Hi my friends, I have for you a total body workout, 5 exercises that blast the body leaving you sweating like crazy and begging for bread lol. You know my love for total body workouts, exercising like this I can take a rest day any time without feeling guilty.
Sometimes I do split workouts, lower and upper body, this way I can really work those muscles. But I must do a workout next day to feel myself complete, you know what I mean. Doing lower body and skipping upper body next day, makes me feel such I miss something. And I like my peace of mind, so I don’t skip split workouts.
This is one of my old workouts and I tried it with bigger dumbbells and at the end I was hurting a lot, in a good way. Wish you sweat hurting 😉

After the workout I went out to have my brunch. I like to merge breakfast and lunch in a big meal. I feel so full and satisfied after. It was a long time ago when I ate 5-6 small meals per day. Now I am after 2 big meals daily and sometimes a portion of fruit or nuts or something small in between. At this moment this is my favorite way of eating. In the future it may change.
Question of the day
How many times per day you eat at the moment?
I prefer to nibble 5-6 times per day. Mmmm. May be because I am pregnant… Who knows? Where is my PIZZAAAA?
I eat 3 full meals and I snack between. I try to eat as clean as possible, which means I avoid processed food, sugar, fried food, white bread, soft drinks, alcohol and similar.
Katerina, you are a champion! Well done, girl, you kick nutrition 🙂
You inspired me to pay more attention to what I eat 🙂 I used to think that as long as I workout I can eat anything, but after eating clean for a while I can definitely see the difference. I am stronger and I have less fat. I weigh more but I look much more toned. I have my bad moments, especially when hormones kick in, but I think I have made big progress. Thank you so much for motivating me Rumi!
Katerina, I know what you mean, I am the haviest in my life, but everybody says I am thinner 🙂 Looking good is 80% nutrition, but exercise plays a major role in feeling good!

hi Rumi, I have been following your excercise videos and this new one was really intense. i didn’t want to work out this morning because i was so tired from yesterday but once i started warming up, i felt ready to keep going. I enjoyed the workout video today.
i started with the belly fat exercises that you had on earlier in the year, and i love your new blog/website. I also now pay attention to what i eat and your comments on the videas are always motivating.
Kanem, I know that sometimes starting a workout is more difficult than finishing it 🙂 Thank you for your support!
Hi Rumi!
I’m a full time student living in australia, I just wanted to say thank you so much for making these videos accessible, I can’t afford to go to a gym. I really love your work outs, and love that I can do them at home! I’ve been working on my nutrition and now I’m adding these videos to my morning 🙂 I hope to see results soon.
Thank you so much!
Emily, I am glad you like workouts, keep doing them, clean your nutrition and you will start to see results.
