At Home Workout

There is a delay at work this morning, so I used some of that time to get in a good workout at home.

Here's what I did: 

Warm-up
Hip Mobility Series
  • Fire Hydrants
  • Hip circles counterclockwise (each side) 
  • Hip circles clockwise (each side)
  • Cook Lifts (10 each side)
Planks
Bridges

Work Sets
Body weight Squats (2 sets)
Goblet Squats with 25# Kettlebell (1 set)
Good Mornings
Stability ball exercises
Band Pull-aparts
Kettlebell Swings

Foam Roll - T-spine, Quads, Hams

Stretch - Child Pose, Half Pigeon, Forward Fold  (I think a little yoga is the best way to end any workout)

Hope you are enjoying the delay this morning.

Quote of the Week

I was reading various fitness and personal trainer blogs last week, and somewhere in all those blogs, I came across this quote:

“The hardest thing to do is work hard when no one is watching.” -Ray Lewis

I finished school to get my certification in Personal Training a few months ago.  Without the workouts at the gym for school, and without being a personal training client any more, it really has been more difficult for me to have the same motivation for getting in a really great workout.  And my nutrition needs a serious overhaul.

I've thought about New Year's Resolutions and I'm not really setting any.  I'm going to get back in the habit of setting my monthly fitness goals.
