workout of the week

Tuck Jump | Squat Hold + Bicep Curl | Modified Tricep Push-up | Burpee | Lateral Lunge

I’m not sure what I love more about traveling, the excitement and adventure of it, or coming back home with a renewed appreciation for my normal routine.

Over the past ten days I flew nearly 8,000 miles, traveled to four different cities & towns, visited eighteen of my closest friends & family, celebrated two birthdays and one wedding and put in a 40 hour workweek.

Needless to say, I’m hitting the coffee pot hard this morning after 8 hours of travel and a 3 hour time change already today.

My plan of attack for making it through today:

• Stay awake for all of my meetings and put a serious dent in my to-do list at work
• Bust out this 20 minute workout as soon as I get home
• Take a hot shower & put on my PJs
• Defrost some veggie quinoa chocolate chili for dinner
• Unpack
• Start a load of laundry
• Fall into bed

The weather in Boston was pretty heinous early last week so I dug up some dumbbells in my brother’s basement and came up with this quickie workout while I was there. It’s pretty straightforward but gets the job done–which is actually perfect for a busy Monday! I hope you enjoy it.

Have a busy weekend too? What’s your game plan for making it through the day?

Have a great and sweaty start to your week, friends!
