Sweat & Snack Series: Bodyweight Workout with Strawberry Banana Trail Mix Collagen Bars

{ NEW COOKING VIDEO }

It’s back!! Today I have another workout video for you guys! And it comes with a protein-filled snack to enjoy afterwards! If you haven’t seen my Sweat & Snack Series yet, I have two videos so far to check out! First I have my Greek Yogurt Protein Fudgsicles & Loop Band Workout and then I also have my Exercise Band Workout with Chocolate Walnut Brownie Energy Balls! If you haven’t noticed yet, all three of these workouts can be done ANYWHERE with limited equipment. And I promise you, you’ll still be exhausted and sore afterwards! And today, all you need is your lovely body! That’s it!

So here’s how the workout looks – 

1. Turn on a running clock. You’ll want to keep an eye on the clock because you’ll be working for 40 seconds then resting for 20 seconds.
2. Each round consists of 4 movements. You’ll do 40 seconds of as many bulgarian split squats as possible on your right leg. Then rest for 20 seconds. Then you’ll complete as many push ups as possible in 40 seconds with your feet elevated then rest for 20 seconds. Then same thing with bulgarian split squats on your left leg. And you’ll finish the round off with as many tuck jumps as possible in 40 seconds. You will repeat this 4 more times.
3. Keep track of how many reps you do on the first round and try to stay consistent with those numbers throughout the entire workout.

For modifications and tips –

• For the bulgarian split squats – You can keep your back foot on the ground instead of a bench and simple bend the back knee and lightly kiss the knee – this is called a split squat.
• For push ups – Push ups can be done with feet on the ground or knees on the ground. The point of a push up is to use your arms, chest and back, not your entire body to simply flop on and off the ground. So tuck the chin, engage the core (tuck in the abs), and tuck the elbows in. I’d rather you do less push ups with perfect form than more push ups with sh*tty form. Practice makes perfect with push ups so stay consistent and be patient and form will come over time.
• For the tuck jumps – If tuck jumps aren’t working for you, you can always do high knees or jumping squats as an alternative.

Try this workout and let me know what you think! And in the meantime, whip up a batch of these bars! They are incredibly filling so you don’t need much, which means it’s great to have around the house when you need just a little pick-me-up in the afternoon or after your workout! Can’t wait to hear from you guys once you give this workout a go!
