Jumping for joy!

Jumping for joy or actually doing squat jumps for joy. I've been half assing my workouts. If I don't wake up early enough, I do squeeze it in after the boys have lunch. 

But, I got my ass out of bed early enough

I worked out my legs and had fun sweaty it out!!! My legs are going to feel it, once they decide to wake up. I'm so glad I did this today. I didn't get up early yesterday, so I worked my abs while the boys played together yesterday.

How do you get your workouts in?

Finally...leg day!!

I had a little company during the last half of my workout. Lars makes the time go by fast!

I was finally able to get my butt in gear to get up early enough to workout before the boys (at least Shane) woke up. It felt great to get a great leg sweat going! Oh how I've missed my heart beating like that (from something other than running).

I haven't been running very much for two reasons: (1) my neck had been hurting so bad, it hurt to hold my head up. (2) as soon as my neck healed, my knee started hurting. I know it started hurting because I've been too lazy to workout my legs. I learned a long time ago, that I must workout my legs in order not to be put on the injured list. The legs feel great this morning!

Here's what happens when you try to do a good, happy and energetic jump for your blog, but keep missing the right count. Oh well, OK try, I guess.

Are you injured? If so, what's hurt? If not, have you ever been & how long ago?

Where'd the motivation go?

Ever since I was sick, I'm having a difficult time getting back into my routine of getting up early and working out. I did workout 4 times last week. But, 2 of those days were runs with the boys. I'm not saying my runs were bad, I just wanted the runs to be an addition to my morning routine.

I did manage to get out of bed before the boys this morning. Since I haven't worked my butt or legs lately (besides the runs), I decided it was a leg day.

Since its been a while since that area has been worked, I poured sweat and was left exhausted! So, it was a great morning! I love this feeling. I hope I can remember it when my alarm goes off at 6am tomorrow. 

What do you do to boost your motivation?

Sweating before the sun comes up

I just couldn't get myself up yesterday morning. If I don't get up at 6, my workout is the thing that gets eliminated out of my schedule. 

I did manage to get up this morning, though! I'm glad I did! It was leg day. Even though I absolutely hate doing leg day, I love how I feel afterwards. 

It was another sweaty workout. And, with the time change, I was finished before had made an appearance. Lazy sun! I'm doing curtsy lunges in the above picture. I hate doing those because I almost fall over when I do them. It's worth it because it works muscles I don't often work.

I'm working on a fun post for next week. 

What workout do you hate doing, but love the results?
