Sparrow's Nest Academy - OR - Mama's homeschool gym and angst chamber

• Oct. 10, 2009 - Mama's sweating, again...

 

 

It has been a really slow month, fitness wise.  I've had two workouts in the last few weeks - one run, and one set of tabatas.

But now it's Thanksgiving - we've patched up a bunch of leaks in our house to make it cozy and warm and then got down to work.

Remember, i'm an old :) lady with seven children ages 13 down to 1 (and my 13 yo will be 14 next month!)  If i can do this, anybody can!

And thing is, if i work out, i spend energy - but i also have WAY more not only that day, but for a few days afterwards.  If i sit on my butt, i have less and less energy, and lethargy invades...  Let's fight lethargy and get fit!

Tonight's workout - deck of death - this sounds scary, but i'll refresh your memory...

To do this workout, you need

a/ a deck of cards

b/ some kind of apparatus to do chin ups or rows on

(see video here to see what a row is... )

and that's it!

Aces = 11 reps

face cards = 10 reps

number cards = the number on the card = the number of reps you do...

Suits -

hearts - rows

clubs - situps

spades - rows or chinups

diamonds - squats

This doesn't take too long - grab a deck, and do it as fast as you can!  Post your times here in my comments section if you want :) - i promise i'll be impressed!

• Oct. 10, 2009 - Moms of Many Exercise Challenge!

Posted by mamazee
This was a brain child of Becca Beard of http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/BeccaBeard/481256
this blog :)
from the MOMYS list (mothers of many young siblings - membership requires you have four children under eight at some point in your life to post :)...but you can read and receive the digest if you don't have that)
it's a challenge to moms of bigger broods to encourage us to fit exercise into our busy days - but moms with only one child could well use the encouragement, too - i can remember only too well :)
