Work it OUT!

Following a night of interrupted sleep, my nerves were feeling a little frazzled this morning. So, as I sat down to eat breakfast with my little man, I jotted down my "to do" list, and topping the list was a bold

WORKOUT

So, that's just what I did! If you're feeling a little rough around the edges, a good sweat session will help restore your focus, and might even put a little pep in your step - so you might as well give it a go!

The Workout Breakdown

                -  One-Legged Curl 10lbs dumbbells
                - Hip Heist

                - Frog Hop
                - Forearm Press

Followed by 10 reps, 2 sets of:

From a standing position, hinge at the hip while keeping legs strong and straight. Reach for your foot while lifting the kettlebell up with the other hand (pictured above)

Have you had a great workout today? Do you have any favorite workout DVDs for when your motivation is lagging? And, do you write a plethora of to do lists? I think I'm addicted to them!
