Working Out!

I'm still on track with this working out business!  Now, I want to know who's going to join me?  Seriously!  I know there are lots of you reading this that are just like me and have every excuse in the book.  Here are some of mine:

1.  Don't have a gym membership
2.  When I consider getting above, I realize there's no way I will leave my almost 8 month old, once preemie, in childcare.
3.  No time
4. Too tired
5.  It's TOO cold!
6.  Too many kids
7.  No equipment
8.  Too much to get done around house

..... lalala, you get the point.  There's always going to be a reason.  Even though my driveway and the roads were solid ice out today and only good for sledding on (see picture), I still got my run in.  I ran in place in my living room, then jogged around the house, did some more running in place and punches and kicks.  The joy of being in your home is that no one cares what you look like!  I'm starting slow, so join in with me!  It only takes a few minutes and you WILL feel it the next day!

This is what today looked like (very similar to my 1st day, but less time between intervals.  Decreased from a 1 minute rest to 40 seconds)  Once I'm down to 30 seconds I will add another full round.

1.  Run for 4 minutes without stopping (okay, jog or act weird too)
2.  rest 40 seconds
3.  10 jumping squats
4.  rest 40 seconds
5.  10 pushups (harder than day 1 b/c those muscles are still sore!)
6.  rest 40 seconds
7.  10 dumbbells raises
8.  rest 40 seconds
9.  Jog in place for 4 minutes (well, I had to wipe a butt while running in place for this round!  But I wasn't going to let anything stop me from finishing!)

In less than 15 minutes you can get in a good workout!  I know this is super basic, but we've all got to start somewhere!  I can't wait to see what a few months brings!  (besides a pull up bar, some rings, jumping box, etc ;-)
