Bosu Ball At Home Workout

| 4 Comments

Happy friday!!

Yesterday afternoon I completed a quick but intense workout that left me sore. I am so happy to say that I will NOT be picking up a single dumbbell or weight today.

As I have mentioned in my Postpartum Journey Posts, I would like to practice and gain strength to be able to do consecutive full range Pull-Ups. Right now I can only do 1. My goal is 4 and I am giving myself 2 months. Ever since that collarbone injury back in early February, Pull-ups have been extremely tough because they place an enormous amount of stress on my shoulder. That is why I have been slowly working up to them! The Jumping Pull-ups in this workout are a great way to target all the muscles a normal Pull-up would, without placing too much stress on the upper body.

This is Marc’s new Pull-up Bar that I got him for his birthday. It is kind of like a present to me too.

Here is the workout:

Warm-up 100 jumping jacks, 100 butt kicks, 100 jump rope passes

The jumping pull-ups got me! My back is feeling it this morning :)

The game plan for this weekend revolves around Christmas!! Tonight I am making some Christmas Cookies with my mom! I will be sure to share the recipe if they come out good.

I will also be finishing up some shopping. I have a few stores I need to quickly get to at some point this weekend. I’m sure the stores will be a ZOO.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

I would have loved to film my workout but I didn’t have someone to help me film!!

Here is an Example of a Jumping Pull-up

What is one exercise you want to work out?

What is one muscle or area of your body that is weak?

  1. We have a pull up bar and I used to use it but for some reason it now sits in the garage unused…. I need to bring it back!

    • You should definitely bring it out. The jumping pull-ups were great, they got my heart rate up and worked my upper body at the same time!! I am going to try to do them on a regular basis :)

  2. Remind me in a couple months to purchase a pull up bar. We had one before moving to Kuwait, and I cannot tell you how much I loved that thing. It surprisingly got a good amount of use too.
