Just a little diagram I made to remind myself.

We dig this.

so true.

Monday night I scooted to the gym after a client meeting and did another evening of mixed cardio. I’m really liking this on my non-running days. I did 30 minutes on the bike, 10 on the stairmaster and 5 on the rowing machine. Even just that small amount on the rowing machine tires out my arms, it boggles my mind that B and some of my other friends would do that for hours in college! And in a real boat!

After my sweaty cardio sesh, I decided to use a Bosu ball to add core work and balance to my strength training. By doing some of my usual exercises on a Bosu ball, I was able to work my whole body in less time.

My Bosu ball workout looked like this -
(all of the following are with the Bosu ball facing up with the exception of the pushups) and tricep dips
pushups 2x10
tricep dips 2x10
single leg lunges 2x15
squats 2x15
butt lifts 2x15
crunches 2x15
bicycle crunches 2x15
plank 2x30 seconds 

I really liked this. I had hoped to take a yoga class that night but the schedule didn’t work. By incorporating the Bosu ball, I did a bit of the balance work and strength training that would have been covered in class.
