2014 POWER circuit workout & Goodbye 2013

1 January, 2014 by Giselle Rochford 17 Comments

Hey There Friends! How’s it goin?

I hope everyone enjoyed dawn of the New Year! I had pretty low key plans and just enjoyed the night at home with my family. There was champagne and fireworks involved though, so it was a good night πŸ˜‰

Before I do a quick recap of 2013, I wanted to share this awesome 2014 themed power circuit workout with you!

2014 POWER Circuit Workout

Now that 2013 is officially over, it’s time to kick start 2014 (fitness-wise) and I’ve got the perfect power circuit workout to do that for you πŸ˜€

20 exercises. 14 reps each.

I’m definitely gonna do it later today to get started on living a #healthyfit2014! πŸ˜€

    It’s almost your one year blogiversary! How exciting!!! Make sure you post about it that day (because I’m sure I’ll forget by then, lol) so we can celebrate with you! Anyway, it looks like 2013 was an awesome one for you πŸ˜€ …I hope 2014 is even BETTER!

    What am I looking forward to most in 2014? I honestly don’t think I can pick one thing. This will be my first year without an “official” job or being in school since…well pretty much ever, so I feel like the year is wide open for me to make it as awesome as I want! For the first time in my life, I feel like I’m in complete and total control of it. So maybe the thing I’m looking forward to the most about 2014 is December 31st, when I can reflect on its awesomeness and find ways to make 2015 even better. Is that weird? That feels like a weird thing to say, like I’m wishing the year away. I’m not really wishing it away, I’m just quite anxious to see what it has in store for me!

      I honestly don’t think it’s weird. I actually think you’re almost guaranteeing that you have an awesome 2014 because you’re sending out great ‘vibes’ and already looking forward to MAKING it a great year! πŸ˜€ I can’t wait to see you Dec 31, 2014 post and all the amazing things you accomplished πŸ™‚

    Happy New Year! Love that you kept it healthy during the holidays. I did not. lol. I ate everything in sight. Small consolation – I was in the gym at 5am every morning as my neighbourhood gym does not close for public holidays and I felt if people were being forced to work on Christmas Day, then there should be patrons to make it feel worthwhile. Well, no, that was not the reason. I simply needed to go. lol. Best of luck for the new year!

      Happy New Year to you too! It’s great that you managed to get to the gym πŸ™‚ I was limited to at home workouts but I still felt the burn which was good! I also love your motivation for going to the gym on Christmas Day…don’t think I could be that ‘selfless’ lol

    Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established
    blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog?
    I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
    I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions?
    Thanks
