playing kickball on my coed team for an hour!
Keelie (SweatEqualsSuccess)
Dear Janae,
I do yoga at home all the time! Fun!
Can I come get sweaty on your deck? I’ll bring you delicious NY Cheesecake. Walking from Brooklyn should be a sufficient warmup, right?
xoxo

Today was Jillian Michaels 30-day shred and then off to sweat even more on a walk in the 117* heat index today — woah! I do yoga one and awhile — but my super-inflexible body can only take so much of it! :)
Lauren
Sweet mountain biking! I’ve only gone once, but it was so much fun. I love bringing my yoga mat into my back yard and doing an audio/video podcast. Combines sunshine + exercise, two of my favorite things.
Sabrina
I’ve tired yoga once. I am always afraid I will fall over or something. *sighs*
Enjoy your nap, and ice cream!
Amanda@runninghood
Girl, you are looking buff here! Seriously getting some muscle. nice job! And I did some yoga today at the gym and also do workouts at home.
Holly
which ipad app do you have? i searched for yoga download (i know that’s a website), but didn’t come up with anything. i really want to incorporate more yoga and that’s a great way to do it :)
Gen
Strength + run!!!!!
Your workout sounds awesome!!!!!!!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey
My workout was this: http://www.howsweeteats.com/2011/06/i-like-cupcakes-circuit
I cried.
lindsay
now that is fun!!! I love the porch yoga, so peaceful. And how did the mt. biking go? no crashes lets hope!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen
I love at home yoga. I actually like using our rug in the family room better than the yoga mat. It’s more comfy :)
mego@watchmegorun
awesome workout! I did an easy 3 miler with a running buddy in a local park today and plan to do another 2 or 3 tonight with the bf…trying to slowly ease my way into some 2 a days as I’m doing hood to coast on the nuun team in august!
Susan
Day of rest today – yay! Nice to have after running 2.5 (with a group, for the first time, which was awesome) + personal training (where I was all kinds of awesome).
Those pushup crawls look terrifying.
Brittany
The only yoga I can really stand is Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown. I’ve done the P90X yoga before and I couldn’t stand it. It’s a great way to stretch but I’m incredibly impatient. Jillians Yoga is quick, has me work up a sweat AND it helps me stretch. A definite winner.
dana @ my little celebration
My workout? It’s easier this way…

p.s. your’e stinkin adorable :D
Heather
I’m actually going mountain biking for the weekend in Crested Butte–so excited!!!
Erica
My first and only mt. biking experience was in Crested Butte CO. Not really a place for an amature, but I was so proud of myself I bought some sticker that said ride crested butte…..and put it up at work. This was like 8 years ago, kind of lamesauce as I now think about it.
Long story short, have fun in CB.
Heather
Thanks! We usually do Moab every year but we decided to branch out a bit :) Maybe I’ll grab a sticker too!
Amanda
I’m done yoga through the on-demand exercise programs on my t.v.
I love how you were able to do your whole work-out outside on the deck today! :)
Jeana
The Nike Training Center app is pretty good and free. I like the abs workouts on it better than the Jillian Michaels 6-pack Abs video that I just bought.
Janae
I CAN’T WAIT TO TRY THE NIKE ABS WORKOUT…THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RECOMMENDATION!
Alisa @ Runs with Knives
I did a way too hot, short run.
I prefer to do yoga at home. I can hold poses I need longer and can skip ones I don’t like. Plus, yoga tends to move gases down and out and I don’t mind letting one or five go when it’s just me and the dog.
Kelley@BillieDaye
Tell me what YOUR WORKOUT WAS!?!?!
-20 minutes on elliptical machine, 30 minutes on treadmill, 20 minutes cycling
Do you like to mountain bike?
-I’ve never been, but I do enjoy riding my bike.
Do you ever do yoga at home?
Occasionally, but I always feel foolish doing the poses. I need to get back into it!
Andrea (Run. Learn. Repeat.)
I did yoga at home this morning too. I’m trying to teach myself to like it, and I think I’m getting there. I need to try that yoga for runners. The one I did was Bob Harper’s weight loss yoga. I also got a pretty summer night’s 5 mile run in tonight. Hadn’t run since Monday so it was awesome. :)
Mac
My workout was playing 2 games of basketball in a 90 degree gym… I didn’t sweat at all, can you believe that ;)
Aine @ Something to Chew Over
I’m a big fan of yoga at home! I do mini sessions once or twice after work and then usually a long session on Sundays. It’s good to stretch! I always feel so much better afterwards :)
Yolie @ Practising Wellness
Your yoga on the deck this morning must have been heavenly – what a perfect place to practice!
I do yoga at home all the time :-) I rarely ever go to classes because I live so far away from any studios…but it just means when I do hit up a class it is extra special, and a wonderful treat! <3 It's really easy for me to be motivated with home practice because I love yoga with all my heart – like you do running! ;-) It also helps that I have such an amazing selection of Yoga dvds – just yesterday I reviewed the Yoga Meltdown on my blog – it was EPIC! :-D I think you do that one, right? Other faves are my Moksha yoga CDs, and Yoga For Athletes DVD. I just did that one a few minutes ago and it was gorgeous and delicious :-)
Mountain biking is the best! SO much fun but SO hard! I ache all over my body whenever I do it but there is nothing like the buzz and the exhaustion and the being immersed in nature – funness! I've only done it with my boyfriend, he's proper into it, and quite scary to ride with, lol! :-P
I was up super early reading blogs this morning too – a very productive way to pass the early hours, imho! ;-) Have a wonderful day! xyx
PS: You can get these really cool socks called yogitoes that you can practice in – they have grippy bobbles – and they might reduce the splinter risk, lol!
Yolie @ Practising Wellness
Yeeeesh, that was more a letter than a comment…sorry! xyx
Laurin
Today was at home boot camp with some weights. My arms are so sore that I can barely move!

We would like to thank you yet again for the lovely ideas you offered Jesse when preparing a post-graduate research plus, most importantly, regarding providing the many ideas in a single blog post. Provided that we had known of your web-site a year ago, we’d have been kept from the unnecessary measures we were employing. Thank you very much.
