It's going quite well with the BeachBody Challenge. I am seeing changes. I am down to a 29" waist already, but I only dropped 1 lb. Go figure! LOL! What I love most is that I am getting stronger and I want to do more and see more results. Yoga Booty Ballet isn't cutting it as an only workout for the day, but it isn't like I have a ton of time to devote to a major workout session with 4 young children and an entire household to run and homeschool to prepare for. So here's what I've been brainstorming to get my rear in gear:
1. Devote my planned workout time to the DVD workout of choice.
2. Do 1 minute intervals throughout the day...how many push-ups can I do in a minute? How many burpees? Hold plank. Squat thrust. Plyos. Lunges. Crunches. Roll-ups. Sit ups. How long can I hang from the chin-up bar, etc.
3. Go for evening walks with the kiddos. If it isn't storming or sweltering out, I can strap the baby to my body, and load the other three into the stroller and go for a walk with them. It's a mile round trip from my house to the top of the hill and back again. 1 mile with nearly 100 lbs of kiddos is a good workout, especially since it is a slight grade uphill on the return with a fairly steep hill finish. Plus, it relaxes and soothes kiddos who are getting fussy and tired from their day.
Any other ideas?
Do leg lifts while washing dishes, squats when brushing your teeth, little things like that!
