It Hurts So Good

Try this workout at home the next time you can’t fit in a hour of cardio or you are crunched for time.  Trust me.  This will hurt.

6 rounds, no breaks:

10 push-ups
15 squats
20 sit-ups (crossfit sit-ups)
10 deep-knee lunges

I came across this website: calicrossfit.blogspot.com yesterday.  I don’t have access to all the equipment at home needed to do the exact workouts she posts, but I can do most and modify as needed.

I made the whole family do these last night and we are feeling it today! (Well Ryan and I are anyway. The boys did the workout but certainly didn’t put in the effort we did. When do kids learn how to do sit-ups? This was the hardest part for all of us.) :(
It hurts SO good.  I actually have pain in my glutes! This is a huge success for me.  I need strength in this area more than anywhere.  I love when a workout that on paper seems simple just crushes you.  Gonna have to add this routine and some others on a 3-4 times a week basis.  There is no way this won’t make me stronger and fitter. Love it!

Note to self: 5 weeks til Puerto Vallarta! Swimsuit and short skirts. *gulp*

    Ann is crazy :) I will try yours though… I love feeling the burn after any workout. Keep up the good work and Puerto Vallarta will be a breeze in your shorts and suit.

    I could definitely feel it the next day since all I have been doing is running, walking and weights for the arms/back. Guess I needed to switch up my routine a bit.

    When do you leave on your vacation and how long are you going? Did you find a nice place?
