Hi friends! How are ya? How’s the week going so far?? I’m so excited that spring is officially here, and I have a full fitness plan just for you: a mix of cardio, strength, flexibility, interval training and rest.
When I posted this fall fitness plan, the response was really amazing, so I thought it was time to share another full plan for you. This one has all of the work scheduled out for you, with all of the workouts below. Pin this post for later when you’re looking for some gym-spiration, or if you’re looking for a full balanced plan to follow. As always, talk with a doctor before making any fitness changes and honor your body. Modify and shuffle as needed!
Spring fitness plan:
Weekly schedule:
Sunday: Upper body and steady state
Monday: HIIT
Tuesday: OFF or gentle
Wednesday: Lower body and core

Friday: Total body workout

*Steady state: 20-30 minutes of your favorite cardio at a moderate pace you can maintain for the entire block. You can run, walk, jog, spin, Stairclimb or dance.

Go for an easy walk, enjoy a stretch, or take a restorative yoga class. I also love this stretch sequence (video), bedtime stretch, and this afternoon stretch.
To mix and match: check out all of the workouts on my fitness page! If you’re looking for upper body, total body, lower body, or core, you can click the links to each one to sub in one of these workouts and change things up.
Leave a comment below with a spring fitness goal!! I’ll pick a lucky winner for a Lorna Jane tank top of their choice.
Also, I hope you’ll join me for our upcoming barre bootcamp! I’m trying to figure out a date for the official launch, so please let me know if you prefer mid-April or late April. If you’d like to be one of the first to find out (there are only 100 spots), be sure to sign up for my newsletter below (where it says “I want in!”).
Happy spring!! <3
