Back on track

Missed a day yesterday. Like many of you, I'm going to have to establish a routine that takes into account busy days at work and after-hours socializing.

I've been enjoying my after work routine but as work grows more busy, it's time to start planning for the days when I won't get home in time to fit in a workout. Tips are welcome!

Now today's workout...

Warm-up: Five minutes at RPE 3-5

Short Cardio: 10 minutes at RPE 5-6

Combo Strength Training (courtesy of the Body + Soul Challenge: 35 days to a new you!)
I skipped ahead to Wednesday of week 3...

What you need: 5 pound weights, yoga mat optional

  • Plie w/ bicep curls: Drop into a plie while curling weights up, lower weights as you come to standing position. Two sets of 10-15 reps
  • Lunge with Dumbbell Twist: Lunge forward with your left foot with a weight held in two hands, twist right elbow to knee, twist to front and return to start. Two sets of 10-15 reps on each side.
  • Plank with Leg Lift: Start in modified plank pose, lifting body up on elbows and toes, lift right leg 8 inches, then down, switch to left leg, then down, alternating 10-15 times on each side. Repeat.

Cool down: Five minutes, RPE 3-5.

Have a great weekend!
