Hiya, friends! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was great – packed with all things Colorado: breweries, friends, hikes, food, and fitness.

Today I want to talk to you about that last component – FITNESS. It’s obvious that fitness is a huge gigantic part of my life. Being a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, I live it all day, every day One question all my clients seem to ask me is: Do you ever find it hard to train yourself after training clients all day? The honest answer? Sometimes yes, but only if I don’t put the creativity and thought into making my workouts fun.

One sure fire way to motivate myself to workout is by creating a FUNctional workout. Although lifting takes up the bulk of my workouts, I love doing functional workouts (think boot camp) to spice things up, and get a little cardiovascular conditioning in there as well.

So when Puma challenged me to to design a FUN workout while trying out some of their workout apparel, it was a no brainer: a functional fitness workout!

As always, please discuss any diet or exercise changes with your doctor.

This workout hits both strength and conditioning. It’s designed to be a full body workout that will both give your muscles a great (endurance) strength workout as well as get your heart-rate pumping! Who needs a treadmill for cardio?! Just jump around! Here’s a quick little break down of the exercises:

Now that the hard work is done, let’s talk clothes

The Ribbed Performance Tank Top – I love this tank and am planning on grabbing another one (with the 20% off discount going on RIGHT NOW – plus free shipping for orders over $49!) It’s plenty long, lies perfectly flat on my stomach/hips, and has nice thick straps. It’s one of my go-to tanks when I’m training clients and I want to look nice and professional.

Performance Bodywear Tech ACTV Long Tights – these tights are seriously like a second skin. They’re compression tights with interior taping to work with the body’s natural systems. Basically, it lends a big hand during demanding workouts, and make your legs feel awesome!

Formlite XT Ultra Fluo Women’s Training Shoes – these shoes are so light and flexible! You can literally bend them in half and pack them up. They also fit like a glove and are super bright, which I love.

You can find them all on the Puma website and take advantage of their semi-annual sale, which gets you an extra 20% off of sale items (the ribbed tank is on sale, cough cough!) You also get free shipping on orders over $49.

Have you worn Puma apparel before?

What do you rely on to make workouts fun?
