Fitness Cure

I’ve been admittedly ‘here and there’ when it comes to my personal fitness. I haven’t been posting my weekly workouts or my fitness reflections strictly because I am ‘non-goal oriented’ right now. I still train every day and am very focused in terms of ‘putting a little bit into each long term goal bucket’ each day.

Yesterday it was HOT here in Sacramento. I decided to train outside in my backyard versus going to the gym because:

a. I didn’t want to drive
b. I didn’t want to be inside when there was a pretty day occurring outside
c. I knew I can perform a very intense workout right in my own backyard.
My tools: Jump rope, Athletic Shoes, Stop Watch and 4 rubber bands to keep my hair in place!

My Exercises: Jump roping, Mountain Climbers, Squat Jumps, Jumping Jacks, Walking Lunges and Sprints
I repeated the 10 minute exercise sequence (detailed below) 4 times total – equaling 40 minutes.

1st sequence

5 minutes – Jump Rope
1 minute – 50 Mountain Climbers
2 minutes – 100 Jumping Jacks
1 minute – Squat Jumps
1 minute – Sprints back and forth
- break for 1 minute -

2nd sequence

5 minutes – Jump Rope
2 minutes – 100 Jumping Jacks
1 minute – Squat Jumps
2 minutes – walking lunges

REPEAT AGAIN.

Now try that and see how you feel!!! If you are not pouring sweat, exhausted and about to puke then do sprint your heart our for 5 more minutes! Happy Summer Training y’all!
