Following Through

Another success! Tuesday I attended my lifting class again followed by spinning, although I must admit that after Mental Health Monday, it was incredibly hard to get going agian! But I did it! and plan to repeat the insanity on Thursday!

“I did great, I’m so proud…not so fast!” I accomplished such an amazing work out day but now I don’t know how to follow up on Wednesday! What should follow a full body lift day and intense cardio?!

Now, I know what your currently screaming in a THIS-IS-SPARTA, overly dramatic voice, “Pure cardio!” But, there’s another caveat! My Wednesdays are insane! I literally leave the house at 7:30 am and get home around 10 pm, I am not a morning workout type of person (tried it, just can’t get up that early to get a good work out in!). The only time I have to work out is during my lunch hour. But that hour is chopped up because of showering, driving, etc. Down to brass tacks, I have about 20 minutes to work out. GREAT! So I’m thinking cardio circuit, Right?! But…wait… the circuit can’t have push-ups, squats, lunges or abs because I did a butt-load (it’s a real measurement, look it up) during yesterday’s work out! And, hence, frustration ensues! So I need something that’s mostly cardio, that I can do in my living room (no tredmil), and can be done in 20 minutes or less! I’d love to hear any ideas you guys have!

Here’s what I did yesterday as a quick and dirty work out

Quick & Dirty – 5x20 Circuit
Jumping Jacks	5x20
Mountain Climbers	5x20
High Knees	5x20
Burpees	5x10

It got me sweating and kept the “lactic acid” from building. (More on lactic acid in another post, but I’m truly not certain that it even exists, some science is saying it doesn’t!). Also, I lowered the number of burpees from 20 to 10 because of time constraints, if I did 100 burpees, I would literally be there all day! I'll save that for another day!

That’s all for today! I'd love to hear your ideas for a great follow up workout!

Keep it sweaty <3
