June ✅ Summary!

June's Fitness Routine was all about lower body endurance while keeping every exercise travel-friendly. Whether you're at home, on vacation, or working out with minimal equipment, this routine can easily be adapted to fit your schedule.

Here's a breakdown of my exercises:

1️⃣ Standing march x 60s.
A core and hip-focused movement that challenged endurance, balance, and control while keeping my abs engaged the entire time. I used a single 15 lb. dumbbell throughout the month and progressed in week three by adding a light resistance band around my feet.

2️⃣ Single bent over row x 60s ea.
A classic but highly effective back exercise. I used a 15 lb. dumbbell and focused on slowing each rep down, engaging my core, and synchronizing my breathing with every lift.

3️⃣ Clamshell kick x 60s ea.
An excellent lower body exercise that targeted my glutes, outer thighs, and obliques. I started with a light resistance band and progressed to a medium resistance band during week three.

4️⃣ Side lunge to crunch x 60s ea.
A total body burner that combined lower body strength with core engagement in one powerful movement. I kept my dumbbell at 15 lbs. throughout the month and increased the challenge by adding a medium resistance band around my thighs.

⏱ 35 minutes including warm up and cool down.

💪 June reminded me that you don't need a complicated workout to make progress. Consistency, simple equipment, and gradual progression are more than enough to keep moving toward your goals.

🔥 January ✅ Summary! 🔥

January was all about starting the year with intention, structure, and consistency. Having one clear routine to follow removed the guesswork and made it easier to show up, stay focused, and build momentum week after week. The Fitness Calendar continued to be a huge part of keeping me accountable and consistent throughout the month.

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

What stood out 👇
1️⃣ Bicycle crunch: A strong core focused move that challenged endurance and control while keeping the abs engaged the entire time. I progressed by adding speed without compromising form.

2️⃣ Modified push ups: A great upper body challenge that built strength gradually. At the two week mark, I had to use handles so my wrist won't feel overworked. My dumbbells used in my 4th exercise were a great option here.

3️⃣ Curtsy lunges: An effective lower body move that targeted the glutes and legs while also improving balance and stability. The x- heavy resistance band was needed for this one. 🔥

4️⃣ Bicep curls to plank: A total body burner that combined strength and core engagement in one powerful movement. The weight of my dumbbells varied between 12 lbs. and 17.5 lbs.

⏱ 30 minute routine including warm up and cool down

🏆 Completing January reminds me why I continue to train Monday through Friday. My goal is always to move my body consistently, and the added strength, confidence, and physical changes are an incredible bonus. This routine set the tone for the rest of the year and reinforced that consistency truly works.

💡 As the new year gets underway, I am carrying this momentum forward. January is also the final month I will be sharing my fitness routine graphics for free on social media. Starting in February, all monthly routines will be available through the 2026 Fitness Calendar, which is now available in my Etsy shop.
