Maximize Your Moves Workout

Happy Fit Fridays! I have been so bad about posting these lately. Maybe because I haven't been feeling like I was doing such a great job of staying "fit" recently. I continued my workouts but not as frequently as I had been, and I was feeling blah.

Well, this week I definitely took control and changed that. I've been at the gym every day (including Sunday), and I'm feeling so much better about myself already. So, as I write this, I've decided to try something with fit Fridays...add a "Weekly Workouts" blurb, where I share the basics of my workouts for the week. I won't post all details (though I'm happy to if you're interested!), but I will share when I went, what I did (cardio, strength training) and how long I did it. I'm aiming for some extra accountability!

Weekly Workouts (4.14-4.20.12)
Saturday	Rest Day – in Chicago!
Sunday	Elliptical Incline Power Walking	50 mins. 10 mins.
Monday	Elliptical “Maximize Your Moves” Workout (2x through)	30 mins 30 mins.
Tuesday	Elliptical “Maximize Your Moves” Workout (1x through)	35 mins. 15 mins.
Wednesday	Elliptical Incline Power Walking	45 mins. 15 mins.
Thursday	Strength Training (legs|arms|core)	55 mins.
Friday	[Plan to get 1 hour in before *date night*!]

The workout I'm sharing below is one I noted above.  I love it because so many of the moves are dual - targeting arms and abs, or legs and arms, etc. By focusing on two areas I don't have as much time to dwell on how one area is burning or whatnot. Plus, you get a whole body workout with fewer moves. Score!

So, here it is...let me know what you think! :)
