Where have YOU been?!

Wow, really...where have YOU been?! Is a question directed directly at me!

NO need to explain what I've been doing in the past let's just get started today! I'm a fitness fan...all sports, all types of exercises...you name it...I enjoy it.  Movement in our life is key.  And with that I'll show you what I did during my 60 minute lunch today.  Let me breakdown my lunch-hour:

-6 min walk to gym
-6 min change of clothes
-37 min workout
-6 min change of clothes, wipe down
-6 min walk back to work
Total : 63 minutes

It can be done...my goal was to get the 37 minute Cardio Training + Lower Body Strength Workout done 2xs.  I was huffing and puffing only 1x through...better luck next time!

Here's the workout~I included 8lb weights on all lunge exercises:

I had 5 min remaining and couldn't start the workout again so I picked up 2 5lb plates and since I've been playing softball I mimic throwing the ball with a firm grasp on the 5lb plate...then I put both 5 lb plates together and swing them as I would at bat!  Batta batta swinga batta!  Makes for a great twisting yet controlled motion and really good for power hitting!

Mondays are about the only day I can dedicate to the gym but that's only because I do other exercises throughout the week and I don't have an hour to dedicate inside the gym.  It can be done...work on those minutes and have a protein bar or shake on hand upon your return!

Have a nice Monday...and remember Train for Life...everyday!
