Reverse Prayer Pose On A Road Trip

It’s raining again :(   That doesn’t stop us though!  My husband and I went to the gym at 5:30am for 90 minutes workout.

I wanted to try something different today, which I do upper & lower strength training all at once for 60 minutes.  I have been doing 45-60 minutes of upper & lower body training 2 times a week for each part.  It has been challenging for me to do that much on top of yoga class (2 times a week) and cardio workouts.  So I thought I could do upper & lower body workouts 3 times a week for shorter duration.  In my head, I figured: 30 minutes each for upper & lower body strength conditioning trainings + 30-40 minutes cardio workouts.

With that said, today’s workout included:

Upper Body Workout (Focus On Chest):
•    Dumbbell Bench Press   #10 3×12
•    Bent Knee Push-Up   3×12
•    Dumbbell Pec Fly   #12 3×12
•    Lying Dumbbell Pullovers   12# 3×12
•    Dumbbell Kick-Backs   8# 3×10
•    Bosu Push-Ups   3×10
•    Stability Ball Dumbbell Press 5# 3×12

Lower Body Workout (Focus On Quads):
•    Leg Extension   #20 3×12 1 together, 2 alt, 3 my choice ;)
•    One Leg Squat 3×10
•    Step-Ups   #10 3×16
•    Walking Lunges   #10 3×16
•    Stability Ball Pikes   3×10
•    Stability Ball Sit-Ups/Crunches   3×20
•    ”Bicycle” – Oblique   15 per side
•    Crunches with Twist   3×12

•    20 minute intervals on treadmill

I didn’t have enough time for cardio workouts :(   I think I can squeeze 30 minutes of cardio, if I do my ab exercises at home.  I’ll try it again on Wednesday :)

By the way, we’re going to be on a road trip starting this Thursday.  It’s going to be about 7 days and I’m already anxious about how the heck we’re going to get everything ready!  What about food, clothes, places to stay – oh, how about getting exercise during the trip??  I’ve been collecting ideas of exercises without or minimal equipments, so my husband and I can somewhat keep up with our workout even when we’re on the road.  One exercise that I’ll be definitely practicing in the car (while I’m not driving) is this:

I need to dig out some summer clothes, since we’re heading to south :mrgreen:
