The Healthy Bride

Watching the Vancouver Olympics is so inspiring!  I find it difficult to just sit and watch, so have worked out a workout I can do while the Olympics are on TV. This is an indoor workout, so no excuses about the weather!

Jump Rope – during every commercial (this should last about 1-3 minutes and is GREAT cardio)

Between your Jump Rope sesssions:

Squats with weight – 2 sets of 20 (weight should be “heavy” for you)
Standing forward lunge – 15 each leg – with weights
Standing reverse lunge – 15 each leg – with weights
Single leg supine (on your back) bridge (works hamstrings) – 2 x 20 each leg

3 times through:
Chest Press (on ball, bench, or foot stool) 15
Lat Rows   15
Pushups 25

3 times through:
Biceps Curls 15
Triceps Extensions 15
Overhead Press 12-15

3 times through:
Reverse flyes 10
Lateral Raises 10
Front Raises 10

Crunches on the ball or floor x 30 – 50
Bicycles on floor 30 – 50
Obliques each side x 20 each way
Supermans x 10 (hold each for 2 seconds)

Don’t forget to jump rope during commercials!

Have fun watching the games!  A great excuse to get into better shape for sure!
