Merry Monday to you! This morning I was TIRED. We were up late playing Christmas games and laughing, and then all of the sudden….shoot it’s 5:00 AM and I’m being beckoned by my alarm clock. My house was chilly and I didn’t want to get out of bed…but I did, and I ended up having a killer circuit workout this morning that I thought I’d share!
In case you were wondering…this is what Monday looks like at my house…mid-day, wrapped up in a blanket, hood on, writing up a storm. Don’t let this pic fool you…it has actually been a fabulous day!
Merry Monday Circuit Workout
15 32″ box jumps
15 Pull ups with the TRX
15 DB squats with a curl
*repeat 3 times*
40 rope slaps (with the heavy industrial ropes)
15 Med ball snatches with a burpee (18 lb med ball)
20 alternating walking lunges with a curl (20 lb db’s)
*repeat 3 times*
…and the grand finale heart rate killer…
20 kettle bell high sumos with 25 lb KB
10 Burpees
*repeat twice through with no break*
This workout took me about 40-45 minutes. I try to take as few breaks as possible, so my heart rate stays high! Although I was freezing and tired, it felt good to get a GREAT sweat in! The key to outwitting the holiday hype of weight gain is to keep up with the healthy habits you know and love so much! You may be busy, and you more than likely tired…but I promise…It’s worth it!!
I love working out during the Holidays. For some reason is just feels so much better. 🙂
You need to invite me to these game parties. Sounds fun!
