On The Road Workout Ideas ~ AZ Half

Happy Saturday!
It’s very early on this first Saturday in September. I’m drinking my coffee and planning my day at the gyms.
Many people have asked for pictures and/or video to go with the typed out workouts. Easier said than done, but I have time and help this weekend. I could just take my camera with me when I workout, but then everyone would see how sweaty and disgusting I get when I workout. It’s not pretty ~ Let me rephrase. Sweat is awesome! But I don’t think the pics/video would capture the moment quite right. I’ll do my best though.

 ON THE ROAD WORKOUT IDEAS
These workout moves should be self-explanatory.  Don’t dismiss their simplicity ~ You put these combinations together, and you’re in for an excellent, super sweaty workout ~ you’ll also be in control of your INTENSITY. Intensity is everything when it comes to exercise. More about that soon…
-
Pushups with body-weight squats
There are so many different ways to put these together. Try 10 pushups and then 10 squats; 15 pushups, 20 squats; 20 pushups, 30 squats.
-
Jump rope, with or without the rope.
-
Lunge with a plank
I think everyone has a love/hate relationship with these two classic moves! Do 20 lunge steps, and then plank (elbows and toes, looking toward the floor) for 30 to 60 seconds, repeat that sequence 4 times. Variation: Lunge walk backwards.
-
Jump rope, with or without the rope.
-
Situps with a side plank
Some people cannot do a situp – do what you can – just make sure you feel it in your abdomen rather than your neck. Do 10 or 20 and then side plank for 30 to 60 seconds (on elbows or hands, left side toward the floor); back to situps and then side plank  (right side toward the floor). Repeat that sequence 4 times.
-
Jump rope, with or without the rope.
