September is a good time to get back on the Wagon!

So, I'm finally back from holidays and back at work - last week! LOL! This week I'm finally making the time for myself. Plus, I feel fat in all my pants.... :}

Last night I made my husband take the kids to their evening activities so that I could have an hour to myself to walk the dogs. It was a beautiful night, and we logged a 4 km loop that took us just under an hour. We were really moving at a good clip as I let my younger dog Abby set the pace!

With hockey try outs, gymnastics starting and both kids being a grade higher with more homework it's not realistic for me to think that I'm going to be able to get out every night. So, this means I have to make something work over my lunch hour. I've workout long enough with Laurissa to know what to do. I also have my own TRX, skipping rope and Gym Boss.

 
So, today I convinced Shanan to join me out in the little park beside our office building. We ended up doing 9 tabata's, but as we only have the one TRX we paired exercises as follows: 

• Squat's - Warm up
• Mountain Climbers & Star (TRX)
• Lunge 'swing throughs' & Shoulder Press (TRX)
• High Knees & Tricep/Bicep (TRX)
• Deadlifts (no weight) & Bulldogs/Hamstring curls (TRX)

In total this was 36 minutes of work. We were pleased with ourselves for doing it, and not worrying about who might be watching (and actually there weren't that many people around). Those that did notice us were more intrigued with the bright yellow TRX than Shanan or I!

So, hopefully tomorrow's schedule will allow me to do another 4Km with the dogs and I'm planning to hit the TRX in the park on Thursday!

Later!
