My family ended the night last night doing fireworks. Pure awesomeness. I am firework obsessed.
Remember how yesterday’s exercise challenge was Box Jumps? Well, along with our fireworks we egged my nephew on to see just how high he could jump. He’s got some SERIOUS hops, and he kept popping up on our picnic table like it was no big deal. I wish that I had a picture of it because it was awesome. He makes me want to get better at my box jumps!
These absolutely have to be one of my favorite exercises. I LOVE them! They are so great because they are a full body exercise that is weight bearing, and they still get your heart rate up. Holding two dumbbells by your side, squat down in a full squat. Return to standing, do a bicep curl right into an overhead press. Bring your dumbbells back down by your sides and go right into the next squat. These are seriously the best, and my clients will definitely agree that I do them ALL THE TIME! They are so great!
