I really can’t explain that title, but in my head it works. You see, I am typing this on Friday afternoon here, Thursday night in the states. Which means it’s almost too late to do Thirty Minute Thursday, yet I still have the urge to post it along with a Friday Faves, and a few other randoms. Therefore, my title dabs in on a little bit of everything in this post. Cool? 
First up… a new song that the Kiwi’s play religiously on the radio. I love it! The video cracks me up, not sure what it means but I’m just gonna go with it.
Second….. another hiking adventure in the port hills. Well actually, the hubs ran and I hiked. But dang, the wind. It was CRAZY! Heather, I know you can appreciate this. Just see/hear for yourself.
And last but not least..…. WHOA! I’m a wee bit sore. From what? A good old Thirty minute Thursday routine. My glutes felt those squats! And it’s a good thing, cause that is what I am aiming for….bigger booty (right Paige?).
WHOA 600 Rep Routine
-
Warm up 10 minutes easy cardio
-
50 pulls on the row machine (highest level or fast speed)
-
25 regular or assisted pull ups
-
20 squat presses
-
15 single leg squat with bicep curl (each leg)
-
20 v- ups or jack knives
-
20 tricep push ups (push outs) on smith machine bar
-
-
Repeat the circuit (minus the warm up) 4x
-
Cool down/stretch.
Done! took me 50 minutes including the warm up. Good stuff!
Alright, I’m done! It’s Friday here and we’re gonna kick back with a glass of wine of course.
What’s your Friday Fave or Weirdest title? I’m curious.
Cheers,
LC
love this workout! definitely bookmarking this to try sometime soon!
hike views are beautiful.
oh let me know when you do! hope all is well friend. SO good to hear from you.
The music vid was blocked on YouTube here (boo), but I could find a life version. Very nice song!
Your pictures are beautiful, I wish I could have been hiking there with you!
its a fun song. Reminds me of amy winehouse. And yes, my pictures are tempting because i want someone (like YOU) to come visit. hehe.
Phewww that is a great workout woman! Today is a running day, but I shall save that for next week… when I am pumped to be sore 🙂
And yeahhhh that is a bit windy there! It’s like that here on campus too (we live in a valley and the wind is VICIOUS) except it’s around 20 degrees and blowing… tis cold! lol
oh well let me know when you do try it! and happy running friend. Hope its warm!
Looks like a crazy intense workout!!! I’m amping myself up to go to the gym soon. Doing Jamie Eason’s Livefit trainer…made it to week two yaaay! And I’ll be baking cake later….that will be my fave 🙂
oh i want to try her workouts! Did you get it online? I’ve heard such good things!
Yeah they are really good! I’ve been pretty sore this week I must admit, but loving getting back into the weights. The link for the LiveFit Trainer is http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-eason-livefit-trainer.html
I love that it has a print out guide I can take with me to the gym. It’s the first time I’ve ever diligently kept track of my workouts and weights used. Excited to see how this 84 day project goes!
What kind of workouts are your fave?
I know what my Sunday workout is going to be!!
Love your hiking pictures.
I can relate to the wind. 80mph gusts in my hometown last week haha, craziness!
yes! go for it friend, a report back. k?
my friday fave is the fact that it’s friday! it’s been a loooooong week and will be a long (working) weekend. but ya know what? it’s friday & that’s got to count for something!
1 1/2 hour yoga class tomorrow – definitely looking forward to that!
oh that yoga sounds lovely. Can i come? Enjoy it! well deserved friend.
That workout sounds intense – I guess that’s what that title is all about! I need to utilize the row machine more. I haven’t used it in over a year… mostly because I know it kills!!
Yes I know, that row machine is instense. I think that is why i’ve grown to love it. hehe. Short bursts of energy! phew! oh and happy BLOG ANNIVERSARY!
Are you permanently in NZ? I am not kidding when I tell you that going to NZ is a dream of me and my hubby’s!! And I love the videos you are posting – I feel like I am there! =)
My Friday fave is usually ordering out, relaxing on the couch with my hubby and getting ready for my long run on Friday. Sounds cheesy and lame, but we enjoy spending the time together – no phones, no twitter, no FB… =)
We are here till March. Thats when the hubs finished ironman racing and training. Then back to the states for the other half of the season. He’s a kiwi so we are staying with friends and family. You still have time to come on down! we’ve got room. hehe.
Love the scenery! My Friday Fave is movie night – chilling on the couch with my cuddly kids and a glass of wine is hard to beat. 🙂
that sounds perfect! whats the movie playing tonight?? Snuggle up with those cuties!
cuddle up tonight! sounds like my kind of night. Whats the movie? anything new?
I am loving the sound of this song, but the video is definitely weird…it is a little like an Amy Whinehouse, Dolly Pardon voice…love it!
Also loving that workout!!
its totally a winehouse mix, i agree. Oh and the dolly pardon. Nice call!
We’ve actually had some pretty crazy wind days in the states–I even felt it driving in my big truck!!
Looks like you are about to blow away my friend =)
I used to despise the wind but after living in the snow for a year I’ll take the wind any day… over snow =)
yes, at least its warm! wind and snow is the worst combo ever. Stay warm friend.
You are so cute Lindsay! 🙂 Those pictures (as always) are amazing! That workout sounds killer!
oh Hi colleen! how are things? Yes, workout is killer. But I am sure you have endured much harder ones…. LIKE IRONMAN!
Happy Firday!!!! errrr Saturday now? Either way I hope you have a fabulous weekend. That workout sounds intense and I should seriously try it. All of this running lately is consuming my workouts and my buns are probably only getting smaller. 😉
i know, running can deflate that bum. Hope you get to try this workout. Happy Friday…Saturday morning here. hehe.
I really like that song! And those views are beautiful.
Wine, YES PLEASE! How about now? It’s noon…
I like that workout, I’m going to have to try it – I have been seeing workouts to try EVERYWHERE lately!
3 hours and counting for you, right? I will Cheers to you when that time comes! Happy Wine Friday Sam.
Well now that it’s Friday HERE…and I’ve read your post, I feel as though I deserve a glass of wine…if I can’t hike with ya, I can sip and think about hiking with ya, right? Ha!
you do derserve one, a glass a night is healthy in my book! 🙂
awesome workout- incorporating multiple muscle groups at once is always a killer and efficient. Enjoy your glass of wine and relaxing evening (although I guess its already over by the time I’m writing this).
just means i’ll have to celebrate your friday night again over here. Let’s make it a weekend celebration, shall we? Cheers!
ahahahahahahaha your face in the wind photo up there made my morning. i am at work being a slacker so i can’t watch the videos, but i am sure they are amazing. if there ever is another video where james is commenting on your legs, please give me a heads up. i quite enjoyed that 😉 600 reps? you’re an animal. rawr. xo
well if you need more time to kill at home, watch the videos. But if you don’t, no worries. They are just random rambles and wind and scenery. you know, the usual healthy living blogger stuff (thats sarcasm). And that 600 workout…. I got 300 into it and wanted to take a snack break. haha. I was “this close” not too.
😉
I love that song! Remember that old MTV show “Making the Video” (…just me?!) Imagine how bizarre it would be filming the making of that video…hah! ohhh, musicians.
ahh yes, the MTV show. HOw could i forget?! If i were to make this, i’d want to play that old lady. haha.
Hehehe! Bloody hot! That is what you said right? That totally made me giggle, lol! 😛 Lindsay, you should be wearing a hat, missy, the sun is so strong in Kiwi land! Just doing my caring friend thing, lol! 😉 I love seeing the Port Hills, although it makes me miss NZ so much – how lovely! Hope you had a wonderful hike! <3 xyx
i know i know, i was so bad! no hat meant burnt head! EEK! Remind me friend, you are so good at that. Thinking about you during this time. Really wish you were here. Akaoroa is calling your name again too. <3
Ready and WAITING for the weekend to begin. Patiently? Not so much.
patiently doesn’t exist in our vocabulary. 😉
Hmm Friday I love because we all sleep in late and with this nasty cold I’ve got I need it. Your photos and hikes always look so beautiful but I HATE the wind! It blows constantly out here.
and its cold there too, eek! wish i could jet you down here and get ya warmed up!
Friday Fave is probably coffee with friends after swim practice. 🙂 Love those run/hike photos! So fabulous! 🙂 Kiwi songs!! haha this is my favourite- so random of a post and I adore it!!
coffee dates, coffee stop rides, all about coffee means its a good day! yes?!
haha coffee is a good day! Coffee is the nectar of the gods and any day is made brighter with coffee and friends! 🙂
Amazing photos! Thanks for sharing!
happy to share Robyn. CHeers!
oh my goodness that is some CRAZY wind…. and a CRAZY (but awesome) workout! I hope you two have a great weekend!!
i might just use my GYMBOSS for the next set and time it. WOO, so excited for that thing. thanks again!
beautiful photos, as always! and i am loving the looks of that workout – a tough one, but a good one! 🙂
yes its a long one, well for me at least. so many reps but you feel good once its done. Hello muscles, right?
haha love the title. we sometimes struggle with cute titles, one time we just called a post – no name. now that is a poor title haha
looks like a great workout!! love working the booty 😉
Happy Friday

😉
First time stopping by your blog & love it! 🙂 I’m gonna give that workout a try – it looks awesome and great way to head into a (hopefuly) somewhat peaceful weekend.
G’day Joyce! Glad to “meet” you! Hope you get to try the workout. I’m sure it will make a peaceful part of your weekend. Well, after youre done of course. hehe.

i have to admit, i wanted to stop after 400 reps. I was pooped!
asslap!! nicely done! that wind looks fierce from the pic of you! Love it!! Happy weekend friend!
happy weekend friend. Yes, i am fierce right? haha. jk
LC – i have approximately 30 minutes tonight before having to get on a train…any recommendations on things i could do at home -note i do not have a medicine ball, weights or any other equipment 😉 have a great weekend friend!
yep! 20 squat jumps, 20 pushups, 20 lunges (each leg), 10 burpees, 30 bicyle crunches, run down your apartment stairs and back up, repeat for 30 minutes or at least 3x. Sound good?
That song is fun! I never get videos, so it’s no surprise that I don’t get into this one either. 🙂
And that running trail looks gorgeous (and hilly!) – I bet it was tough with all that wind, but at least the view was amazing!
yes, talk about some major head wind, but i hiked so i just felt like i was walking in slo-mo. haha.
if you happen to unlock the secret to getting a big booty, please share ;).
stay warm today :)!
girl i am trying to squat and lift HEAVY for my booty. It has gone flat. Maybe we should invest in some brazilian butt lifts, eh?
hehe.
LOL – Thank you for an early morning smile my friend!! I was wishing I had a video camera the other day to send you a wind report 😉
next time you must! i think we should have a wind video contest. ha!
Dang talk about crazy wind! Sounds pike an intense workout for both you and the hubs! The scenery is absolutely stunning though 🙂
Hope your weekend is amazing m’dear!
TX gets some crazy wind too, doesn’t it? But at least here its warm wind… for now! Happy weekend friend.
Sounds like a killer workout!!!! Hope you have an awesome weekend!
you too friend. Enjoy that homemade GNOCCHI!
That wind is crazy! I wish I was excited it is Friday, but I have to work tomorrow too. I need a vacation! I would love to go on a hike and get some good fresh air. Hopefully soon!
you need a celebration vacation! We’ve got a room here for ya. 😛
Whoa I am SO ready for the weekend!
How awesome it would be to take a hike there, looks amazing, even though I feel I would blow away, haha!
Happy Saturday to you! I think its Saturday there already ; )
xoxo <3
i almost did blow away! Good thing i had a back pack on. Just say that you posted a Diva approved!! Those are my favorites.
I’ll go with Miz right now, except it’s 7:24 now. 🙂

I be ready 🙂
5 hours and counting for you now, right?
