You miss every SHOT you don't take.
Hello Lift and Sip followers! Hopefully you all are well on your way into a summer full of fitness and fun, and a whole lot of sun! So far on our journey into the land of the toned and the tipsy you've met two of my best friends Lauren and Katie and learned how they maintain a healthy balance of both lifting and sipping in their life. Now today you are going to meet another good friend of mine, Shaelyn!Â
Shaelyn is a die hard when it comes to the gym, she only allows her self one day off a week, NO EXCEPTIONS. On top of her 6/7 days working out Shaelyn teaches a spin class 3 times a week as well as a abs/core classes twice, but she doesn't count those as her own workout for the day because to her it’s her just doing her job. For her “actually workout” she splits up her week into 4/2/1. By this I means she does four days of legs, two days of arm, and one day of rest. Two of her leg day she likes to focus on her quads to get them toned to perfection. On the other two leg days she's works on her hammies and of course, the booty. When it comes to her arm days she has ones day where she focuses of her shoulders and triceps and the other on her back and biceps. If you want to try out Shaelyn’s Schedule here it is in a simple form:
Leg Day 1: Quads
Arm day 1: Shoulder and Triceps
Leg Day 2: Hammies and Booty
Off day
Leg Day 3: QuadsÂ
Arm day 2: Back and Biceps
Leg day 4: Hammies and Booty
Shaelyn doesn’t do cardio and abs on her own because she feels as if doing them in them in her classes suffices as enough and would rather focus her time on lifting. Over all she just has this intense passion for working out and being healthy, and plans on conquering her fitness goals all throughout life as well as helping others reach theirs.Â
When it comes to drinking and going out Shaelyn say that it really varies for her depending on what her friends are doing, as well as when she works. She actually just got a job at my favorite local bar downtown and is super excited to start being a bartender.  With working late weekend hours with bartending and having a job where she needs to be able to perform, Shaelyn said that she typically will drink about 2 days a week. Of those two days she mention that one day during the week she will casually drink, but the other day she drinks, she gets “hammered”. Looking at Shaelyn you wouldn't assume that she could handle a lot of liquor, but boy oh boy can she handle liquor. One fun thing about her drinking habits is that she doesn't do mixies. What do you means she doesn’t do mixies is probably what you're thinking right? She just does shots, like only shots, and usually shots of tequila because they are low calorie. Now Shaelyn isn’t one of those crazy people who refuse to drink because of calories, she will still enjoy a good beer here and there, she just doesn't see the need of adding the extra calories of the mixie if it’s not necessary.Â
Overall Shaelyn has a phenomenal amount of motivation and determination to get to the gym almost every single day, and put down those tequila shots ever time she goes out. I hope you all enjoyed learning a little about this blonde bombshell and can take away some lifting and sipping tips! Until next time!
