Holiday Workout Challenge!

I'm writing today's post from New Orleans! Ryan and I woke up bright and early to drive from Houston, and we made it to NOLA by 11am. We chatted with his parents for a bit and ate some delicious mirliton soup. Ryan's dad gave him a perfect present...



A giant tub of cookie dough! We should start taking bets on how quickly Ryan will go through it :)

WORKOUT Time!

Join me for a challenge!

Today is Christmas Eve, and I'm excited to celebrate with family tonight and tomorrow. But I also know these next couple of days will likely result in no workouts. So in order to avoid the holiday workout slump, I'm going to instate a two-day challenge!

Here's how it works:
Below is a list of exercises that must be completed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (or you could try it later next week on New Years Eve and New Years Day.) You can split everything down the middle, or you can categorize it into one cardio and one strength day, or one lower body and one upper body day, or fit in as much as you can the first day and finish up the second day...you can organize however you'd like, but you have to get it all done!

Try it with me!


Here's what I completed earlier today: 
(Click name of exercise if it's unfamiliar)
150/300 Squats
60/150 Push Ups
100/100 Tricep Dips
0/100 Leg Raises
30/50 Burpees
3.0/5.0 Miles
2:30 Minutes Plank

I completed 53% of the whole challenge :) I'll finish the rest tomorrow.

Question: What tips and tricks do you use to get in workouts on tough days? I know Ryan will probably play football with some family members, so he's good :)

Happy Holidays!
