It's not work, it's recess.

After devouring my black coffee, egg whites and oatmeal this morning, I was planning on going on my run. This was interrupted by a long list of errands that needed attention. Which were interrupted by the Container Store. And then Ikea. Before I knew it, my workout had been pushed all the way to 9pm!
Sure, the average American might disregard their workout and shove it onto the next days to do list, but no, no; tomorrow is tomorrow. Change can only happen in the present!
Looking at exercise as extra work after work, will only make it a "WORKout". I encourage you to look at exercise differently. A workout is the finish to a long, productive day. It is recess.


Today's workout
3 rounds with 8lb dumbbells & TRX strap. Each exercise is 60 seconds, 100% effort:
-plank with alternating front raise.
-side plank with lateral raise, switch sides halfway through
-single leg alternating lateral & front raises, switch legs halfway through
-burpee with shoulder press
-single leg dead lift with reverse fly
-TRX push-ups

3 mile interval run with ankle weights.

With ankle weights, perform each exercise for 60 seconds:
-jump squats
-lateral hops
-push-ups
-high kicks
-sit ups
-mountain climbers
-high kicks
-bridge
-sit ups
-jump shuffle
-high knees
-squat hold

Rest 60 seconds

-alternating forward lunge
-sit ups
-squats
-alternating lateral lunge
-jump shuffle
-squat hold
-alternating forward lunge

Aaaaanddd go to sleep to do it again tomorrow!
