Daily Workout 👙

I’ve been doing this whole workout daily. I put together my some of my favorites and enjoy doing this rather than working out to a video. Just my preference. (Although I still use videos here and there.) I’ve been doing this as a minimum, and anything extra is a plus. I’d really like to get out and start running.

Each part is about 15 minutes, so workout is about 30 minutes total. Start with Part 1, go through once, rest and repeat, and finish with a 60 second plank. Then move on to Part 2 and do the same. Just sharing in case anyone is interested. If there are certain things you’re not a fan of, replace them with your own! That’s what I did to create this.

(I know many are doing the ‘squat challenge’. With this workout, you’re getting in 200, though they aren’t back to back.)

Part 1:
50 jumping jacks
10 burpees
20 alternating forward lunges
30 mountain climbers
20 plank toe taps (10 ea. side)
20 plank w/ oblique crunches
10 push ups
20 side plank dips*
20 side plank leg raise*
20 inner thigh raise*
50 squats

(*Opposite side 2nd time around)

Rest 30 sec & repeat
End 2nd set w/ 60 sec plank

Part 2:
50 jumping jacks
15 press outs (5lb)
15 lunge w/ tricep push backs (5lb)
15 chair squat w/ anterior raise (5lb)
30 scissors
50 bicycle crunches
50 bridges
20 reverse crunches
15 chest press w/ crunch (5lb)
15 chest fly w/ double leg raise (5lb)
50 squats

Rest 30 sec & repeat
End 2nd set w/ 60 sec plank

I wish you could freeze certain moments in time and go back to them for a bit whenever you’re missing them. I really don’t want my baby getting any bigger. Even though I’m excited for all the experiences & adventures we’ll have for the rest of our lives, I get really sad knowing we’ll never get to rewind and have those moments again.

Elliott is tucked into bed laying on his side, his teeny fingers grasped around his stuffed animal. Staring up at the glowing green stars on the ceiling. Blinking slowly. Perfectly content. I wonder what he’s thinking as he drifts off to sleep?

He means the whole world to me.

“You will never have this day
with your children again.
Today is a gift.
Breathe and notice.
Study their little faces and feet.
Relish the charms of the present.
Enjoy today mama,
it will be gone before you know it.”

It’s crazy how all of the things I thought were important don’t even come close anymore. My whole world has completely shifted and I absolutely love it. Nothing can beat this feeling. So thankful for my little E. :-)
