Sometimes it can be challenging to work out at home with a little one running around or just because it’s hard to motivate and push yourself to exercise in the comfort of your own home!
When I tell myself I am going to do something I usually stick to it… so I quickly wrote down my workout plan. I find if I put it on paper I HAVE TO DO IT!
Sunday was the perfect day to workout at home because the weather was horrible, freezing rain and black ice!! From start to finish the workout took me 30 minutes and I was dripping sweat.
I started the workout with a 6 minute Warm-up alternating between Jogging, Jumping jacks, Butt Kicks, & Jump Rope (1 min 30 seconds each)
CARDIO MAX BODYWEIGHT CIRCUIT
AGILITY LADDER- HEISMAN DRILL
BURPEES
PUSHUPS
X-JUMPS
AGILITY LADDER HOPSCOTCH
SQUAT HOPS (AGILITY LADDER)
Each exercise is 1 minute, try to complete as many repetitions in 1 minute as possible. Rest 30-45 seconds in between each exercise.
Complete circuit 2x
Here are a few videos of the some of the exercises:
Burpees (This is a video of me doing the Burpee minus the pushup) IMG_2285
X-Jumps (During this exercise you perform a full squat with your feet close together and then Jump out into an X) IMG_2290
Pushups (Ava jumped on Marc’s back so I had to snap some pictures)
Agility Ladder Heisman
This workout took me about 20 minutes to complete. I took a little more rest after some of the more intense exercises like X-JUMPS. I was completely winded at one point so my rest was 45 seconds. At the end of the workout I did some light stretching to cool-down, I felt great!

I love cardio workouts. I was hot & super sweaty but not sore the next day which was great because I had to teach 2 classes.

The agility ladder is one of my favorite pieces of equipment, along with the bosu ball I’m glad you are going to add it in tomorrow!
