There is Always Time to Exercise

Below is a ‘scenario’ that happens to many of us! It happens to me with my busy life style. Find a way my friends!

So, I woke up yesterday morning and the bed felt too comfortable and warm – I didn’t want to get up and exercise. I was also feeling a little sore from my past Insanity workout I did the day before, my whole body was fatigued and my core was sore. So I grabbed an extra 30 minutes sleep until the kids woke up and the morning chaos gong show began.

That was my exercise opportunity gone – I’d planned to do Les Mills Pump and Shred.

But another opportunity did arise – approx 10 minutes between putting the kids to bed, tidying the house up, and my wife waiting to watch a movie. What could I get done in 15-20 minutes?

Well, my favorite exercise – the humble push up/cardio exercise is always good for a quick upper-body & cardio workout.

Down to it: 3 sets of push ups to failure, 2 minutes rest between sets. I managed 60 reps, 32 reps & 15 reps. (total burn out). That’s 107 press-ups in approx 8 minutes, and I felt it.  Then I jumped on the spin bike for 10 minutes of 30 second sprint then 30 slow peddle! Nothing wastes the legs quicker and burns the lungs!  Not a bad workout for the tiny amount of time I had.

No matter what type of shape we are in, the energy we have or the exercises involved, you can do it! Find a way!

So, remember, there is always time to exercise – to say there is not is just an excuse!

Les Mills Pump Workout – Pump and Shred

This work out happened yesterday, I have been to busy to post! So, I am a day late!

To be honest with you, this was one of the worst workouts I have had in quite some time. I started well, felt strong and was eager to do the work out. It was about 2 minutes into the squat track for me to  know, how off my mind and my muscles were.  I had very little power! I finished it, but as the chest, back and lunge track continued, the weaker I felt and the more rest time I took. Now the rest time were not long, 5 to 10 seconds. Still not up to par! Looking back and my WOWY GYM in Beach Body, I noticed I had worked out 8 days in a row. So I took today off!

My nutrition has been good. Shakeology each day, very close to or just over my 2.300 in calories per day. Eating less meat more nuts, veggies and fruit. My hydration could be better as I am averaging 6 glasses of water, not 9. I have to make more of a point to care water with me. This might have been my issue in this last workout.

I expect a better workout tomorrow! Maybe a swim with my lovely wife! A little variety in your workouts goes a long way. More on this at a later time! Have a great night!
