What's on tap for your Saturday or your weekend?  Are you getting a workout in?  Challenging yourself one day?  Trying something new?  
Whatever it is I know and you know it will be worth it!  Go ahead and go for it.
I say this because it's all hard work.  I have always believed there is no such thing as luck = it's all about hard work!
I've done a lot this week, really pushed myself and I'm really sore.  I'm hoping you find a way to push yourself, too.  Getting out of your comfort zone is how we grow - and that's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual!  Just know it WILL be worth it!

Have fun this weekend!

And, by the way, my oldest son turns 16 tomorrow.  How did that happen?  I might get a little sad thinking about it. . .   

What challenges you?  What's out there you want to try?

The 100 Workout . . .one way to wake up

I got up today feeling not my usual perky self.  I'm normally a pretty "perky" person and my sons often accuse me of being too perky.  Today is a cross train day on my new training plan, but I just couldn't make myself get to the gym.  So, I went downstairs and followed the 100 WORKOUT.  You have likely seen or heard of it and I'm glad to say it worked.  It worked so well at getting me energized I did it twice and then added to it.  

So, here's my tip: on days when you just can't get going ( I always say give it 10 minutes and that normally does the trick!) or don't have a good workout plan, try this 100 WORKOUT.  It's quick, easy (not so much) and gets you going and back to perky.

100 WORKOUT

100 JUMPING JACKS
90 CRUNCHES
80 SQUATS
70 PUSH UPS
60 JUMPIING JACKS
50 CRUNCHES
40 SQUATS
30 PUSH UPS
20 JUMPING JACKS
10 MINUTE RUN
(Repeat as you like!)

It was also interesting to note, that while I worked out the TV was on and I was able to watch THREE back to back exercise infomercials!  I was inspired by AB Rev (hadn't seen that one before), P90X (which I have and love) and THE FIRM EXPRESS (I just love listening to the instructors; southern accents.  I think this one is new, also, as it is an Express)

Do you workout at the gym or at home?  What's your favorite?
 
Enjoy
