Working Out With Hanson!

So these past couple of days I have been exercising (which is always a HUGE deal for me!). My routine has been as follows:

 

7:00 AM - Wake Up

7:25-7:30 AM - Take Sparky on a walk

8:00 AM - Get home

8:45-9:00 AM - Treadmill Work-out: Rundown!

9:45-9:50 AM - DONE!

10:00 AM - Breakfast (These past few days I have made a delicious egg sandwich for my breakfast. 2 slices of wheat bread, one cooked egg, cheese and a couple dashes of Cholula sauce, YUM!)

 

The Treadmill Rundown goes like this:

 

STRETCH

Jog 10 straight minutes (NO STOPPING) on a 4.5, incline 1%.

Walk 5 minutes on a 2.5

Jog for 8 minutes (4.5)

Walk 5 minutes (2.5)

Jog for 6 minutes (4.5)

Walk 5 minutes (2.5)

Jog for 4 minutes (4.5)

Walk 5 minutes (2.5)

Jog for 2 minutes (4.5)

Walk 5 minutes (2.5)

Stretch

YOU'RE DONE!!

 

I got this work-out from the lovely Olivia Ward (winner of season 11's Biggest Loser!) over at their youtube channel Myfitspiration. Check them out! They are a HUGE motivation to me.

 

Anyway, I've been pretty proud of myself for doing this. I ran two days in a row and my legs are pretty sore but hey, it's a good kind of sore. I was able to do the whole rundown without stopping ONCE (even though I was DYING after running for only 10 minutes.....I have no where to go but UP from here.)

 

The reason why this post is entitled 'Working Out with Hanson!' is because, obviously I listen to STRAIGHT Hanson while running! (And on my walks, though I do listen to some other stuff....but mostly Hanson). They have some awesome stuff to run too. Below is my Hanson playlist (some of the songs I run and walk to):

 

RUNNING SONGS:

(songs that keep me pumped while running)

 

Fired Up - Anthem

Already Home - Anthem

Cut Right Through Me - Anthem

This Time Around - This Time Around

Dying to be Alive - This Time Around (REALLY inspiring and motivating song, I LOVE it!)

In The City - This Time Around

Lost Without Each Other - Underneath

Get Up and Go - Underneath

Running Man - The Walk

 

WALKING SONGS:

(songs to listen to while taking the 5 minute walk)

 

Save Me - This Time Around

Love Song - This Time Around

Wish I Was There - This Time Around

A Song to Sing - This Time Around

Underneath - Underneath

When You're Gone - Underneath

Believe - Underneath

 

And there's still even more songs I've yet to experience working out to! These are just the songs I've done the past two days. Hanson has YEARS of music to choose from and it never gets old. I'm going to get fit because of Hanson! If I ever find myself in an actual 5K sometime in the future, my playlist will consist of.....you guessed it, HANSON!

 

PLUS: I'm going to try learning THIS dance :) It's awesome! Not only has Hanson given me a reason to smile, laugh, feel inspired and just be happy, now they're helping me get in shape! How thoughtful of them ;)
