Variety is the Spice of Life

January 3, 2015

Today was another full body workout. Since the yoga yesterday was a bit heavy on legs and arms (shoulders), I focused on finding a workout that had more abdominal exercises. The pin of the day was "Early Morning Cardio/Strength Workout" http://www.pinterest.com/pin/273312271106886617/

It probably should be noted that I did this around 1, so in no way was it early morning, but I slept in, so in terms of morning, it was still kind of morning. I mean, I had just finished my coffee, so... yeah.

 

This is actually a workout I had done off my Pinterest board before (shocking, I know). I did up some of the numbers to make it a bit more challenging to me. I did 20 crunches, instead of 10, 20 calf raises, 30 second planks, and 15 second side planks. My abs are probably one of the stronger sets of muscles I have, so I wanted to make sure they were challenged. I certainly felt the burn during the Russian twists. In future, if I repeat this workout, I will probably add weight to the squats and Russian twists.
