Weekly Wokouts + Topo Athletic Shoe Giveaway!

Happy Monday, you workout lovers, you! So get this: to reward you for loving working out and for finally looking at my Weekly Workouts post (I know you’re only here for the giveaway, you bastard), I’m going to reward one special person with a pair of Topo Athletic Shoes! If you haven’t seen these shoes yet, you need to. At first, I wasn’t sure I was going to like them. I’ve stuck with the same shoes for a long time and I’m quite comfortable with tying my own shoes. But these Topo Athletic Sante gym shoes are seriously fantastic. Super easy to tighten them (similar to snowboard boots), say to loosen them and they are wicked comfortable. They are a little wider in the toe area, which I find really comfortable and even better looking then skinny shoes. Skinny feet are weird looking.

Let’s do this!! This giveaway is for both men and women since Topo Athletic makes great shoes for everyone. AND the winner gets to choose what shoes they would like! So enter away! This giveaway is for US and Canada residents only. Sign up below! And while you’re at it, look how adorbs these ones are!

Sunday – Rest day! This was a day I planned on going to the gym, but after a night of Halloween party partying, I said no thank you. Alcohol ruins everything. It’s the worst.

Monday – Back on the wagon. I’ve been practicing my butterfly pull ups as much as possible and that’s exactly what I did this day. Since I had just been back for half a week at the gym, they were a little all over the place, but I managed to get a couple sets down pretty well! Hoping to have them down by the time I compete in a team competition this month. Gag.

Saturday – Talk about not wanting to do this workout. I woke up, saw this workout, and quickly regretted not working out on Friday. Shame. Because the sled push whooped my ass, especially since we only do them twice a year.
