GETTING FIT WITH ALBION!
Shoes: Nike (Similar here and here) | Workout Clothes: Albion Fit (leggings and top) |Bar Necklace: Bauble Bar
So lately I have been working out a lot and trying to get ready for bikini season (coming so soon!) I’ve been trying new ways to get my workouts in everyday, and I have been loving Xtend Barre, floor exercises, and lifting light weights. I usually go to my Xtend Barre workout class every morning which I love because it works arms, legs and booty, and abs soo good! Then I try to go to the gym and do weights every day or just every other day. I’ve noticed such a big difference in getting toned faster since I started doing weights! Also, floor exercises are great to do everyday as well and can also be done anywhere! I usually will do them when I’m traveling or come home from a busy day and can’t make it to a workout! Below I demonstrated all my favorite floor mat exercises I do all the time and they work wonders!
I’ve been wearing my Albion Fit workout clothes literally all the time lately and they are soo comfortable and easy to workout in! Not to mention they are super cute and stylish too!!!

Plank- Great for all over body conditioning; especially toning arms and abs!
1. Start by getting into a push up position.
2. Engage your core by sucking your belly button into your spine.
3. Hold a plank for 30 seconds, take a breather, and repeat 4 times
Oblique Twist- This will bring in your waist line and tone your abs!
1. In a sit up position, bring the opposite knee to opposite elbow.
2. Twist your torso to the right side until your arms are parallel with the floor.
3. Do 10 each side for a set of 3!
Donkey Kicks- This tones your booty soo good!
1. Get on all fours on mat (hands under shoulders, knees under hips).
2. Keeping right knee bent 90 degrees, flex right foot and lift knee to hip level.
3. Lower knee without touching floor and bring into your chest. Lift again and do 15 reps.
4. Switch legs; repeat.
Rainbow Butt Kick- Another great booty and hip workout!
1. Start in a push up position and bring a leg out to the side of your mat.
2. Bring it up in a half circle shape or “rainbow” shape up, and up around to the other side of your mat.
3. Do 15 and switch legs for a set of 3 total.
Tricep Dip- Gets rid of flab behind arms and tones!
1. Start in a seated position with your feet touching the floor.
2. Place your hands directly underneath your shoulders so that your fingertips point towards your hips and your elbows point behind you.
3. Lift your hips 9-12 inches off the floor. Your shoulders should be directly over top of your wrists.
4. Bend your elbows directly behind you. Your hips will come closer to the floor as a result of the elbow bend. Then straighten the elbows, without locking them.
5. Start with about 5 and increase over time
Stretching
Be sure to stretch AFTER your workouts, when your muscles are warmed up!
