Workout
Fat burning workout & OIAJ
My day started out with a BANG…thats because I got to sleep in-finally! I have been opening (5am) at work for about a week straight! and today I had the closing shift, which means I had to be there at 11:30. I slept till 8 and made breakfast in my PJ’s! (the best way to do it in my opinion)
Perfection
Almost as good as Ryan R…..Oats in a Jar. Perfection at its finest.
This fueled me for my spin class. It was awesome, great tunes and packed class makes Naomi one happy girl! I always love when the class is packed, it makes me work much harder for some reason. I came home and whipped up this berry berry smoothie for the road!
- handful cherry mix from TJ’s
- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 C cottage cheese
- 1/2 C almond milk
- ice/water
Arnold thin w/ romaine, purple onion, LC, turkey breast, peanut butter hummus
side salad with roasted red pepper dressing
Snack time of Fage and apple!
with some Kays Apple Cinnamon Cereal-now thats a snack
munched on this apple pie Larabar before I taught a spin class at work! (2nd spin class of the day!!)
SPIN was great, I had a awesome playlist and it fueled us straight for 45 minutes. I got thinking about packing a great workout into a short period of time. People ask me all the time for workouts that hit all body parts, keep their heart rate up BUT only have 45 minutes
Workout Tip of the day!
Do you find yourself crunched for time at the gym? Do you tend to blow off a workout if you only have a half hour? Think again! Personally if I know I am short on time at the gym, I make sure my workout is intense and heart racing so I squeeze in everything I can. This routine minimizes movement around the entire gym going from machine to machine. This workout utilizes dumbbells, a bosu ball, and the medicine ball. That’s it-all you need is some space. Keep your heart rate up and get a great workout with this fat burning routine!
Perform each exercise and rest 10 seconds in between. Rotate through the circuit 2-3 times depending on how much time you have.
Start by jogging in place for a few minutes to warm up
Plank On Bosu Ball
Squat on Bosu ball holding medicine ball
Shoulder press (stand on bosu)
Lunge on bosu (front on Bosu and back on the front)
Tricep Overhead press, stand on bosu
Step up’s on bench
Rear delt raise
Push up’s on bench
All together now
- Warm up
- plank on bosu ball-hold 1 minute
- Squat on bosu ball holding medicine ball
- shoulder press standing on bosu ball
- Front & Back lunge on bosu
- Tricep overhead press standing on bosu
- Step up’s on bench
- Rear delt raise (stand on bosu
- Push up on bench
Repeat 2-3 Times, 15-20 reps each exercise
***Do you have a ‘go to’ workout when you are short on time?***
ENJOY!
Watching Biggest loser and bed time!
GOODNIGHTTT

I just tried Zumba for the first time tonight and liked it fine (sweated like crazy) but I really want to fall in love with spin and get over the intimidation.
I love seeing you doing your workouts, that’s awesome!!!!! And great info, too!
The TJs Valencia PB….I have heard great things bout that stuff. Guess you liked it if you polished off the jar 🙂 I need to try it!
xxoo
The picture of Ryan Reynolds didn’t come through! He is so hot, OMG!
Great workout tips too! I always try to squeeze some sort of workout in when I can!
love the workout photos. i’m trying to find a good deal on a gym right now, cause working out at my schools gym doesnt work out in my schedule!
Biggest Loser was so intense last night! ahhh i can’t wait till next week for the finale! EEEEK! 🙂
xoxo girl!
oh! great workout tips girl!
i wiiiish i could take your spin class! i love when classes are packed they totally have a better vibe 🙂
wow, working the 5 am shift sounds like HELL to me, really. Actually I had to be up at 5 this morning, which is earlier than I have ever woken up (aside from when catching a plane maybe) and so far Ihaven’t died…
I’m glad you got to sleep in though!
I like your suggestion about making it really count when you only have 30 minutes. I did that yesterday, knowing it would be my last workout for a couple days. I pushed myself REALLY hard and I made sure to sweat sweat sweat! It felt great.
Great workout idea!! I hate having to run around the gym looking for different machines to use haha!
go girl, go! Awesome tips and pictures to show the moves.
and I need to buy that pb the next time I get to go to TJs!
I spy a gala apple aka best kind EVER! 😉
That workout looks fantastic! Thanks for all of the pictures too. Bosus are so much fun to use!
ooo love your workout post! nice goin girl!
Looks like a fab workout miss! I need to get my hands on one of those bosu balls…so late to the game!
I’m so depressed none of my oat jars are near empty! Maybe I should pick up some random jar and half fill it with peanut butter?
DANGSKY! LOVE me some Ryan Reynolds!!!!! YUM!
umm… pb hummus?? where have you been all my life? and, is it as glorious as it sounds?
Hi Naomi,
I just found your blog and enjoyed reading through it. I am going to give strength training on bosu ball.
Great workout tips!! Thanks so much! Wow! 2 spin classes. Awesome! I bet that felt great. Looks like osme good eats too to get you through the day. Have a fabulous day!
RR is my screen saver…he is a perfect specimen…grrrrr
I need to invest in a bosu ball
Love all the workout photos!! I feel like I should print this post out! I’ve never tried a bosu ball before but heard they are great!
Great workout! I love the bosu ball!
Glad you got to sleep in finally 🙂
Thanks for posting these moves. I have never known what those bosu balls were for/ what to do with them. Now I do!
Holy guacamole, that was some great eye candy!!! LOL!
Thanks for sharing those moves!
Awesome workout girl! You’re giving Jillian a run for her money. When can I buy your workout dvd?
You need to be in a fitness magazine! You look great, thanks for sharing!! OIAJ = THE BEST!! 🙂
YAY! You are fixed now in my google reader!! 🙂
have I told you yet that I love your little namoi sig icon?
man I don’t have a bosu ball but you really make me want one!
Hi Naomi,
I just found your blog through some of the other healthy living blogs, and I’m really enjoying it. I love those workout tip pics…I’m always looking for new strength moves to do!
hot damn, that is one serious workout! I wonder if Ryan Reynolds uses the bosu ball 😉 swoooooooooon.
I often run specifically because I always feel a lack of time. Running makes me feel good in a short amount of time.
Love the hottie at the top 🙂
I need to get acquainted with the bosu! Looks so versatile and useful!
Um, WHERE is that Ryan Reynolds photo from?! Yummy.
i do a tabata shitload for a quickie. that and burpees.
um yeah. naner and pb. AWESOMEST snack ever. i have been deprived.
=D
wednesday= a BIT better than tuesday- tuesday turned out better than i thought- i’ll tell you why LATERZ!
how you doing girl? love the pictures. bosus. love em. hate em. love hate relationship
Yeah, I use the BOSU in the clinic with my higher-end patients for balance and stuff. Planks on it with the flat side up (and then rocking it in different directions is good too!)…now if only I did it haha 🙁 yah not cool…I just can’t get into weights and stuff…oye.Even when I have ‘no time’…like when I’m watching TV or procrastinating majorly!!! oye again…
nice post chica! i have you on my blog roll – add me if you have one…and if you read…andddd if yo want haha 🙂
Nomers I love your pics! Your blog is SO wonderful. Miss you on O2 but I am following you here regularly! 🙂
love the picture guide, very helpful! You ROCK!
Great workout! When I’m short on time, I usually just run on the treadmill for 30 minutes. But this sounds & looks like a lot more fun! 🙂
Just curious — who took the picture while you cranked it out? Hee hee! You look super sporty and chic!
GREAT workout girl! Don’t you love the bosu? You can do so many things with it. Glad you got to sleep in= fabulous! I wanted to get that TJs valencia PB so bad and they didn’t have it at the TJs I went too 🙁
Gotta love a morning when you can catch up on some Zzzz’s! 🙂
Seriously great tips here Naomi. I think there are times when we all get a little burnt out and need more structure in a time crunch. Great ideas!
xxoo
Heather
Thanks! That was interesting!
Oh and your pictures of perfection weren’t half bad either! 😉
Those are great tips, thanks!
I do similar workouts when I’m short on time–I’d love to get a Bosu Ball!
Great workout tips!
And I’d love to see what’s on your playlist. (have you posted it before?) I need new music to get me pumped!
Oats in a jar and Ryan Reynolds… double yum.
I love the quick workout you detailed in this post. Thanks for the tips!
HOORAY for sleeping in! and for OIAJ. i am almost able to have some.. couple more batches of oats. that is a great quick circuit workout~love it! love my bosu ball. i wish i had some medicine balls though. when i am short on time i will switch my weight days for HIIT days. i like lonnnng weight training!
When I’m short on time, I just force myself to make sure I’m doing more of a circuit training and I don’t rest as much between moves. Normally, I rest 20-30 seconds between sets but when I am strapped for time, rest periods are 0-10 seconds. It makes for a much more effective and heart racing workout too!
PS. Keep up the work on your blog. It’s awesome!
