Today's Workout:

Hello Gals!
To motivate me, I thought I'd start posting some workouts as I do them, to help motivate & encourage you too. The great thing about these workouts is that you can do them at your own pace/level! Modify them to fit your "gym" ...what you have in your house. Start slow, go through each move, making sure you feel comfortable with it before you press "start" on that stopwatch.

Machines and equipment you will need:
Treadmill/ hills
12 lb. med ball
12-20 lb. dumbbells
-what your comfortable with but not too easy

Here's the Workout:
(For time! So grab that Stopwatch!)

- Walk/Run 1 mile at 12% incline
(yes, 12% which is = hills of San Fran/ Monterey/ or parts of Missouri)

- 50 push presses or push jerks
(with dumbbells-one in each hand.)
"Mommy Modification": Gallon of water or milk in each hand.



Broken Down:


- 30 Med Ball Cleans



- 30 Wall Balls (10lb or higher)
Mommy Modification: Basketball or Bag of Trash


- 50 Push ups (or in my case, because I'm rehabilitating my elbow, Handstand-holds)



- 30 Box Jumps
Mommy Modification: Use your stairs. Start by jumping 2...then 3. Find an amount you are comfortable with and then begin counting to 30.


- Walk/run 1 mile at 1.5% incline

My Time: 42:14
Post your time as a comment.
And GOOD LUCK!
