BACK DAY (sort of)
Today was a very off day for me. All 3 of my kids had trouble sleeping last night. That lead to all kinds of tears during “school” time. I was just feeling a bit drained to say the least.
I took the dogs for a 2 mile walk to reset. Still feeling tired I decided to do a paired down workout today.
First circuit was done all with the same dumbbells. Did not set them down until circuit was complete.
As I have said before I don’t have the heaviest weights at home. So, I really focused on using my back muscles through every rep.
Triset was done as fast as possible to get a bit of a heart rate response.
Ended up taking the dogs for another long walk. I have a long history of struggling with days like today. I always feel like I am being lazy or missed an opportunity for a workout. However, I am learning to listen to what my body needs and on days when I feel drained I need to just slow down.

BOULDER SHOULDERS 😂
I love working shoulders! So easy to see results in these small little muscles 💪
Today’s circuit consists of 7 exercises, 7 reps each for 7 sets.
Try to not rest at all in between exercises.
My warm-up consisted of bent arm circles holding a very light weight, arm swings and standing arm circles- 3 sets of ten each.
Apparently I was on a mission today.
Cardio involved a 5 mile steady state run, followed by a 2 mile walk with my dogs.
Did a little core when I got back too.
50 reverse crunches, 40 scissor kicks, 30 v-ups, 20 bicycles ea way, 100 sec plank- 2 rounds 🤪

DAILY WORKOUT
This week I thought I would share with you my exact workout 🏋️‍♂️
If you are like me and don’t have a lot of heavy weights at home you may be wondering what you can do to at the very least keep what you have worked for during this time.
Today was upper body and core. Warm- up was 5 min working on jump rope skills, specifically double unders! I worked through the first circuit with minimal rest between exercises. Took a sip of water at the end and did it again. Tried to keep the intensity up as much as possible.
Last little bit was with a 30 lb kettlebell. If you don’t have a KB a dumbbell or water jug will work as well.
For cardio today I ran a total of 3 miles Mile 1 - steady state, mile 2 30/30 intervals, mile 3 steady state.
