One Minute Drill

Day three of a three-day weekend today and I’m excited to spend some extra time with Brian before heading back to work for the week. We are going to try to make the day as productive as possible!

Workout

I got my metabolism revving first thing this morning with a 30 minute at-home workout that I am calling the “One Minute Drill” with core emphasis.

Do each exercise for one minute and repeat the entire 10 minute circuit three times through with a 30-second break between sets.

This definitely got my sweating and by keeping my core engaged throughout, I was feeling the burn!

Breakfast

I was feeling lazy when it came to prepping breakfast again so a bowl of mixed cereal was the decision.

Special K pecan crunch with Fiber One honey squares.

Topped with almond milk.

If you have this Monday off, I hope you enjoy it!! And if not, I hope you enjoy your day at work just the same!!! Off to get some stuff done! 🙂

Question:

Of the cardio exercises in my workout today (jumping jacks, high knees, skaters, jump rope and mountain climbers) which is your least favorite? I absolutely hate doing mountain climbers…maaah!

Long Workout Saturday

It’s the weekend. Ahhh, and a three-day one at that! 🙂

Workout

I started this Saturday morning off at the gym to get my workout out-of-the-way early. After a quick 8-minute-mile to warm up I hit the free weight section for some strength training.

I did the following circuits each twice through:

Circuit #1:

Circuit #2:

Circuit #3:

I then headed back to the treadmill for a sprint circuit:

• 1 minute run at 8.5 mph
• 50 seconds of recovery

Which I repeated through until I reached 1 mile.

Next up was some toning work for my legs:

And finally stretching!!

Breakfast:

I had a Luna bar before heading to the gym so when I came home I put together a mixed cereal bowl.

Fiber One Honey Squares and Special K Pecan Crunch with almond milk.

I enjoyed my bowl of cereal while this face pleaded next to me for a bite.

Eventually he got distracted by his toys and outside so I could finish breakfast before cleaning up after him.

I swear this dog has too many toys that he spreads throughout the entire house.

And God-forbid we try to clean them up and keep them nicely in his basket.

Fat chance Mom and Dad!

I’m off to get ready for a busy day! Brian and I have some wedding stuff to get done today before heading to dinner with friends tonight! I’m excited because it’s fun wedding stuff too!!! 🙂

Question:

Do you tend to get in longer workouts on the weekends?
