Three Things Thursday



My workout last night consisted of three separate parts. Perfect for a Three Things Thursday post!

Part 1




I've done this routine once before. That time it felt challenging but not killer. Last night, however, I could barely make it through one full set! So, I just did the one set and moved on to...

Part 2




I only did this routine one time through, as well.

Part 3




Since I was working out on my back deck I didn't feel like hauling the stability ball outside (nevermind that I brought my yoga mat and my handweights out there). So I just did my crunches on the floor. I did two sets of each move and my abs were burning by the end.

So, three short workouts that worked my entire body. Not too shabby.

Oh man, that looks killer! Thanks for posting. I was just thinking "Crap, I need to come up with a short, minimal equipment workout for today." You saved the day! :-)

I wholly admit I get most of these workout ideas from the Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life blog. She's a personal trainer who likes minimal equipment strength training. Love it!

I like the idea of pushups in between workouts. As long as the workouts you are doing in between are not planks. That is just evil.
