No Excuses Workout Series – Full Body Workout #2

January 16, 2014

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 3

**You will need at least a resistance band for this workout. Dumbbells also if you have them.**

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)
Lunge Switch Jumps: Start out in a lunge. Jump in the air and switch your legs so that you land in the opposite lunge. Repeat.
V-Sit Shoulder Press: (either use dumbbells or a resistance band) Sit on the ground with your legs out in front of you. Slightly lean back and lift your legs off the floor and form a V with your body. Take your dumbbells or resistance band* and start with your hands up in a shoulder press position (elbows at shoulder height with a 90 degree bend). Maintaining the V-sit, push your hands up over your head and then lower back to where your elbow line back up with your shoulders). Repeat. (*If you have a resistance band, sit on the middle of the band and perform exercise as instructed above minus the dumbbells.)
Plank: Pushup position except on your elbows.
Squat Jumps: Start with feet hip width apart. Lower down into a squat and jump up in the air from the squat position. Return back into the squat position on landing and repeat.
One Leg Bicep Curl: Standing on one foot, perform a bicep curl. (Either use dumbbell or resistance band).
Straight Leg Dead Lift: Start with feet hip width a part. Legs straight (do not lock your knees). Lower down with a flat back. Lower as far as you can go while still maintaining a flat back. Return to standing position. (You can use dumbbells for added weight. You can use a Resistance Band as well: Stand with both feet on the resistance band in the center. Loop around and under your foot on each side to shorten the band and provide resistance to this exercise. Perform exercise as stated above.)
V-Ups: Start off lying down on your back. Arms down beside you (or up above you by your ears for a harder exercise). Slowly bring both the upper and lower portion of the body off the ground towards each other, forming a V. Lower back towards ground but don’t touch the ground. Repeat.
Jumping Jacks
Tricep Pressdown: Using a resistance band looped through something sturdy like an upper door hinge. You want the band to be placed above your head. Take the handles and start with your elbows tucked in by your side, 90 degree angle, palms facing the floor. Slowly pull the handles down toward your body and then return to start position. Repeat.
Standing Calf Raises: Start off standing with your feet hip width apart. Raise up on your toes and lower down to the ground, but don’t let your heels touch the ground. Repeat. Hold on to some weight for added resistance.
Walk outs with Arms: Start in a standing position. Bend over and touch the ground with your hands. Slowly walk forward with your hands until you are in a push-up position. Keep walking your hands out as far as you can go without falling. Slowly walk your hands back in towards your body and stand back up. Repeat.
Jog in Place
All Fours Rear Kicks: (Use a resistance band) Get on your hands and knees on the ground. Hold on to the resistance band between your hands and the ground. Put one foot in the band and kick your leg straight back and slightly up. Return to starting position and repeat. Then repeat on the other side.
Bent Over Row: (Use a resistance band) Start standing with feet hip width apart and the resistance band in the position as it was in the Straight Leg Dead Lift (looped over and around each foot to shorten the band). Bend your knees and lean forward with your upper body, but maintain a flat back. Hanging on to the handles, pull your elbows up towards the ceiling, squeezing your shoulder blades in towards your spine. Slowly lower back down and repeat.
Plank

Repeat 2-3 x’s total.

Cool down and stretch!

“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⁣
