Another 10 min HIIT! More like 9 mins but it should be quick and get you going. If you are a little masochistic, do it 2 or 3 times...lol. Do each exercise for 45 secs with 15 secs of rest. Repeat 3x. 💪🏿Burpees 💪🏿Jump lunges 💪🏿Front kicks (slow or fast) . . . #eightsnweights #FitTraveler #fitnigeria #nigeria #fitafrica #fitfam #hiit #fitblackmen #fitblackwomen #burpees #circuittraining

#AbsWednesdays is the exercise you love to hate: Pushups. Did you realize that pushups help build a strong core as well? And moving pushups even more. Remember to keep your back straight and keep a smile on your face 🙂 as you do 3 rounds of 10. Knees are fine! Who is doing pushups? . . . #eightsnweights #fitblackmen #fitnessmotivation #fitblackwomen #fitnigeria #nigeria #fitnaija #motivation #inspiration #abs #sixpack

Get your bum working with this quick leg day routine to start up Monday. If you have ankle weights, definitely use them for more burn. Please stay slow and controlled with these movements (especially the first one). Let me be loud for a sec. I see people do it wrong all the time just swinging their legs up and down putting the tension in the lower back rather than keeping the abs and glutes tight and doing it slowly to keep the tension in the glutes. Be deliberate. Do 3 rounds of work with 50 secs on and 10 secs off of each exercise. Rest when your bum can take no more! . . . #eightsnweights #FitTraveler #fitnigeria #nigeria #fitafrica #fitfam #bootyworkout #glutes #motivation #muscle

Bonjour Montreal! Found this great yoga studio where they tore my body up but felt good after. A dad was there with his 7 or 8 year old and she was shaming people with her dedication 😂 What are/were your weekend workout plans? . . . #eightsnweights #FitTraveler #fitnigeria #nigeria #fitafrica #fitfam #yogi #yogisofig #yoga #nigeriantraveller #nigerianyogis #naijanomads #tripzapp #split #fitblackwomen #fitblackmen

#AbsWednesdays is this slow bent and straight plank. Looks easy? Try it first 😝 The great thing about this is that your abs are working even in such a simple step up-step back movement. Try for 3 sets of 20 reps. Abs tight and no bum sagging!

#AbsWednesdays and we have a few variations on the forearm plank. If a plank is very challenging already, stay there. Otherwise, try putting one foot on top the other or lifting that foot up in the air. Or a combination of all 3! Whatever you choose, hold for 1 minute (or 30 secs per foot), keep your abs tight, and repeat 3 times.

#AbsWednesdays! This “single leg jack knife” really works the abs as you are using those muscles to lift your upper body up. Try these for 3 - 5 sets of 10 reps on each leg.

#AbsWednesdays and we are doing some V-sit variations! Take your pick of the two. The first one is with bent static knees moving your arms slowly. The second calls for moving both your arms and legs. Both require you to tighten your abs so you aren’t just using your lower back. I’m out here doing 5 sets of 30 secs. What are you going to do? . . . #eightsnweights #fitfam #fitspo #FitTraveler #fitnigeria #nigeria #abs #coreworkout #sixpackabs #absworkout #hotelgym

Since Instagram decided to be a struggle, here is #AbsWednesday late late. Start in a plank and rotate into a side plank. To really get those obliques, push into your elbow and lift your body as high as possible so you are not pressing into your shoulder. . 10 on each side for 3 sets! .

Looking for something explosive? Try this Arc Squat to Burpee combo. Land low into a squat (turned to one side) on your heels, jump back into a plank, give me a push-up, and then jump back into a squat turned to the other side. Great for your quads, core, and upper body! Who is trying these today? Another day, another gym in another city 😝 . . . #eightsnweights #burpee #squat #fitnigeria #fitspo #inspiration #motivation #fitnessmotivation #fitblackwomen #fitblackmen #nigeria #naija #FitTraveler

Excited about my @jaybirdsport wireless earphones. With the amount of sweat in my life, my wireless earphones can break pretty fast but I've heard good things. Will try them out and write my thoughts. Do you all have favorite earphones? . . . #FitTraveler #eightsnweights #fitnigeria #nigeria #nigerianrunners #runnersofinstagram #runner #blackgirlsrun #fitafrica #fitfam #abs #weightloss #gymgear
