Gyms are closed....but parks are open!

Happy Easter everyone! I just took the turkey out of the oven (and with the preheated oven have thrown in my protein prep for the week!) and am just about to get ready for our Easter Dinner guests.....but I thought I'd share a quick workout Brandon and I did this afternoon knowing that we'd be pretty stationary the rest of the day!

Since the Tough Mudder is coming up in 4 months, we need to start prepping pretty intensely! The runs are a big part of the race, but so are the 24-26 obstacles we'll have to complete. So today we did a mini-fit/speed test that we can check in at every month or so preceding the event. If you have a big event coming up, setting little goals and checking in on them every few weeks is a great way to stay focused!

So what did we do today?
SET 1:

21 reps: KB swings

21 reps: 1 legged TRX squats

21 reps: TRX atomic push-up

Then each exercise repeated for 15 reps and lastly, each exercise repeated for 9 reps. Done for time, with minimal rest in between sets-miraculously neither of us took a break for the entirety of the 9 sets. Next month we'll do it again and compare our times. FYI Brandon only beat me by 2 seconds....you better believe next month I'm going to bring my A game.....

SET 2:
- Shuttle Sprints - 3 trees at different distances from us in the park - 1 short, 1 medium, 1 long sprint (those of you who have played any sports requiring sprinting - like basketball or hockey will know these as 'suicides')
- 10 KB swings
- 10 TRX sprinter squats
- 1 long sprint to the far tree

3-4 minute rest - set repeated 3 times

Official feeling post workout? Jell-o legs.....I'm just glad I'm not the one carrying the KB home!

And with that, I'm off for Easter Dinner!! Will be sure to share recipes for the apple pecan sweet potatoes that I'm pairing up with an apple cinnamon turkey!!
