What I'm doing To Work out

So I have the boys at home with me and it definitely isn't easy to get to the gym. So I have had to get creative at home. So first off I have to tell you that this is the most weight I have ever had to lose. I have had to lose 20 or 30 pounds several times in my life. But  65 pounds!! This is pretty intimidating! So I have broken it down to 10lbs increments so I don't feel so overwhelmed. So far I have lost 11lbs. Pretty good start!

So here is what I am doing for my workouts right now. I have Jillian Michaels 30 Day shred DVD that I do about 3 nights a week. I really just figured I needed to get off my butt and start moving more!! That has made a big difference! Keeping house after 3 boys is work let me tell you! Cleaning house is an excellent workout if you really get down and dirty with it. I am constantly running around the house picking up after my 3 year old. Now that is a workout! Ever tried to keep up with a 3 year old? ha ha

Instead of vegging on my phone while I am waiting for dinner to cook I turn my kitchen into my gym. Incline push ups on the counter, air squats, I use the stove handle to steady my self and do side legs lifts, I even do high knees and butt kicks!! All this while waiting for dinner to cook. My 3 year old thinks this is pretty funny but he usually joins in and coach's coach's telling me good job and counting my reps;) Such a good supporter he he. I am constantly running around the house picking up after my 3 year old. Now that is a workout! Ever tried to keep up with a 3 year old? ha ha

I go for a walk about 2 to 3 days a week. I scored a double jogging stroller only used 3 times for $35!!! Crazy right!! So I plop both of the kiddos down in that and get outside. Pushing all that is a darn good workout!! It feels so nice to get outside and stretch and get some fresh air.

Another thing I do is I dance in my living room! I turn the good ole Pandora Radio on and just go crazy. My 3 year old gets a kick out of it and chimes in with me. Pretty fun and love the bonding :)
While I am doing all this dancing I throw in some burpies, jumps squats, sit ups, and push ups. All to get that heart pumping!

Feels great to be watching the pounds burn off. Its really all about just getting yourself moving and More active during the day. Park in the back of the parking lots when you go out so you have to walk a little ways into the store. Carry your child instead of putting them in the cart. That will get the heart racing! All this little changes add up and make all the difference in your weight loss.

OK hope this inspired you a little:) Just thought I would throw some of my little tricks out there for ya and let you know that they work.
