over & unders, walking lunges, wall sits...oh my....


Who would have thought we would miss the ab workout? How did Rita know I will be going skiing over Easter break in a couple of weeks. Seems like she was trying to get our quads ski worthy all in one morning workout.


I travelled to Minnesota last week and with good intention packed my work out clothes, but with the stress of long days of work, the time difference and the weather, my running shoes did not even make it out of my suitcase. Although I always took the stairs and never did the elevator, I felt very guilty and added to it with stress eating.


It felt so good to be back at a normal morning workout this morning. What fun Rita had in store for us. We wall sat for quite a while and then added some variations with one leg and then the other. Throw in some walking lunges (uphill) and the quads really start to burn.


We did one partner exercise called over and unders. One partner makes a bridge and the other crawls under. Then the partner goes into a modified push-up and the partner jumps over with two feet. I was so afraid I might accidentally stomp on Julie. She was such a good sport. We also did some "peek a boos" with the fence post. We kind of felt like cuckoo clocks.


We started in the dark due to the time change, but it was great to be outside and moving and sweating again.
