Wake Me Up Morning ⊕ Cardio Blaster!

Hi Loves!

I wanted to share my morning work-out routine that I do. This little baby has helped me reach closer to my fitness and weight goals. I know most of us are pressed for time when it comes to working out. But in all reality you are the only person in the way. The world around you is a gym. You can essentially work-out anywhere, it's all about thinking outside of the box. You can do these in your house, at the gym, at the park, in your office, like I said anywhere.

Booming ∗ Lower Body Plyometrics

Hello Everyone!

If you haven't noticed by now, I like doing work-outs where you don't have to spend hours in the gym. My schedule is jam-packed with activities along with a daily 95 minute commute to work. I just recently cancelled my gym membership because I wasn't making use of it, and I was just paying for it every month.

I do have some light equipment at home that allows me to have a complete and challenging workout.

For this work-out you will need a Timer, Mat, 2 sets of weight (one comfortable, the other set should be challenging), Chair, a Stool: you can jump on, ankle weights, and Exercise ball. Don't worry if you don't have all these pieces of equipment. Remember your house is already filled with alternatives for most of these things. Just be creative and think outside the box.

Try to do 5 rounds of this work-out with 10 seconds rest in between sets and 60 seconds rest in between rounds.

Remember warm-up with 2 minute running in place or jump rope. And Cool down after every exercise with a stretch.

Ready Set GO!!!!

30 Seconds High knees
25 Box Jumps
25(each Leg) Box Step Ups with weights
15 one Leg Lunges with weight
15 standing Abductors
25 Sumo Jump squats holding weight
25 Hamstring Curls (w or w/o weight)
25 Hip Lifts with Exercise Ball
30 Calf Jumps without rope
30 Second Wall Sit

Be good to your body, and it will be good to you!

Deck of Cards ♠ Workout

Hi friends! I have a fool proof way to squeeze in a work-out without any excuses.

This workout was passed along to me by an avid cross-fitter. She saw the idea on a episode of Biggest loser, so I decided to take the idea and run with it.


I took a standard deck of cards that I had in the house and By suit I assigned a workout to them, the number on the card represents how many reps I will do for that exercise.
Aces: 60 seconds rest
Hearts: Crunches
Spades: Push-ups
Diamonds: Lunges
Clubs: Squats
Jokers:

•  Card 1: 5 burpee's with a Tuck Jump.
•  Card 2: 10 Squat Jumps

King; Climbers x10
Queen: Mountain 
Jacks: Jumping Jacks x10
Wild cards: I had two of these .

• Card 1: Flutter Kicks x10
• Card 2: 30 sec Jump Rope

Pull 10 random cards and set them on a flat surface. When you complete on exercise turn the card over and move on to the next. Rest after you completed exercise #10 for 1 minute. Then repeat the entire circuit.

 

Go for a minimum of 2 Rounds.
