Let's Jump Back to It

/

Distractions are every where.  Sometimes in the best way possible and sometimes not so great!  Sometimes we all need that distraction so that we can get out of the routine and sometimes the distraction doesn’t let us create a routine.

As I look back at March, we experienced both types of distractions. The key was, being able to jump right back into what we were working on once the distractions was removed.  It is easy to forget that some routines require a little bit more ramp-up time once you stop.  Can you think of an example?  How about “working out”?  How many of you had challenges to jump back into your “workout routine” after some break?  I can easily raise my hand for that.  It takes discipline to get the body out of “relaxation” and put it back to work. It also requires patience to get back to where you were prior to the distraction/break.

Now, for this month, I will keep it short so that you can “jump right back into” what you were working on. :) Let’s call this one a friendly distraction. :). And with that, I will share with you one of my older 15-minute routines.  This one always help me to jump back into my workout routines, when needed.

Warm-up: [find your selves set of stairs with at least 10 steps]

  • Run up and down the stairs - 10 times

Move 1: [no break in between moves]

  • 15 Squat Jumps

  • 10 tricep dips (use the stairs)

  • 20 Squat jumps

  • 10 pushups (you can do it elevated on the stairs)

  • Plank hold for 10 counts

[30 second rest before moving onto Move 2]

Move 2: [need resistance bands or dumbbells]

  • 10 seated bicep curls (sit on the stairs)

  • 10 seated forearm curls (palms facing down and the lower arms on your quads)

  • 15 seated bicep curls

  • 15 seated forearm curls

[REPEAT IT ALL FROM MOVE 1 THROUGH MOVE 2]

Move 3:

  • 10 glute lifts (laying supine)

  • 20 sec hold on the glute lift

  • 8 single leg Glute lift (right leg up)

  • 10 sec hold on the glute lift

  • 8 single leg Glute lift (left leg up)

  • 10 sect hold on the glute lift

Once you are done, do NOT forget to stretch!

Enjoy distractions but do not forget to jump right back into “it”, whatever that “it”is for you.  And High Five on your 15-minute workout! :)

thanks to our distraction, we were able to revive our “MOM & SON HIKE” routine back up!

After a two week break because of too much snow, we get right back into our skiing routine! :)

and now… here is one we are trying to figure out how to revive! pre-snow vs. last weekend!!!
