Two for the price of One

January 10, 2015

I know, I know, I didn't post yesterday BUT I did get a tiny workout in. That migraine that showed up Thursday night hung around until about 10 last night. So once that left, I did a pin called "Cure Headaches with these Yoga Poses" http://www.pinterest.com/pin/273312271112765215/ Quite apropos for the night.

It wasn't challenging, but it did get rid of the lingering headache.

Today was a full body day. But, I felt like I didn't do enough yesterday, so I started with a pin "Good Morning Yoga Sequence" you know, in the morning. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/273312271112421638/

This pin is great for stretching out stiff muscles. However, it doesn't give you a lot of warm up stretches. I do those, and then try to make this morning like a flow (you have to add in downward dogs between 2 and 4, skip 3 and do it after your lunge). In fact, I did them like this: 1--2--downward dog--6--4--5--3--downward dog--other side of stuff--7--8. Her sequence doesn't flow as well.

I got to the full body workout around 5. For that I did the pin "No Gym? No Problem." http://www.pinterest.com/pin/273312271110448908/

 

 

This was a tough abs workout more than anything. To make this pin workout better as a circuit, I broke it up. What I ended up doing was: 2x20 triceps dips, 2x30 crunches, 2x15 squats, 2x25 bicycle crunches, 2x30 lunges (15/leg per rep), 2x20 side crunches (20/side/rep), 2x10 burpies, 2x25 reverse crunches, 2x20 Russian twists, 2x30 scissor kicks, and I added 2x10 pushups. Mostly I just halved the numbers in the pin to make it work as a workout I did twice, but for some of the exercises, I felt cutting them wouldn't be enough of them, so they got doubled. This workout took longer, but I will definitely feel it in my morning!
