Well, hello there!
Please excuse the late appearance today. I know it’s Workout Wednesday – and I’m particularly anxious to share a workout with you – but I’ve been a busy bee working “behind the scenes.” I’ve been giving the blog an early Fall facelift with the help of some of my favorite blends (blog + friends). There are a few more design tweaks/updates in the works, so stay tuned for those!
>> Nutrition Nut Updates
- new Contact Page — say hello!
- new Press Page & self-made Media Kit — very exited about this addition!
- revised About Me Page and photos — I was due for a new headshot.
& now, for a new Wednesday workout…
I was pretty excited when I noticed a new 12lb. medicine ball in our workout equipment repertoire. Thanks to the roommate, our “home gym” is growing!
What You’ll Need
- 1 medicine ball, 6-15lb.
Exercises
- plie jump squats: hold medicine ball with both hands in the center of your chest
- cross-body chops
- uneven push-ups
- russian twists
- v-ups: hold medicine ball with both hands
Notes
- plie jump squats: to modify, eliminate the jump
- cross-body chops: perform 12 reps on each side (24 reps total)
- uneven push-ups: alternate between right and left arm (12 reps total) // to modify, perform on your knees
- russian twists: 1 rep = right and left
Do you have a favorite medicine ball exercise(s)?

This looks like an awesome workout! I don’t often work with a medicine ball, but I often use one for Russian twists.
I did a burpee pyramid and ab workout this Workout Wednesday! It was a good one :)
Workout Wednesday concluded with a 20-minute Metabolic Effect Spark workout. In, out and done in less than 30 minutes!
Gorgeous pics – so muscular and strong!
This looks like my next workout!
Hillary, you look SO good! I’m totally jealous of your muscular bod! On Wednesday, I did some incline walking, PT exercises, and some core work! My favorite medicine ball exercise is Russian twists. I love the burn!
LOVE the new headshot and all of the pictures, actually! Gorge. I rarely use medicine balls because I only know like one thing to do with them, so this is awesome.
Nice muscular arms! This workout is perfect for lunchtime workouts, my topic of choice today for my blog!
Love the photos!
You look amazing, Hillary! Seriously, I’m buying whatever you’re selling.
Speaking of which, I really need to buy a kettlebell and a medicine ball so I can participate in some of your workouts. They’re clearly doing a great job.
I love the new blog updates, too. Can’t wait to see what’s next! :)
Thanks, Sarah! :) I’ve been enjoying the new “home gym” thing.
