Morning Workout

This morning, I decided I was going to attempt to throw myself for a real loop and trade my afternoon workout for a morning one. I'm there now, so, we'll see how I do, I suppose!

I've always wondered how people do it, especially those with kids. How on earth do they fit everything in? Maybe this os one of the ways. After all, I'm always wishing that u have more time to myself in the afternoon to finish work I've taken home, or to cook, clean, etc. Unfortunately, by having my workout in the afternoon, that takes up a good 2.5 hours between the workout itself and drive time.

Drive time, that's a whole other story. It takes me a half hour to get to the gym on a good day. Then if there's traffic, forget about it! When I'm home in Syracuse, I love it, because the gym is literally down the street. Queen of cramming too many things into a small amount of time, so decreasing my drive time is very beneficial to my already jam-packed schedule.

That being said, the workout I'm doing today is:

Morning:

35 minutes on the elliptical
7 Crossramp, 9 Resistance
400 calories, 3.42 miles

Afternoon: (abs and arms)

3 sets of 50 crunches
3 sets of 20 air bicycles
3 sets of 20 bent-knee hip raisers
3 sets of 12 side lateral raises
3 sets of 12 front dumbbell raises

It's very important to pair weights with cardio. When I first started working out, I was unaware of this. Was easily the queen of cardio, sometimes working out twice a day, but it wasn't coming off the way it should have been. Enter Kelsey Beyers' blog. The routines I do come primarily from her recommendations with a few personal tweaks.

Xoxo,
