a good lunchtime workout

So this week, unfortunately I can’t workout with my trainer. My current partner has gotten too pregnant to workout with me and I just can’t afford 1:1’s. So I am on my own until I find someone else to train with.

So because of that, I was on the hook to give myself a good workout, and do it in under 30 minutes since I had a last minute 1pm meeting.

So I looked back through my posts (this is why I do this!) and put together the following, which took me exactly 27 minutes and I had a quick stretch and was out of there.

Warm-up:

• 20 squats on Bosu
• Hold squat for 30 seconds
• Hold one legged squat 15 seconds, do both legs

Set 1, do two sets:

• Lunges. Holding 10 lbs in each hand, lunge forward with one leg, deep lunge then press back really using your front leg.  Switch legs , 10 each leg.
• 10 jumping lunges
• Pull-ups,  on pull up machine.    (I did 10 on level 7)
• Squat jumps holding medicine ball. Holding ball between your hands squat down bringing ball with you, then jump up and bring ball over your head, land soft and low. 15
• Hamstrings on the BOSU

Set 2, do two sets::

• In a high plank position on the bosu, jump up with your hands then land low. 10
• Prison jumping Squats. (Hands behind your head), make sure you land soft and low. 20 seconds
• Chest Press lying on ball.  15b weight, until fatigue
• triceps with pulley, while holding a lunge, until fatigue

Core:

• supermans
• side abs with medicine ball
• 45 second plank

My training plan calls for a 5K race and a bit of a lower mileage week this week. I am actually away for the weekend so I won’t hit a real 5K and won’t be able to run on Saturday anyways. Depending on how I feel when I get home on Sunday I figure I will either do a “mock” 5K or an easy 5 mile run, we shall see we shall see.

Before I post my healthy meal of the day, let me just say that I don’t think I have been eating enough. Don’t get me wrong I have been eating whenever I am hungry, and more,  but sometimes I find that my brain is still hungry even when my stomach is full.  Anyone else ever get “brain hunger” ?  You feel low blood sugar but are full?  And this isn’t cause I eat crap people. So this morning I made two servings of pancakes from a Bobs mix, with yogourt, blueberries and maple syrup.  Hoping this will help.

healthy meal idea of the day:

I love soup!  So how about this roasted tomato and garlic soup. Perfect for Fall.
