A Season for Everything

My Jimmy is in getting fit mode! I love it when he gets like this. It is so motivating when we are both striving for health. He started with a determination to do P90X. I love P90X. It is an awesome program... but it is a big chunk of your day! I finally had to say something, "Are you sure this is the best program for you right now?" He works anywhere from 10-13 hours a day, our kids are both in sports right now, we have church responsibilities. Overall, we have quite a bit to occupy our time. His first response was, "YES!" to which I said, "Ok, dear, go for it!" After a few days, though,  he saw the light. He still exercises every day and some days still an hour or more, but some days he has to cut it to a quicker workout. I love P90X and there is a season for everything and everybody, but I also love that I can feel a good workout in a short amount of time. My friends recently introduced me to this great 30 day gem. I completed day 10 today and I am loving it! My muscles are feeling it for sure. If I have more time, I take the dog out for a jog or get in a good yoga session as well. She's a little crazy but I love some energy in my instructor. ;)  Have fun!

For the days when there's just not enough time

Today has not gone as planned. By the time I was ready to work out there wasn't enough time!  That's why I found this sweet little video. Beginners will probably need to modify some of these moves. Gotta love Tony Horton!

P.S. I found Tony's youtube channel today! (Not sure why I never looked before.) I haven't had time to look around much, but I'm pretty excited. I like the short video that popped up when I first went to the site... great thoughts about making exercise work for you. Check it out here.

Arms, Booty, Core

OUCH! These are all labeled as beginner, but I'm thinking that's not really so. Plus she manages to stay perky through the whole video. Impressive. These are simple but very effective workouts. Good ones to build into your routines two or three times a week.

I did these with a jog outside today. There's a chance of rain and it's beautiful, not to mention the fantastic smell of the desert on a rainy day. Oh happy me. :)

*Form is important. If you can't do the exercise with the correct form, then modify to avoid injury.*
