Today’s mini-workout

Yesterday was a fast day (Yom Kippur), so I never do anything that demands a lot the next day.  So today’s super mini-workout was:

8 overhead squat presses

8 mountain climbers

20 jumping jacks

(no rest)

8 overhead squat presses

8 spidermans

16 modified jumping jacks

And I was dead.  Took a long walk around the yard.  Went back and got my 5 LB dumbbell set, and walked a lap (about 100 yards).

Felt great to get outside.  It’s such a beautiful day.  The temp here in SE Ohio is a lovely 76.6.  Feels a lot cooler.

So, what kind of exercise have you managed to get in today?

Check out Denise Austin's 8 Tips For Burning More Calories!

Denise mentions doing mini-workouts throughout the day.  That's what I like to do.  I'm at the computer for at least 5 hours or more every day working on things, so it's much easier for me to do the mini's.
Here's my list:

• 10 minutes gazelle (I might do this several times a day.)
• 10 minutes Holly Rigsby's Fit Fast 4 week workout plan.
• 15 minute Fit Yummy Mummy Sample Workout (see free pdf) 
• 5 minutes Iron Gym: chin ups, pushups, dips, abs

It's working, and helping me stay awake at the desk.  It also keeps my tush from getting sore.  My chair's really hard.
