CIRCUIT WORKOUT.

I love love love a good circuit.  But what's not to love.  Pick a bunch of your favorite exercises and then some of your "not-so favorite-but-still-good-for-you" exercises, write them down in a list. Do the exercises and repeat.  SIMPLE.

My main objective for my circuits:
1. Burn a lot of calories in a short amount of time.
2. Get my sweat on.
3. Make it hard enough that by the third set I want to throw in the towel.
4. Keep it fun and interesting.

So here is one of my favorite full body circuits.

Circuit (SO ORIGINAL)

1 MINUTE JUMPING JACKS

20 SQUAT+CURL+PRESS

20 PUSH UPS

1 MINUTE JUMPING JACKS

20 WALKING LUNGES+OVERHEAD EXTENSION

1 MINUTE JUMPING JACKS

1 MINUTE PLANK HIP TWIST

*REPEAT 3X*

I am off to finish getting my house ready for visitors. Big week planned. Now if only the weather would cooperate with our plans.  It snowed last night. Bummer.  I was kind of loving the 65 degrees and sunny in January. 

Have a great day!

PS. I am focusing the posts for the month of February on "Getting Back to the Basics"

A good friend asked if I would help her start running and just what to do to get started.

So that inspired me to base the month on Fitness and Nutrition 101

So if you have ANY questions at all...concerning anything basic, whether it is looking at a food label, to what is the proper way to do a squat, to how do I start running, to how do I do a food journal...anything at all

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW.

I want to answer questions and make my posts as relevant and as informative as possible.

oh and PSS (or is it PPS?)

 Kristin H. One post I will talk about stretching and flexibility and my take on yoga and pilates.

and Jessica N. I am one day soon going to talk about how I feed my army my family healthy.

I do love all your comments. I especially enjoy answering questions. So please ask!
