Sidney's At Home 10 Minute Ab Workout

First off, new workout clothes calls for a new workout post! How cute are these new sports bras we each just got from Public Myth!? Regan's pants are from there as well! They have awesome stuff for great deals. Check out their website! 

Sports bras, Pants

Below is Sidney's killer at home 10 minute ab workout. In her words "this workout will probably be way too hard for normal people" (she's obviously super humble ;) so you can also cut everything in half and do it in 5 minutes if you want! Don't feel bad if you do either. Sometimes we swear Sidney is not human!

10 minute Ab Workout:

2 minutes: Plank

2 minutes: Cherry Pickers

2 minutes: Slow Bicycles

2 minutes: Kick Outs

1 minute: Left Side Plank 

1 minute: Right Side Plank

To cut it in half, just do the first four for 1 minute and the last 2 for 30 seconds each! Here is a video of the entire workout:

Juice up! 3 day Juice Cleanse Reviews...

When Sidney returned from her mission she decided to try one of the recently popular 3 day juice cleanses. After eating off the streets of Indonesia for 18 months, she returned home with a lot of digestive issues and about 10 lbs of extra weight. She started right back in on a workout plan to get back in shape, and decided to try a 3 day juice cleanse to kick start a healthy eating plan, body detoxification, and weight loss....

The first juice cleanse she tried was the 3 day Suja cleanse. Suja juices are all organic and cold pressed, and this company is based out of California. You can find their 3 day juice cleanse boxed and for sale at many Costo's in CA for an amazing price of $22.99. There are 3 juices for each day, and Sidney did this cleanse without any additional food.

The morning juice is a spicy lemon, cayenne paper mix which is actually not bad tasting but pretty spicy. The afternoon drink is a vegetable and greens mix, which is not great tasting but not terrible either. The third drink is something to look forward to and is a delicious mix of almond milk, mashed banana and coconut meat. Tastes likes a treat! After 3 days Sidney felt great! She still had plenty of energy, her digestive problems were better, and she had lost 6 pounds. Below are her before and after pictures from a couple days after she returned home from her mission, to just 10 days later, after the juice cleanse.

After having such great results with her first cleanse, when Sidney visited Utah a couple weeks later, she decided to do another 3 day cleanse, this time with Regan. This time we tried juices that were custom made from home by DI.Vine Juice. These juices are a little more pricey, but are sooo good! It was hard to believe we were drinking vegetables! We actually had to call and ask if there was any added sugar because the juices were all so sweet! The only one that had any sweetener (agave) was the Chia Lime, which was our fav! You can choose the juices you want from the variety on the website, and can also choose your difficulty level, meaning the harder you go, the more veggies and spices are added compared to fruits. These juices were in smaller bottles, so there were six of them for each day. We each lost about four pounds on this cleanse.

We would highly recommend a 3 day juice cleanse! It's not hard to make it through the 3 days, and there are so many benefits! This is a way to give your body a good detox and flood it with nutrients, while helping to reset bad eating habits and curb cravings. The weight loss is a good confidence builder and jump start into a long term healthy eating plan. It's also so easy to stay on the plan for 3 days when the juices are already there and ready! It was a nice three day break from planning meals! We would highly recommend either of these 3 day plans! Happy juicing :)

Workout Essentials

Hey guys! We wanted to share a little goodness today and show you an awesome new full body workout we've been doing. Our cousin Trevor, who plays for the NY Jets and learned the workout from his trainer, recently showed it to us and we love it! It's quick, easy, and perfect if you're on the go :)

We're also sharing some basic workout essentials we can't live without! Our must-haves are listed below. And YES they are in order of importance ;)

1. A cute workout outfit…of course.

A good outfit somehow always gives us the motivation to get our workout on. There's just something about knowing you have a cute (preferably new) workout outfit waiting for you that get's us into the gym. These pants and tank tops are from Honey badger Housewife and we love them!

2. A quality pair of headphones or earbuds.

You guys HAVE to check out JLab Audio. Paige's white & gold earbuds are so so comfortable, and stay in amazingly well, and Regan's bluetooth headphones are seriously incredible. Listening to some good tunes during a workout is most definitely a priority for us. Which brings us to our next essential...

3. Go to workout jams. Here are our top 5. If you don't have these on your list, add them. Trust us!

-Runaway (U & I) by Galantis

-Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn Remix Radio Edit) by Omi

-Hey Mama (feat. Nicki Minaj & Afrojack) by David Guetta

-The Nights by Avicii

-Finally by Mr Belt & Wezol

4. Energy!

These little Energy Orbz give us just the caffeine boost we need to make it through our workout. Stay tuned on Instagram for a giveaway coming soon! You have to try these babies!

5. A good hair tie that does the job but won't damage your hair!

We recently discovered The Koil hair ties. They seriously make such a difference in the hold and comfort they give compared to regular elastic hair ties. 

6. Dumbbells. You can use these for so many great workouts that are quick right from home! Our new favorite is the one shown below!

Turkish Get up

This is the exercise we mentioned earlier that our cousin Trevor taught us. We like this it because it's quick, and we can get our entire workout done in one shot ;) Look up Turkish Get up on YouTube for a better idea of how to do this. Do 10 reps on each side holding a weight. 

More workouts coming soon! Our third sister, the fitness guru, comes home from her mission in just 2 weeks!
