Exercising in the Comfort of Your Own Home!

So the snow finally came and I am officially allowed me to work from home. So I guess there is a first for everything. Little did I know that I would actually do a ton of work... seriously. It was nice to be able to work in sweats and do some chores while on break but a large part of the day I spent on the computer or on a conference call. I think working from home would really help my communication skills because you have to be really clear in emails and calls. :)

I decided half way through my day I would try to do an at home workout because I was starting to feel a bit lazy. So I decided to make-up a workout that could be done in the comfort of my living room because this girl was not driving in the snowy conditions. Believe me it was safer for everyone. Here it is:

I did this cycle of exercises TWICE!

(16) Side lunges (8 in each direction)
(10) Burpee Pushups
(20) Step ups on a chair (10 each leg)
(50) crunches
(20) Jump Squats
(12) Roll out pushups on exercise ball
(20) Split leg lunges (10 each leg)
(10) Exercise ball situps
(10) Pushups

This was a great workout filled with both strength and exercises that got my heart rate up. I do recommend only doing as many reps as you can with perfect form, so you don't injure or tweak any muscles. I felt so much better after completing this workout. Now it was time to plug away at work again.
