I Tried Kaley Cuoco’s Workout Routine, And Her Regimen Was Intense, Even For Someone Like Me Who Regularly Works Out
Hi! I’m Fabiana, and by now I’ve established that I’m a person who genuinely enjoys exercising and eating healthy. I’ve written posts about how I started my fitness journey, how I became a morning workout person, and I’ve even tried a few celebrity workout routines.
DAY TWO: I was never more thankful for a cardio day than the way I was today considering both my upper and lower body were hurting.
DAY THREE: Although my muscles were still recovering from Monday, I conjured up another Kaley-inspired full-body routine for today’s workout. ?
DAY FOUR: It didn’t surprise me that by this point in the week when my alarm went off for my morning workout, I buried my head under my pillow and thought of a few excuses I could use to justify me skipping today’s workout. But then I thought to myself, What would Kaley do?, which prompted me to hop out of bed and quickly make my way to my workout area in my basement before I changed my mind.
Kaley is a fan of jumping rope — another form of cardio that isn’t my favorite. Are we seeing a trend here? I’m 5’9” so I always feel clumsy and awkward jumping rope, but for the sake of this post, I had to do what I had to do. I put on some music and started hopping away.
I did intervals of 30 seconds jumping rope with 10 seconds of rest. I then increased that to 45 seconds of jumping rope to 15 seconds of rest. In total, I was jumping rope for about 20 minutes, which was enough to cause me to be dripping in sweat. Let’s just say this was a humbling workout.
DAY FIVE: Praise be that today was an active recovery day, which meant I couldn’t just lounge on my couch watching Netflix; I actually had to move my body but not necessarily at an intense rate. I opted for yoga because Kaley is a fan of yoga.
DAY SIX: Despite having a few complaints this week, I was feeling good about my efforts in the gym following Kaley’s workout regimen. I woke up feeling way less sore and ready to take on a nice, long walk.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Done and DONE!
A few things I wanted to point out to keep in mind:
Have you ever tried a celebrity workout before? Which one(s) have you loved — or hated? Do you have a suggestion for one I should try next? Share in the comments! ?
