A quick 3 points

I did this workout that I saw on Pinterest today:

1 minute running the stairs (I added this)
30 jumping jacks
5 push ups
10 crunches
25 high knees
7 squats
1 minute stairs
5 push ups
10 crunches
5 push ups
10 spider man push ups (I added this)
7 squats
30 jumping jacks
1 minute wall sit
5 push ups
25 high knees
10 super mans


It took about 15 minutes and I earned/burned three points. To give you an example, I would have to walk for 35 minutes to earn 3 points. I did this is less than half the time and it's not dependent on the weather. I will OBVIOUSLY need to add a couple more rounds to make it a workout. I guess today was sort of a test day to see what I thought. Boot camp is always around 45 minutes and includes weights, which I will need to add. So here's what I think it will look like:


1 minute running stairs
30 jumping jacks
5 push ups
25 high knees
7 burpees (squat thrusts)
10 crunches
7 squats
5 push ups
10 crunches
5 push ups
10 spider man push ups
7 squats
30 jumping jacks
1 minute wall sit
5 push ups
25 high knees
10 super mans
10 mountain climbers
7 burpees (squat thrusts)

20 curls
20 shoulder press
20 tricep kick backs

REPEAT 3 TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF 3 SETS

This should earn around 9 activity points per work out (remember, my minimum by WW is 30 per week). And, I can do it at home and hit all my areas.

I'm such a more sane nicer person when I've worked out AND had my priority time. It's like I get all the junk out and the good in. I'm pretty sure my family would agree. Sometimes they've been known to send me for a time out when these haven't happened. I know, sad. Casey used to come home from work when the babies were little and be able to determine in about 2 minutes if I'd been to the gym. He would turn me around and be like SEE YA! Don't come back until you've gotten your sweat on! Poor man. He had no idea my level of crazy when we met. He's a GIFT though and knows how to encourage me instead of getting frustrated. Now he calls me before lunch, "Have you had your time in the word? A workout? A shower?" If the answer is no to any of those, he encourages me to stop what I'm doing and go. I heart him. With big pink fluffy squishy hearts.
