I figured this week’s theme was Tummy Talk so might as well keep it rollin’, right? I found this lovely poster on pinterest (of course) and just had to share. Yoga has been my primary source of stretching and digesting but let’s face it, sometimes we need a quick fix for the ‘ol tum tum.
Let me know if you’ve tried these.
I bet this chart would be useful for traveling too. You know, the travelers tummy? I must prep for that! We are leaving in ONE MONTH!!! Whoa, where did time go? So much to do in so little time.
Speaking of little time, here is today’s 30 minute Thursday. Tabatas are SUPER EFFECTIVE if you do it right. Let me know if you try it. I did part of this Tuesday with my class and am still sore. Luckily I can still do these workouts 1x a week with no stomach problems. For that I am THANKFUL!

Alyssa @ Life of bLyss recently posted..Breaking News
i know, good stuff! well sore is good when you can at least move your arms. LOL!
Love interval training!!! It is probably one of my favorites!
Great stretch chart as well!
Gen recently posted..Spinning and Guests
you’ve been doing a lot of intervals lately, good job Gen!
tabata all the way!! mostly in my spin classes and on the treadmill
Sam recently posted..Rich’s Ride
perfect for spin class. good stuff Sam!
those stretches are great – too bad they dont work
i eat candy and chocolate while doing the back bend things. and after doing the other back bend things, i eat an entire pizza 
Kim K recently posted..October, And the Trees are Stripped Bare
LOL! totally thought of you here. I wondered if you ever tried them and it actually made your stomach worse. haha. Hey how was book club?
Can’t believe its only a month away!!!
Hope you have a great day love! xoxo
katie recently posted..Dreaming of { PINK }
thanks friend. would be better with STRAWBERRY PUFFS. haha, got it right this time. Maybe i will buy the zin tonight too!
I guess I’ve never seen or heard of the Little method and have done the last one but didn’t know what it was called. I really enjoy Tabata and HIIT workouts and need to bring them back into my workout world.
Wow – 1 month????
Heather (Where’s the Beach) recently posted..Last Training Run & Barley with Tomatoes and Broccoli
yes, bring them back. after this weekend of course. Oh so excited for you! how do you feel?
We do Tabatas at the “office” sometimes – they are KILLER. No joke!! we did squats two weeks ago and I was like uh-ohh…. (Squats kill me, every time).
One month!!
Heather @ Dietitian on the Run recently posted..TTT: I meant it when I said it
oh ya, squats burn bad! so…
ready to rumble this weekend? yea!!!
Ah, tabata! Challenging and satisfying (when you’re done!)…
Lisa recently posted..Day 3 of Intermittent Fasting (but I’d rather call it delayed eating)
haha, totally. it kills during it. that burn in your lungs is good though, right?
I just wrote this down! I am going to try this tonight!! Funny…I just pinned this “push it” exercise a couple of days agO! I would love to have her abs!!
Danielle recently posted..Three Things Thursday, Baking, Racing and a Recipe!
sweeeet! keep posted on how it goes danielle. love that you pinned it.
1 month!!! so exciting!
Lou recently posted..blueberries for Babe, not bacon
i know!! kiora, did i get that right?
oh you KNOW i am all about those stretches! thank you for posting this, love!
janetha recently posted..diet disasters in disguise.
yes, try it! let me know if it helps. how are things? did you end up buying the probiotic?
Ugh, travelers tummy! I hate that. I need to be better about stretching more and doing yoga. Tony said he would do Tai Chi, but I want him to do yoga with me. This is what happens when your best friend is a dude.
i always try to get james to go to yoga with me. he has gone a few times but doesn’t like the hot yoga like i do. we need to be yoga buddies!
Tabata is the bomb diggity man! I love it…just not while I’m doing it haha
Thanks for posting that stretch diagram too, I’ll definitely be tryin those!
Alexandra recently posted..Shenanigans in Pizza Land
i know! tabata is torture….during! after…..sweet burn. right?
I have yet to try a full tabata workout. I need to. Love this 30 minute Thursday. Great mix of moves, etc.
I haven’t tried many of those yoga moves either. I better get with the program. ha!
Have I told you how fabulous I think you are???????
Kristin @ STUFT Mama recently posted..This is How We Party
what?? how is this possible? Oh girl, you would LOVE IT!! get with the program for sure. oh and I think you are just Fabulous and then some!
Tabata’s kill me every time! I had to do them in gym class last semester… I was soo sore!
Allie recently posted..Love this
totally a sore quick workout. I am more sore from this than from a long run, haha.
we had that same stretching chart on the staff room wall at the clinic!
actually, I think it was one of the pads we had – that we could rip off sheets to give clients. we had a few of those – so cool.
one month – wow, time flies!
Kristina @ spabettie recently posted..cheesy pasta
of course you did. Your clinic had everything. Speaking of, when do we expect a spabettie clinic? I want to come!
oohhh I’m totally stealing this chart!! I like the Turbulence Training best – although, Tabata sounds awesome!
Lindsay @ Lindsay’s List recently posted..thursday’s theme and a few updates
have you not done Tabata? oh wowza momma! that needs to be a TT for sure!
I need to try these stretches!
Rach recently posted..Time for some pumpkin!
i’m going to do them right now. Post dinner! haha.
You’re posts aren’t coming in my reader again! Whats going on?!?!
I love and hate tabatas. I haven’t tried or seen the Turbulence method….but it is very intriguing.
Katie recently posted..Early grab bag: Body Media on SALE
ahh what the crap? not sure why. Sometimes its delayed. Google reader needs to step up. and so do you with the tabata! i have a feeling you’ll LOVE IT!
i’ve been doing tabata sprints on the treadmill and i really like it for beating boredom, keeping my heart rate high, & maximizing time!
tea-bagginit recently posted..cheezy, cheezy, nice & easy
yes, and they are short but sweet. So effective! my lungs burn…in a good way that is. haha.
Brutal workout and great infographic! I’ve been trying to start incorporating just one set of box jumps after every run… I have NO fast twitch muscles left any more!!
Chuck recently posted..Mile 6.5 got really dark…
box jumps scare the crap out of me. haha. I think its because I actually missed a step before and fell. I know, silly isn’t it?! How is everything?? feeling better after that last half, mentally?
I’ve actually never done Tabatas! I’ll give your workout a try on Saturday and let you know how it goes. Horray for new fitness inspiration!
Thank you so much for posting the stretching info-graphic. Like you, I often experience tummy troubles, and these suggestions seem like they’ll offer a nice remedy.
Happy Friday, Lindsay! <3
Sara @ Nourish and Flourish recently posted..Jazzercise Diva + Bacon-Flavored Froyo
I’m totally going to rock this workout tomorrow morning when I wake up
I have a night time snacking fetish that I need to squash so I feel fresh and can wake up earlier to get my fitness in!!!
Any tips on late night snacking???? LOL
xxoo
Kris | iheartwellness.com recently posted..Win A Month Free Coaching With Me
haha, yes. I go to bed early. But actually drinking tea or making a light protein shake always helps me. Ever tried that?
I need to incorporate more stretching into my life, I don’t know why I don’t just do it!!!! UGH.
Jen@FoodFamilyFitness recently posted..Comparing
because it takes time and your time is limited, but I think you’ll like these stretches once you take time to do them. Just one a day!
I’ve done my fair share of circuits and boot camp-style workouts, but I haven’ technically tried tabata. It looks like a really hard workout. I may give it a try tomorrow.
Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers recently posted..Foodie Friday: Cheese Please!
well there is always a first, give it a go TIff! You’ll like it, i know it.
One month?! Make a list of all the places you love to eat and hit them up, a lot:)
I like the interval Little Method, I’m all about quick bursts, rest and then at it again.
There’s a rumbly in my tumbly!
Nichole recently posted..What Am I Running To? Weekly Playlist Must-Haves
i have a feeling i we will be eating a lot of mexican this month to make up for it. But new zealand food is the best. Great Thai and Indian!! Oh and LAMB! woo!
I have been dying to do some tabata! I’m afraid to do it right now because I don’t want to aggravate my injury. I’ve actually never done it off of the bike or elliptical. I should try doing it with exercises on a day when we are snowed in or something and I can’t run or go to the gym!
My favorite kind of interval training is track workouts. I love the thrill of running faster than I thought I could and proving to myself that I am improving every few weeks!
Tara recently posted..Dream Big.
yes, definitely use it. You could even use a couple exercises after a recovery run. Keep things strong! Hope the injury is getting better Tara.
So much learning in this post! Thanks, LC!
lauren@spiced plate recently posted..Pins and Needles: Acupuncture and diet changes
I love that we can learn from each other. Good stuff friend.
i saw this on pinterest and love it! there is also yoga for digestion……did it many years ago! happy friday my friend
kalli recently posted..Running plans
i do the yoga for digestion. I really think it is beneficial. Just need to make MORE TIME for it, ya know?
Oh my goodness, your departure is sneaking up so quickly! I will throw a fit if we don’t get together before you leave!
Christin@purplebirdblog recently posted..A Purple Bird Anniversary (and Giveaway!)
me too!! or i will kidnapp you and take you with me. THat sounds good too! What about next weekend???
The weekend that happens tomorrow is packed with internship appointments, and then next weekend I’ll be in SF. Ack! More options please! Maybe dinner some night during the week?
Christin@purplebirdblog recently posted..A Purple Bird Anniversary (and Giveaway!)
okay, maybe a thursday or maybe I can come to yoga with you!!
Wow, thank you so much for sharing that poster.. i’ve never seen anything like it. interesting! your tough tabatas workout seems killer!! i might just try it
Have a GREAT weekend Linds!!
Sabrina @ Radioactive Runner recently posted..Rain, rain go away
your a tabata lover, right? I bet it would great with the TRX as well!
Thanks so much for posting this! I’ve heard such great things about Tabata but pretty much all I’ve done with it is sprint intervals and I was unclear as to what other exercises I could incorporate into a Tabata routine. Now I know!
Diana recently posted.."I want to do creepy things allll weekend"
yea!! its a great quick workout. Let me know how it goes Diana!
FINALLY got my lazy bum in gear to do this – holy sweat in my eyeballs this was an awesome quick workout!! Thanks!!
Diana recently posted..Thanksgiving: You Just Can’t Escape It
yea!! its a good one too. Awesome Diana!
I have never even heard of Tabata! Looks awesome and made me sweat just reading about it! ONE MONTH….OH MY GOODNESS! I am so excited to read all about your upcoming adventures:)
janaejacobs recently posted..Great News (for me at least)….
Hey friend! I’ve been reading regularly but commenting seldom…sorry about that! Just been enjoying your thoughts and getting excited for you and James as you head on another life adventure!
LOVED this post too – great fitness thoughts (I love all high intensity, short bursts of training, Tabata or otherwise!). I added the first round you listed above with the 5 moves, 5 times, as well as the end ab circuit 4 times to the end of my burpee/pushup/row workout. WHOA I’m dead now.
I will be returning to this workout and using it for clients if that’s okay!
Thanks for the fitness inspiration. Your heart just makes me smile Lindsay, and I think you are beautiful. Have a great day!
Bonnie recently posted..Tis the Season: Being Prepared
Bonnie, your words have blessed me beyond my need. I am thankful for such encouragement and just adore you! when are you coming to Austin again? soon, right?!!
Love those yoga poses – I must have accidentally ingested some gluten somewhere, somehow and I have been in so much pain and digestive trouble this AM ! I need them!
LauraJayne recently posted..10 Things About ME!
oh no!! thats the worst feeling.do a little yoga, hot bath, medicine, and bed!
I love both these charts. I am going to print them and stick them in my gym bag. I need to get back into doing intervals. I used to do a boot camp class at my gym but ever since I moved I haven’t found one I like. I’ve started doing insanity workouts once a week to add some intervals into my cardio and weight routines.
Lindsay @ biking before bed recently posted..Beer + Sushi + Jack-O-Lanterns
yes!! sweet linds. Let me know if you girl them a whirl. Enjoy the cooler TX weather.
I copied that workout down! Thanks for sharing!!!
so if you do it, you gotta let me know. K?
really it is only one month away!!! wow!! time does fly by.
and love that poster for the tummy, we need help in that area as well!!! haha
HUGS

i know, maybe that should be our morning stretch routine, eh?
Can I bring up something?…That comparison picture of Tabata, Little, Turbulence..I clicked on it, and didn’t realize it was a link…(I didn’t even know what pinterest or Tumblr are really except that people talk about them) and the girl whose page its from… 8( That is really triggering!(and I hate that word!) No offense, but I mean..I’ve always seen you as one of the more..real, people, as in..well, not like that..I’m not sure how to explain this right, at the moment becuase I am still feeling kinda emotional from clicking around on that tumblr page…I mean, just the name sent up red flags to me…*deep breathe* all the little side links that diet which is around 700 calories a day for 30, and her goal weight…especially at 15 yrs old…I know it is each persons responsibilty to choose or not choose what they read, so basically…I’m asking (???)…are you supportive of that..no, that’s not the right word..well, maybe it is?..I can’t imagine you would be…were you aware that was the source? yeah, that’s a better way of putting it..Sorry if this comes off badly, I’m kinda rambly trying to figure out what to say 8X
i had no idea that was the source. so sorry friend!
i removed the link. So glad you told me! Hope you can enjoy the rest of the weekend friend.
