My Easy Chair Circuit Training Workout

After searching online I wasn't able to find a basic circuit training workout in less than 5 minutes so I created one. I did some brainstorming and I chose exercises that will target problems areas for me, and many other moms today. We are busy with family, work, school and other obligations and may not have time for even 15 minutes. So this workout is quick and effective gets right to the fat burning zone. It can be done twice or once depending on how much time you have. Today I did it once but tommorrow I will do it twice. I want to let moms and women know that you shouldn't feel bad if on some days you cannot exercise for a longer time just do this workout. I will have a video uploaded later tonight but if you want to get started do the following: jog in place for a minute, begin tricep dips for 30 secs, jog in place for another minute, do mountain climbers for 30 seconds, jog in place for minutes, do shoulder presses for 30 seconds, seated squats for 30 seconds, and finally jog in place and your done.

Here is the video below:

My new running shoes and clothes

Today, I got my first item on my wishlist, the new balance 1290 running shoes and a cute running outfit. I had so much fun today trying on my new shoes, running on the treadmill, doing push-ups, jumping lunges. I felt a double dose of motivation. Now I'm pretty tired but that's okay. I hope to start training for a 5k, and be able to run a race later this year. I will update when I register for a race.

I can fit my dress again!

So Valentine's Day is coming up and I thought that I would see if I could fit a dress that was too tight the last time I tried it on it barely zipped up. I took it in the bathroom and put it on, and to my surprise it fit, I could zip it up in the back. That let's me know my workouts and healthy eating are not in vain. That motivated me so much to keep doing the right thing. The numbers on the weight scale haven't moved much but I am loosing inches. Here are a few pictures of me in my dress so you can't see a full body shot I'm using my iPhone, but I will have a full body shot when I get my Cannon power shot megapixel camera❤

February Fitness Goals and Checklist

This month I have great fitness goals and plans, I want to keep things simple yet fun. I will be working out 3-5 day. My main focus will be on cardio and strength training. On my instagram profile @ sunshine7031 I listed 3 challenges doing more push-ups, Plyometrics ( jump roping and jump and jacks) along with post exercise stretching. Once I purchase the right running shoes for overpronated feet I will begin treadmill running. My diet will be a modified clean eating plan which I will explain later on another post. On the days I cannot exercise I will keep up with my house work exercise workout minimum. I will show you my measurement pictures of my progress too this month. I want to encourage other mothers that are trying to loose the baby weight. I will also be able to show my fitness and running gear haul later this month. Have a Great Fitness Month!
