FITMOM Durham's Motivated Monday

Happy Thanksgiving Mommy Mavens!

I hope you got to spend this Thanksgiving weekend enjoying good food, friends and family.  We are still recovering from our indulgent meal last night and will be spending today quietly at home. 

This week I have a fitness challenge for you!  All you need is a park bench and access to a track or field that is approximately 400m (the size of a track) and a stopwatch.  This workout is suitable for all fitness levels and is a great way to boost your metabolism, especially if you feel as though you have been experiencing a plateau.

Try to do this workout twice over the course of the week to see if you can improve your time!

Warm up:

Run 2 laps of the 400 m track/field followed by full body stretch

When you are ready to begin, grab your stopwatch and start the timer.  The time will run until you have finished 3sets of the workout.  Once you are done, record your time.  Later in the week, see if you can improve your time.

Step ups on the bench x 20 each leg(beginners can do stationary lunges instead)
Push-ups x 20
Tricep Dips x 20
Run 1 lap of the 400 m track

Repeat this cycle for a total of 3.

Finish with a cool down and full body stretch.

Thanks to Brent Bishop for this fitness challenge.
