February Workout of the Month

Some of you have begun working out. Awesome job! Getting started is the hardest part. Once you get into a routine, it gets easier. I promise!

So, I wanted to help you get started right. Here is a workout that utilizes full body, multi-joint (compound) exercises and has your cardio all taken care of.  No need to spend another 60 minutes of the treadmill with this one.

Set your timer for 20 minutes. Grab some dumbbells (10+ lbs.).

Do as many rounds of this as you can in 20 minutes. Members of FitHomeschoolMoms.ning.com can view videos of each exercise.

Burpees x 15
DB Push Press x 15
DB Alternating Rows x 15 ea side
Mountain Climbers x 15 ea side
Push Ups x 15

Only take a rest after the push ups and no more than 60 seconds before starting back at the top.

5 rounds is really awesome.

Hugs~~

Christmas Fitness Gift Guide for 2008

Before you head out to your local sports store to purchase that expensive treadmill or recumbent bike, take a look at my fitness gift guide and see how you can use inexpensive equipment to get in the best shape of your life. 

I’ve put together a list of things that I and my clients use.  There are no machines whatsoever in our programs.  It’s simple and it gets the job done fast! Plus, you won’t have huge equipment hogging up space in your house which means more room for bookshelves!  Always a plus for homeschool moms.

Here is a  list of my favorite equipment to create your at home gym. Read more
