I spent several hours sitting at the computer yesterday. Not fun. My body does not enjoy sitting for extended periods!
Before that, I spent several hours cleaning, doing laundry, and various other domestic projects. Not so much fun either!
By the early evening, I clearly heard the dock calling my name. The sun was out… the temperature was just perfect! I had another project I could work on down there, I was thinking!
But, that would mean sitting again… and being sedentary.
Couldn’t do it.
I decided to do a super turbo 10 minute work out, just to get my body moving and the juices flowing again! I didn’t want to take the time to do a longer work out… because I’d miss the quality dock time with my hubby!
I didn’t even go upstairs to our work out room… just cranked this out with my body weight only. Super fast-paced, but still focused on full range of motion and good technique.
So, here’s the 10 minute work out:
50 alternating lunges
50 push-ups
50 wide-stance squats with arms straight overhead
25 dips on one leg
50 Bulgarian split squats with rear foot up on chair
25 dips on other leg
50 Bulgarian split squats with other leg on chair
50 Pilates-type leg raises/pike position (arms stretched overhead, legs stretched out… then legs raise and upper body raises so that hands and feet touch overhead)
It was a good little mix in my exercise routine. I’m glad I did it! Was it the best or most intense work out ever? Nah. But it sure was better than nothing and it was certainly good enough to work up a good sweat!
(That glass of wine on the dock felt even better afterward!)
