Back again –

I have decided to start rambling here again, to help keep me accountable, if only to myself.  I found myself getting lazy at the end of last fall and I would go on spurts of working out and being healthy and spurts of being a lazy bum.  Welp, no more excuses.

Just over 40 days until Key West = my motivation
 
Sunday I did 5 miles of a run/walk (0.50 run/0.25 walk), but Monday’s workout is the one I really wanted to share.  Total I worked out for an hour, but it was split into 2 sessions and hit a bit of everything – cardio and weights (full body).

Monday -
Lunch: 25 minutes on the elliptical.  Planks: 3 @ 30 secs

Evening Gym:      10 minutes of spin (1 min standing climb, 1 min seated flat road)

                                Squat w/overhead press

                                Renegade Row with frog jump

                                Sumo squat to row

                               
                                10 minutes of Spin (1 min standing climb, 1 min seated flat road).

 

For the non-spin part, I used a shortened version of a workout created by the Blonde Ponytail (found Here).  She posts a ton of workouts that can be done in the home and breaks down movements with pictures/videos.  

For my first attempt at it I used 5 lbs.  It is 20 secs of work, followed by 10 seconds or rest, repeat 8 times on the same exercise.  Then continue on to the next move.  On the renegade row with frog jump, I had to take the frog jump out about halfway through.  Total workout at the gym was just over 30 min and I was a sweaty mess.  Mission accomplished!
