Back to Reality. . .

It's Back to Reality Monday! For those around here it's back to school and work after three days off, plus the weekend, making it a five day weekend as The Second Son called it. Plus, it's Monday following the Super Bowl. That means lots of folks eating and drinking lots of things they ordinarily do not. For days . . .

So, it was a kick in fanny, burn some calories, get back to real life workout in Bootcamp this morning. If you need a workout for home, here's some of the things we did. The goal is to keep moving, get out of your comfort zone, get your heart rate up and challenge yourself. We used a gym, but modify it where you need. Use your driveway for sprints and suicides, your hall, run the stairs, jump rope or whatever you need to do to keep moving and out of your normal routine.

** Description of QUAD SQUATS**
Stand with your feet hip width apart. Bend over and either touch the floor with your fingertips or place a dumbell upright under your hands in front of your feet. Lift up on your toes and keep your heels off the ground as you bend your knees into a squat, straighten your legs. That's one rep. Keep your knees behind your toes just as you would in a normal squat or lunge and keep your abs engaged.

After our workout I came home and made a filling shake to give me some protein and get me through.
