If You Can Do It At Home, You Can Do It Anywhere

I've been continuing my trend of strength workouts at home. This has been the only way to squeeze in a decent workout without affecting the high number of assignments that my grad program is dumping on me. I've pulled my yoga mat out of hybernation, and it is still the dreamiest color of leaf green that I've ever seen. In lieu of yoga, I've been doing my strength routine:

1. 3 sets of 12 push-ups
2. 2 sets of 15 crunches (arms extended above my head)
3. 2 sets of 15 leg lifts (repeat on both sides)
4. 2 sets of spinal stretches (cat pose if you do yoga)
5. 2 sets of 15 bridge poses
6. 2 sets of 12 lunges (repeat on both sides)
7. 2 30-second wall-sits

I'm doing this every other day before I leave the house, and I love the little bit of pain as I walk throughout the day. If you're not sore, you know it's not working. I've worked out in my home office, in our house in the mountains, and this morning in my boyfriend's living room while I watched "Ellen." It was great.

And P.s., I just figured out that people were leaving me comments, and I loved them. So if anyone is still reading this, your feedback is super motivating. And my derailment this weekend was little chocolate eggs.
