Mondays

Mondays are always rough

Mainly because Sundays are my rest days

And me and my husband always have the best intentions of getting up at

4:30 am...

But, it never happens.
Probably because we stay up so late on Friday and Saturday
that even though we go to bed super early on Sunday night
we need makeup sleep...

Why so early you ask?

Well we are doing sort of a double workout

Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
And in order to get our 2 hour workout in
before my hubby goes to work we need to get up that early!

Here are the work outs we are doing.

Les Mills COMBAT

 

And....

P90X



 

I am a huge fan of the beachbody workouts.

I did INSANITY earlier this year

and LOVED it!!!

But it was super killer on my knees

which were already bad because of my years of dance...

I mean I couldn't sit down without wincing

it was that bad.

 

I loved Insanity a lot but, I love Les Mills COMBAT

Even more!!!

Its so much fun I don't even feel like I am working out!

Let me tell you more about it...

Les Mills is a program that comes from

New Zealand.

They were famous runners...

Olympic atheletes and when they

"retired" they decided to open up a gym

They created the Les Mils Pump program which has spread everywhere!

They teach it in gyms all over the world!

And now they've created this body combat program

its basically a MMA style workout..

so you're punching and kicking

and its just so much fun!

I am usually dripping in sweat after!

 

We decided to add on P90X

for the weight training aspect.

Cardio is really good but the only way to

change the shape of your body you need to lift some weights.

Tony Horton bugs the crap out of me though.

So I usually silence him and pump up some music!

I know some of you may find him inspirational..

but he just doesn't do it for me...

Its probrably because he tells us its okay to hit pause.

No Tony I want you to tell me to keep pushing through!

 

Anyway the thing I love most about doing the beachbody workouts is...

That I get to stay home!

I highly recommend it for all Mommies out there.

I try to wake up before my baby does because working out with him 

crawling around only makes things harder.

but I love that I don't have to find a sitter or leave the house to workout.

I can do it while he is sleeping and then when he wakes up

I get to spend all the time I want with him!

I am actually going to become a beachbody coach within the next few weeks..

so hit me up if you want/need anything!

I leave you with a commercial for COMBAT!

Enjoy!
