Adjusting to the time change has meant moving the primary activities into my lovely garage, running any day that I can get home before dark, doing yoga when I've exhausted all the other possibilities, and integrating the PT exercises into regular programs. Behold the exotic locales!
I have two current favorite garage programs that I modify a little bit each time I do them. One is with resistance tubes, and the other brings back some boxing moves and athletic drills. I don't have boxing gloves and a bag, so I'm using weighted gloves, which makes mountain climbers and spider jumps a little more comfortable on the concrete floor.
Tonight I did the boxing stuff like this, two minutes for each thing, one time through, after a bunch of PT stuff:
bounding
mountain climbers
hooks, 1 minute each side
grande plie side bends
hooks, alternating
karaoke
knee to elbow, one minute each side
lunge walk with oblique twist
alternating jabs
inner thigh (left), outer thigh (right)
high knees/butt kicks
spider jumps
alternating crosses
inner thigh (right), outer thigh (left)
jumping jacks
roundhouse kicks, alternating
(at this point I took a break and put the garbage cans on the curb)
upper cuts, alternating
that thing where you point one foot out and slap the floor, then the other side (you know)
front, side, and back kicks
calves (only for 1.5 minutes)
bounding
shoulder raises with light weights in three positions
side ab bends
plies with light weights opening and closing at midline and overhead
hip hop pushups
FAQs
At least once a day, Lynndi Lauper and Doctor nln ask each other this question. But it's really code for 'share your workout plan'. And if there is no workout plan, the convo gets even more supercharged as it turns to special topics like injuries, therapies, out of town guests, extensive travel requirements of the gig, or exhaustion. And the other most FAQ is "What are you eating for dinner?" Doctor nln and Lynndi have so much combined knowledge that blogging it was inevitable.
Witness as we beat ourselves up with hideous workout plans and then gorge on lemon heads and sugar free ice cream.
