FULL BODY

 I WOULD BE LYING IF I TOLD YOU THAT I DIDN'T PUSH MYSELF A LITTLE HARD LAST NIGHT.  I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH AN ELBOW AND A SHOULDER INJURY FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND I AM CERTAINLY FEELING BOTH OF THEM TODAY.  HAVING A VARIETY OF EXERCISE COMBINATIONS IS KEY.  TONIGHT WAS 

5 SETS OF 10 STEP UPS ON EACH LEG, 100 TOTAL, WEARING AN 11# VEST AND HOLDING A 25# DUMBBELL IN EACH HAND

5 SETS OF 20 PUSHUPS BETWEEN STEP UP SETS WEARING 11# VEST

THE NEXT DAY IS ALWAYS THE INDICATOR OF EFFECTIVENESS!  

I RARELY HAVE A PLAN FOR THE EXERCISE ROUTINES THAT I DO.  MY DECISIONS ARE ALWAYS BASED ON WHAT MY BODY TELLS ME AND HOW MUCH TIME I HAVE.  HAVE FUN, GET CREATIVE WITH YOUR ROUTINES, AND LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!  EVEN IF YOU ONLY HAVE TEN MINUTES, GO FOR IT.  YOU CAN DO A LOT OF AIR SQUATS OR PUSHUPS IN 10 MINUTES.
