Interval Workout of the Day

This morning was a “bootcamp” day.  That means I had a group of fabulous women show up to sweat together.  They listen to all of my plumbing issues and I listen to them complain about running suicides.  It’s a great match!  After class, I came home and had a warm bowl of oatmeal, mixed with a little protein powder, peanut butter and blueberries.  This was my comfort food for the day.  

As I’m often asked about our workouts I thought I’d share a little bit of what this morning’s workout looked like.  
So, if we missed you this morning here’s your chance to make it up.  If you are looking for something different to do, this is for you, too.

You will need hand weights if you have them.  If you are just starting an exercise program try it without the weights.  You will also need   A place to run a suicide.  Remember these from PE? Find at least 4 spots you can mark to touch and race back to starting position and repeat until you’ve touched all 4 marked spots-  You know you love these!  And actually reach down and touch the ground . . . half the fun is sneaking in those extra squats!

Run a Suicide!
Repeat 2X

Cool Down and Stretch!
You are done for the day!  
This is something you can do anywhere.  Your local park, the beach on vacation, school track, your house and substitute your stairs for the suicides, your driveway, you name it.  In fact, this morning we did it in a church parking lot!

What was your breakfast today?  How long could you go without running water? toilets? laundry? showers?  Have you hugged a plumber lately?  I’m just about to!
