As a busy mom I understand that going and spending hours in the gym is not always feasible. Not to mention the time it takes to commute to the gym & back. As a busy mom my workouts either involves my 18 month old daughter or take place during her naps. I need to be efficient and get done what needs to be done because my shower needs to be done before she wakes as well. This is a back yard workout I created that she enjoys to try to do as well.
Set a marker at each end of your yard or about 30 feet apart.
Jog laps around the perimeter for 5 minutes
Stretch major muscle groups 5 min
Circuit 1: Do each exercise the number of reps specified at each end of the yard & sprint to the other side & repeat for the same number of reps.
15 pushups, 15 sit-ups, 15 jump squats
14 pushups, 14 sit ups, 15 jump squats
13…
12…
Repeat down to 5 then go back up increasing by 1.
Rest 2 minutes
Circuit 2: Same idea only this time we are adding a new exercise at each end. Each exercise is for 16 reps. The cardio in the middle will change each time.
Dips/bear crawl/dips
Add reverse lunges& dips/crab walk/add reverse lunges & dips
Add Russian twists/skip/add Russian twists
Add Plank jacks/skip backwards/ add plank jacks
Add alt jump lunges/sprint/add alt jump lunges
So the last pass will look like this dips, reverse lunges, Russian twists, plank jacks, jump lunges, run to the other side & repeat.
Rest 2 minutes & repeat.
Jog 5 minutes
Cool down stretch 10 minutes
This is one mom's journey, my journey, to the best shape of my life by the time I turn 40. No Trainers, No gym memberships, No crazy diets. I am going to prove that you don't need to take time away from your family and spend hours in the gym or deprive yourself to be as healthy and fit as you can possibly be.
