Snowday workout

Winter has arrived here in Jersey.  Not officially, yet, but the weather seems to think otherwise.  It's snowed several times over the last few weeks, with more scheduled.  And, it's been cold.  Like, so cold you don't want to go outside.  

So getting outside for any workouts (other than walking to and from work) has basically been off the table lately.  I like getting my sweat on outside, but I like feeling my hands and toes better.

To make up for the lack of outdoor stimulation, I've been doing my best to vary my inside workouts to make them fun and keep me on my toes (and give me something exciting to get me out of bed at 5:15 a.m. when the world is so much colder than my cozy bed).  

I don't use the Bosu as much as I should, but it really is a great way to add some extra intensity to tried and true moves. (Bonus points if your Bosu is slightly less than fully inflated, like the one at my gym is.  You need an extra level of balance and focus not to fall off of the thing!)

Here's one that I did the other day.  It took me about 40-45 minutes to complete (I'm really slow on the 1-legged squats to warrior 3's!).


You should do 21 reps of each exercise the first round, 15 reps the second round, and 9 reps the third round.  Of course, you could do this entire workout on a balance disc, a pillow, or the ground if you don't have access to a Bosu. 

Even if it's snowing outside, you'll get a great, full-body workout and be a sweaty mess by the end of it.

Enjoy!
