It was 1:15pm as I was putting my 2 year old down for her nap and holding and bouncing the baby in hopes that he would also fall asleep. No such luck, but with plans that began in just over an hour that lasted until dinner time, I knew that it was now or not at all today to get my weight workout in. So, I stuck the baby in his bouncy chair and set up the garage for my workout. Workout began at 1:30pm in about 1,000 degree heat and 100% humidity (or at least that's what it felt like). For the first 25 minutes, between sets, I bounced and fanned the baby. I finished the last 10 minutes of my workout inside on an exercise mat on the floor and let my oldest take over bouncing the baby. Was it the best workout ever? Nope. Was it good enough? Yep! Will it at least help me maintain the muscle I already have? Yep! Did I show my kids that my health and physical activity is important to me and important in general? Yep! Will I be super sore tomorrow and have a hard time going up and down the stairs? Time will tell. In case you are wondering, here is what I did:

Barbell Squats 3 sets of 12 superset with Barbell Standing Calf Raises 3 sets of 20

Barbell Deadlifts 3 sets of 15

Barbell Stationary Lunges 3 sets of 12 on each leg

Lying Leg Raises to target the outer thigh 2 sets of 15 triset with Lying Leg Raises to target the inner thigh 3 sets of 20 and Body Weight Glute Bridges 3 sets of 20.

Make time for your health and your sanity!
