No Excuses Workout Series – Full Body Workout #1

December 17, 2013

Welcome to the New Workout Series…NO EXCUSES. Each month I will post a workout that you can do practically anywhere. With very minimal equipment (if any) so that there are NO EXCUSES. No gym membership required here. So let’s get to this month’s workout…

No Excuses Workout Series 1

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD AND PRINT!

 Note: Please consult with a physician prior to engaging in any kind of exercise regimen. It’s better to get the okay from your doctor before beginning any new exercise routine…you want to make sure your body can handle the stress of exercise.

Warm up: 5-10 minutes (treadmill, stairs, walking, running..whatever you can do to warm-up)
Squat press: (Grab some dumbbells or a resistance band) Stand hip width apart. Hold onto your dumbbells or resistance band at shoulder level, palms facing forward. Squat down. Pay attention to where your knees are. Don’t let them go over your toes. You want to get down to about 90 degrees at the knee joint. Keep your belly button pulled into toward your spine (core tight) during the entire movement. As you stand up, push your arms above your head. When you come back into the squat, bring your hands back to shoulder level.
Half Lunge with one arm row: Grab a dumbbell. Set yourself up into a half lunge. Front leg in lunge, back leg straight. (It would be a full lunge if you bent your back knee) Rest your same elbow on your front knee (so if your right leg is forward, rest your right elbow on your knee). Dangle your opposite arm down in front of you with the dumbbell. You should be hinged forward at the hips (pretend you are going to pick something up off the floor). Pull the arm up, leading with your elbow, up towards the ceiling. Palm facing towards the center of your body. Make sure that shoulder blade is pulling towards your spine. Pretend you have a pencil resting on your spine (parallel). Try and get your shoulder blade to pinch that pencil. Relax your arm back down. Don’t forget to keep your core tight (belly button towards your spine)! Repeat on both sides.
Plank Jacks: Get in a Pushup Position. Make sure your core is tight. Stabilize your shoulders/arms. Now start performing a jumping jack with your legs.
2 min jump rope
Repeat 3xs

Lunge kickback: Perform a stationary rear lunge (lunge backwards). As you stand back up, perform a rear kick. (Basically raise your back leg behind you and squeeze your butt at the same time). Repeat on both sides.
Push-ups: Either regular or modified on your knees.
Mountain Climbers: Get in a Pushup Position. Make sure your core is tight. Stabilize your shoulders/arms. Bring one knee towards the outside of your same side shoulder. Repeat on both sides, alternating.
1 min High Knees: This is like jogging in place except your goal is to bring your knees up as high as you can.
1 min Jumping Jacks
Repeat 3xs

Squat with side leg lift: Same squat position as the first one. Squat down. When you stand back up, center your weight over to one leg and raise your opposite leg out to the side. (Side leg lift). Make sure your toe stays pointing forward. Alternate both sides.
Bicep curls: (Grab some dumbbells or resistance band) Stand comfortably, feet about hip width apart. Arms down by your side, palms facing forward. Curl your arms up towards your shoulders and then release back down towards starting position. (Bend at the elbow)
Torso twists: Sit down on the floor. Grab a dumbbell. Bend your knees and slightly lean back. Make sure your core is tight!! Protect your back! Hold your dumbbell in front of you, close to your body. Twist to the left and then to the right. Repeat.
2 min Jump Rope
Repeat 3xs
Cool down (and Stretch!)

    Phew, that is a workout. I’m tired just reading this. I running my first 5k on the 1st and so far all I’ve done to train is drink lots of water and try to get movin’. I might have to try some of these to help me out.

    How often does this routine need to be performed a week?
    How long before changing routine?

    I usually do it three times a week, it’s going to be different for each person. I usually swap it out once it begins to feel “easy” and move on to something else and go back and forth between a few.

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣
⁣
In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣
⁣
The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣
⁣
“Since the pandemic, violence against women especially domestic violence has intensified” @unwomen⁣
⁣
While the majority of homicide victims are men, women are the primary victims of intimate partner homicide, including homicide–suicide events.⁣
⁣
Drug dealers get longer sentences than rapists. ⁣
⁣
Breonna Taylor’s murderers still haven’t been arrested. ⁣
⁣
Globally, 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner⁣
⁣
#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣
⁣
So let’s #challengeaccepted that. ⁣

Would you ever say the things you say to yourself Would you ever say the things you say to yourself to another woman? ⁣
⁣
I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣
⁣
So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣
⁣
Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

I love this tree collar. Head over to stories to see what I have from her Christmas line that launched today!! It’s SO GOOD!! ⁣

Wanna hear some random things about me?! ⁣ ⁣ 1 Wanna hear some random things about me?! ⁣
⁣
1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2️⃣ I went to an all girls catholic high school and was asked not to take Spanish 3 because I talked too much 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5️⃣ I listen to murder podcasts to fall asleep.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
6️⃣ Playing with makeup is my happy place. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
7️⃣ I love the hottest hot sauces that most people won’t even smell. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
8️⃣ I recently became a plant mom and it escalated quickly⁣
⠀⁣
9️⃣ If I won the lottery I’d buy a tiny house in the middle of nowhere ⁣
⠀⁣
🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣
⁣
🌟 I’m so glad you’re here! I’d love to hear a fun fact about you!! 🌟 ⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
