Getting it all done...

How do we do it? I ask myself this all the time- today felt like one of those days. Not enough sleep and too much to do, but somehow I seem to get it all done. As moms I think we just have learned to become multi-taskers extraordinaire!

Here's today's workout:
1) Plie squats with a side tap out: Start with regular squats making sure to keep your knees over your ankles and squeezing your glutes at the top. After 12 reps, hold the squat and tap your right foot out to the side holding the squat the whole time. Do three sets and switch sides.
2) Cross country arms: anchor tube under right foot in front then simultaneously bring one arm up into a front shoulder raise while the other arms goes back into a triceps extension. Swing arms back and forth as if cross-country skiing. Make sure your tummy is in tight and knees are soft. Only bring the arms up as high as your shoulder height, making sure not to strain your neck. Do 20 reps, pulse and switch sides.
3) Lunges with bicep curls: Start by anchoring the tube securely under your right foot. Luge your left leg back making sure your knee stays above your ankle. Once you have mastered the lunge portion, add in a bicep curl coming out of the lunge. Do 15 reps and then with feet together do 15 bicep curls to burn out muscle. Do 3 set of each side.
4) Wall sit with external rotator cuff: Come into a squat with your back against the wall. Lower your body until your thighs are almost parallel to the ground. Take this opportunity to correct your posture- make sure your shoulders and head are against the wall as well. Hold the wall sit and then take green tubes in both hands with palms facing up. Keep elbows close to torso and slowly rotate your hands outward towards the wall. Do 20 reps, pulse, one arm at a time, pulse and then one last set with both arms at the same time. Make it burn!

Hope you enjoy today's workout and that we'll see you in class next time!
