Where's the Beach?

Double Workout Jason got up for swim this morning at 5 am, so I decided to get my lazy rear out of bed and get my cardio done. I did Shock Cardio Athletic Step . It's a fun workout, but maybe a little over zealous for a 5 am workout when I'm not fully awake.It did give me a nice morning boost of energy at least. I did my weight workout at lunch today. It's actually the last workout for Week 6 of the 8-week rotation. It was 2 sets of 12 reps done as supersets increasing weights. SS#1 Shoulders - Upright rows (with dumbbells) Biceps - Alternating bicep curls SS#2 Quads - Squats Inner thigh - Alternating plie squats SS#3 Chest - Incline dumbbell chest press Back - Underhand row (dumbbells) SS#4 Legs - Static lunges Triceps - Overhead triceps extension I also added calf raises. It was a good workout that gave me a nice extra boost of energy. Too bad it ended around 2 pm ;-) Stir Fry Dinner tonight was an easy veggie stir fry. We had lots of fresh veggies...

I just did the first 3 then abs from the same disc and stretched. I wanted to keep the intensity on the lower side as Jason and I were planning on hill repeats at lunch. Also, It was nice to do something to get myself moving this morning rather than roll out of bed and rush straight to work. I seriously roll out of bed and am able to be at work within 30 minutes. I eat my breakfast when I get to my desk. Do you allow yourself time to wake up in the morning before getting ready and rushing of to work? Like enjoy reading the paper over breakfast? While the weather was sunny and i...
