DIY Old tee's into workout wear!

I hope everyone had a great holiday break and have been able to get back into the swing of a normal routine!

Do you ever wonder what to do with all of your old tee shirts? If you are like me, I have way too many from the last ten years!  I decided to make a lot of mine that I don't use anymore into cut-offs to workout in.  There are lots of different ways to 'cut' the shirt just the way you want!  I only like to workout in tank tops or cut offs because I get way too hot!

Here are a few ways I decided to cut my new workout shirts :)

I crave pancakes quite often so I have started making a healthy version of pancakes! You can modify any part of the recipe to your liking but here is my recipe...
-2 Egg whites
-1/4 Cup vanilla almond milk
-1/4 cup Old fashion oats (gluten free for me)
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 tsp baking soda
-3 TBSP flax seed meal
-1/8 cup brown rice flour

**Then I mix it all in a blender or with a hand mixer (to blend well & break the oats up)

Pictured, I have topped my pancakes with Chocolate hazelnut butter and some maple agave nectar! Super easy and takes less than 10 minutes :)

You can find at Hy-Vee or Target, there are sample packets, too! :)

I tried this workout on Sunday and I was super sore for a few days.  I am trying to be able to do pull ups on my own so here's what I did..
-Hold a pull up position at the top with wrists facing you for 10 seconds.
-Rest 20 seconds and repeat 4 more times
NEXT
-Standing on a box, I did 'pull up jumps' with wrists facing out, hands about 6 inches out from shoulders on each side
-I would jump up from the box using mostly my arms and hold a the top for a half of a second for 15 reps
-Rest 20-30 seconds and repeat 4 more times

Your lats should be a GOOD SORE tomorrow!  Enjoy :)

Stand on box, feet centered so you don't fall off!
