Busy can't be used to describe how busy I have been this week. Seriously insane. I don't want to keep this pace up. But I have mentioned that I have a new job as a therapist and I am all over and insurance paperwork is cray cray.
How I fit my workouts in is important to me. Only one day did I miss a morning workout...after a 12 hour day the day before there was just no way I could get out of the bed without feeling like I was so tired my eyelashes hurt.
As a single mom of a special needs kiddo, a therapist, a trainer, and someone living 1500 miles from family...it is vital that I understand that if I wait for life to "slow down" in order to fit my fitness in...I'll be waiting forever.
Including today, I worked out 5 times this week (not Friday) and 3 of those 5 were under 25-30 minutes. Yet another benefit of working out in my home gym.
Simple Upper Body at Home GO HEAVY Workout:
- Warm up
- Do this workout in a circuit (each exercise back to back with little rest). Rest for 30 seconds between circuits and complete a total of 3 circuits)
- shoulder press
- 1 arm row
- front raise/side raise
- chest press
- skull crushers (for triceps) using ONE dumbbell
- Front squat with kick
- Rear lunges
- Plie squats (40#, 45#, 50#)
- Deadlift (bars only go to 60#)
- Machines (rarely use these)
- Leg press (single and double leg)
- Lying hamstring curl (damn this hurt)
- Then I ran 15 Minutes of crazy intervals
- On and off the gym floor in one hour
Tomorrow is Sunday and I will be doing yoga in my room and getting tons of paperwork done. Kennedy may not be home so I may go to the gym and ride the rbike while reading a novel...hmmmm.
Off to make a menu for the rest of the week and get myself organized. Clothes are hung to dry, hair is washed...ahhhhh
