I loveeeeee to sweat on Sundays.
Most people aren’t fans because Sundays are typically known as a day of rest.
For me though, Sundays are a day to reset & set the tone of my upcoming week. If there’s a chance to get a quick, sweat sesh in before the busy week ahead, I’m fully game.
This weekend I took a barre class & did a quick, easy at-home workout ( stay tuned for TSC Fitness & Nutrition Subscription, which will allow you do all your workouts AT-HOME!!! ).
These at-home workouts are from Missguided’s ‘Skinny Bitch Collective’ workout plan. Here’s a visual for ya:
In the video, I’m doing ‘clock lunges.’
Clock lunges are designed to take your legs and brain in different directions to fire up the glutes & facilitate more changes in strength. So pretend you’re in a clock face position & lunge to 12, 6, 3, & 9 o’clock.
Do this 4 times on each side. Lunge forwards, backwards, and to the sides ( the final position should look like a curtsy ).
This works the legs, glutes, & core balance. YESSSSSS.
For a…
Beginner: 3 reps of 12, 6, 3, 9 on each leg.
Intermediate: 5 reps of 12, 6, 3, 9 on each leg.
Advanced: add barbell or free weight & aim for 6 reps of 12, 6, 3, 9.
Side: I’m a big fan of this heather grey sweater…especially for an at-home workout. It’s light-weight, cute, & can transition from a quick Sunday workout to a champagne brunch. LOL.
When I’m working out at home, I put on a little music ( latest favorite: Phil Collins, don’t ask ) & make sure Michael is out of the house ( sorry babe, you’re SOOO distracting! ).
Sometimes I’ll even go outside on the grass. As long as I can take some time to myself, it’s all good in the hood.
My ultimate fitness goal? To be the best version of myself.
So if the opportunity presents itself to workout at home, I’m SO IN. You?
Details of what I’m wearing are below— my full fitness get-up is from Missguided’s new activewear line.
I’m super excited about this because I LOVVVVEEEE MISSGUIDED’S clothes in general, so when they added an activewear section, I was WAY TOO excited.
What’s your favorite way to sweat it out on a casual Sunday?

OUTFIT OF THE DAY || #OOTD:
Sunglasses || Shoes
Super cute. I love casual activewear. Especially easy-on, easy-off stuff like that sweater tee. I tried a dance class this Sunday and it might be my new routine. Love it.
Love their new range but I can’t seem to find the leggings with the mesh panels at the front! Are you wearing the ones you’ve linked to backwards?!
If I can’t workout at home, I’m not working out at all!
What an inspiring post for Monday! At the moment I am doing Ripped by Jillian Michaels,but i change it up with Yoga and running 🙂
I just posted a weekly food diary on my blog, I would really appreciate what you think about it 🙂

Looooove this post! All of their stuff is awesome, and I love the idea of gym clothes that I can also run around and get shit done in! I feel like without that I’m always running around like crazy and never get my workout in. Barre is literally the best exercise I’ve tried yet! It’s the perfect exercise for me and I love the results!

Love it! Sunday’s are the best day to get a head start on fitness for the week. Plus, it’s easier to justify ordering deep fried marscapone stuff french toast for the table to share at brunch (which I may have done yesterday :-O). And one can never underestimate the power of a quickie at home workout!
xx Happy Monday!
nothing really makes the day feel better than a quick sweat sesh! and i love those leggings girl!

Cute sneakers!!
Love your shoes!!!
Cute stuff! I usually use Sunday as my rest day from a week of workouts, but a nice walk in the city is always a good option too. Happy Monday!
Love the pants with the sheer paneling at the knees. And about working out on Sundays, even though it is a rest day, I try to do something active. Maybe not as “beast mode” as I do sometimes during the week, but 40 minutes of yoga, or going for a walk or 30 minute jog still makes me feel accomplished without the pressure of a full-blown workout.

Lunges always hurt me so bad due to my knee problems. Not having an ACL makes it tough!
love love love this outfit! I workout everyday except one day which I never actually say what day it will be because something will always come up with my clients and it’ll just happen on its own! I do prefer Sundays as its a late start and my workouts are always better when I got some extra sleep in 🙂 xo C
Love the videos girl! Keep them coming!! And LOVE the sneakers..great color 🙂
I seriously hate lunges but its a must for the butt lol I love your carpet!!!!
Love your blog!! Follow or check out my lifestyle and fitness blog at https://myonederlust.wordpress.com
LOOOOVE your blog!! Do you typically find that you need an additional session (or mini-sesh) in addition to your barre classes? I just started taking barre classes, but I’m not sure if I should be adding in more strength/cardio….Thank you for all the advice you provide on TSC!!!! <3
Yay, love that you’re championing the home workout! Mr B and I ditched the gym a few years ago and haven’t looked back. We’re often asked which gym we use/how we workout and people are so shocked at what you can do in a teeny tiny terraced house! You’re looking fab, & I LOVE the Sunday Sweat Sesh look. x
I love your outfit! I’m always on the lookout for new cute workout clothes, so I’m heading over to check these out now!
You will love!!
First, love your blog! Second, love your outfit in this post! Just wondering.. I clicked the link for the leggings and their website showed the mesh see through part on the back side of the knees, are the reversible? Or do they come in two different styles?
Thanks babe! E-mail me and I will figure out what ones you’re looking for. Lauryn@TheSkinnyConfidential.com.
Fitness goals? To work out to Phil Collins! !
