Headband c/o: Coco and Cocoa
30-days.
I will be married in thirty days.
To say I'm excited would be an understatement.
That also means it's time to buckle down.
I'm not trying to lose a bunch of weight,
or to fit into a dress that's two sizes too small.
That's not the case.
In fact, my dress fits perfectly... and I love it.
In fact, my dress fits perfectly... and I love it.
I just want to be more fit for the wedding.
Planning and everything has been taking a toll on my gym schedule,
and I've been spending a lot more time outside running and walking—
if I'm able to exercise at all.
Especially with the holidays coming up, it's time to get fit.
Running. Walking. Lifting. Cycling. Swimming. Personal training. Calisthenics. Dancing.
Pick your poison and just do it.
Who's with me?
Here's our plan.
We're doing the 10-20-30.
1. Pick one intense exercise (sets of stairs, burpees, pullups, box jumps, etc.). Do it 10-times.
2. Pick one strength exercise (squat, lat pulldown, pushup, etc.). Do it 20-times.
3. Pick one high-rep exercise (crunches, mountain climbers, jumping jacks, etc.). Do it 30-times.
Now—repeat the ENTIRE set 10-times.
I have about 60 of these mini-workouts hand-written on a sheet I take with me to the gym.
They all are super-intense, but my favorite is usually a burpee (with a pushup & jump)/squat/crunch combo.
I like to focus each big set so that I hit each muscle group: upper body, lower body, core.
But—the beauty of this workout is that it can be done at the gym OR at home.
No weights or equipment required!
You know what that means? No slacking.
December 1, here we come!

December 1st is a good day.. Your wedding day and my birthday :) I, too, am going to get my butt in gear and get fit this month! 10-20-30, Let's do this!!
xo, oolalalauren.
I'd love to join, but holy smokes, your 10-20-30 sounds really intense! Burpees feel so good but kill me! Haha.
ONE MONTH! AHHHHHHHHHHH! :)
You have just motivated me to be more fit this month! I have been very minimally working on being healthy, but with little determination. But now - looks like I might have found some of that for myself! I am going to join the 10-20-30 routine, but I'll have to ease my way up the harder combo's you'll be doing! Good luck!
Aunie I love reading your posts everyday! It is something that I look forward to everyday and your blog is something that i wish mine was. I sttive for this. But I agree with getting into better shape! My wedding is in Sept of 2013 so I have a while but I am now getting ahead of it!
That is so awesome!I usually do classes at the Y, but this is great for vacations or days when the gym is just NOT happening. And I love your photos, the different perspectives are so cool!
that is a great set! i think i could manage adding that to my regime! hope you share more of your 10-20-30's!
its getting close! how exciting! and i love the different angles in your pictures.
What a wonderfully simple idea! I love it and I'm in! I've actually just decided to turn over a new leaf, where it comes to my diet and exercise. So this is perfectly timed! Exciting abou your wedding, the last month can be full on! just take time to enjoy life!
10-20-30, I like it!
Woo-hoo only 30 more days!
these work out pics are inspirational! you can do it, 30 days is a breeze!
xxS
30 DAYS!! WOWEE!!
:) :)
phew, I'm so needing this after all that candy yesterday!:-) xoxo
I have only 17 days until my wedding and I totally got up this morning and exercised by bootay off! :)
Clearly I need an exercise education because I have no idea what a burpee is.
But the photo's are very inspirational. I need to get back into a good workout habit.
And I squealed a little at the photo where you're wearing one of my headbands.
that's so awesome that you have so much motivation! I wish I had that. I need a personal trainer to push me! I can't believe it's only a month away!
You're so motivating :) I've been working on being able to run 3 miles in 30 minutes by the time I go home for Christmas. I've been eating..better but not great. I don't think I've lost weight, or much, but I'm starting to feel better in my own clothes. And that's a start I think. I think this is a good plan. I know you made a little workout for me before and I'm going to dig it up and try it out. Thanks for motivating me :) Can't wait to see the dresss!!!!
I felt exactly the same for my own wedding. I loved the way my dress fit, I just wanted my arms to be a bit more toned and to feel good! Good luck!

hm... this post is kinda making me feel like i am a flabby weakling who hasn't worked out in a while, you on the other hand are looking like a studmuffin!
you look amazing! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ONLY 30 DAYS AWAY!!!!! so excited for you :)
This looks lovely! I would love to recreate this in my home. Where did you get your tree blocks and mirror blocks? Links to where such toys can be purchased would be a great help. MyKidsGuide
Oh wow, this got every one going- fascinating input mixed with a good read. Revoluza Signup
I should try this when I'm pressed for time! I'm great with a daily workout until the holidays come, and then I just peter out because I'm so busy!
Oh Martha, the best thing about this workout is that (for me, anyway) it doesn't get boring! It's the perfect "in a pinch" workout :)
