See this guy?
He is MY accountability partner! Is he convincing? This is the hubby--and he works out with me because he loves me so....not really because he loves working out with me just yet:) But, I pleaded and begged and guilted him relentlessly until he agreed to become my garage box buddy...The first few workouts were a bit challenging for our relationship (see the aforementioned Instagram shaming photo), but now we enjoy it!! I think he has seen the change in his body, energy, and abilities and has figured out that I actually know what I'm talking about. Amazing how that works, huh?
So, here's what you need to get started: a little bit of space, a whiteboard, a great Pandora playlist, and a finite amount of time to get busy. Yes, I swear the busier you are, the more motivated you are to get in and get.it.done. My after-school teacher buddies know exactly what I'm talking about:)
Here was a great Monday workout: my new favorite go-to is a bear crawl. Holy shoulders. We bear crawled to half court (yes, we were in our school gymnasium), but try to go at least 100 meters. I always tell people that the goal is to keep moving, so if you need to modify movements....ALWAYS modify them so that you can keep moving. If jumping squats get to be too much, modify them to air squats! I built in a 1 minute rest between each 7 minute set, and it's do-able, challenging, and done in 21 minutes. Sign me up!!
For this workout, we did sets of 9.15.21.15.9 for time: for weighted swings, you can use a kettlebell or dumbells of your choice. This was our first day of incorporating burpees and bleacher step up--you can modify to a jump if you're ready!
Have fun starting your first sweat session!!
