The other day, I was working out here at home and decided to combine a couple of different bootcamp-style workouts to create my own! It turned out to be a pretty decent workout, though not the hardest thing I've ever done, so I thought that I'd share it with you guys!
Also, if you want, you can always do 5-10 minutes of cardio between the two circuits. And don't forget to cool down and stretch! Without any additional cardio, the circuits took me about 20 minutes to complete, which is great if you're pressed for time!
So yesterday we all went up into the community to have our first event with the ladies of 2012!!! Last year we did some sort of craft every Tuesday for a couple of months, and are continuing a version of the Tuesday meetings this year. Yesterday's activity, for example, was a maze that the ladies (split into two different teams) had to cross. Basically it was a sheet with 30 squares on it, and you had to figure out which squares made up the pathway to the other side. Every time a mistake is made, that person has to exit the maze and let the next member of their group attempt to figure it out! It was so much fun!!!! Truly a great start to the 2012 activities and meetings!!!!
On to another random subject! :D As some of you may know, Julie from Peanut Butter Fingers has a monthly book club in which readers of her blog help choose a book that is then read during that month. At the beginning of the next month, Julie then posts a review of the book. I've been following the book club for a little while now, and am really excited about this month's book "The Night Circus"! I'm going to try to see if I can get it here and read it!!! Anyone else reading the book this month?
Well, that's about it for today....see ya'll again soon! :D
Ive been looking for some good home workouts!! I need to save that one. It sounds intense!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday! I like the idea of creating your own workout---then you get to do what you feel like doing, and like you said, you can add in cardio to kick it up a notch (I probably wouldn't...I like the less intense workouts).
ReplyDeleteSounds like your 2012 is going well so far---great, sets the tone for the year!
That activity does sound like fun! Weeks been good! Usual stuff here: work, working out/teaching & spending time with my family and friends!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great circuit workout, Gen! Circuit workouts are my favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't thing I've ever heard of "The Night Circus." But that maze games sounds like a love of fun!
Boot camp and circuit style workouts like this are my absolute favorite! They kick my butt and make the time go by suppaaaa fast
