H i, Fit Mama Real Food Readers! I hope your all having a fantastic day! My name is Kjirsten and I blog over at on all things fitness and nutrition related with a little real life thrown in the mix too!

A little about me, I’m a new mom to a beautiful 3 month baby girl, I’m an experienced personal trainer and my husband and I own and operate three gyms in Arizona!

Growing up I was always active and it wasn’t until I was almost done with college that I knew I needed to be in the fitness industry. Fitness was a part of my everyday life, whether I was walking the dog, running around the lakes in Minneapolis, taking Bikram yoga classes or in the weight room lifting weights. I had to be doing something active, always.

Exercise for me is my special me time where I can just be alone with my thoughts and not be bothered. It is also a great stress relief- nothing like doing an intense cardio session to sweat out all those harbored emotions of the day. Call me crazy, but I love to sweat! Exercising is also a great way to spend quality time with your special someone or one of your friends or family members!

So with that being said, today I want to share with you a high calorie burning workout that I hope you’ll love doing as much as I love creating fun and effective workouts for my clients and blog readers.

*Remember to consult with your doctor before attempting/trying out a new exercise program. Also, if you are unsure of any of the exercises, make sure you ask a personal trainer at your gym for help to ensure you’re doing the movement correctly or email me if you have any questions at all about the workout (TrainerKjirsten@aol.com)
