posted by Robin on Daily Workouts - 10-15 minutes

This week, starting tomorrow I am doing a burpee challenge, just a little burpee challenge of 50 burpees every day for the next week starting Monday. I’d love you to join me!! I am going to post some of my workouts too of course! Burpees are tough, but they are one of the quickest ways I have seen to get your body lean, tight, toned and yes, even build muscle. Burpees are about as miraculous as raw food and subliminals! 

Personal stuff

I need my butt kicked. Yes, it’s true. I have been slacking off and need to get into my daily hardcore burpee ways! It’s easy to slack off sometimes in life. I took the summer off primarily to spend time with my niece. What I didn’t realize is that maybe I was feeling a bit burnt out and needed some down time. Life at different stages can be tough. To be honest, as much as I love my mom (immensely) care giving can be tough. I feel like I have lived life fully and I’ve gone through lots of tough phases. I’ve raised 3 kids close in age, gone through babies and teenage years, I’ve separated from an almost 20 year marriage and I was with my sister in law as she passed away from cancer. Lost quite a few family members from cancer actually. Life can be tough, and sometimes workouts are going to wane some due to life. That’s life.

But the truth is, that if you get up the incentive and energy to do the workout, you are going to feel a whole lot better after and life is going to be a lot easier to deal with. You will feel more energized, clear, focused and optimistic!  I know this and am ready to jump up and get back in the ring and I’m hoping you are going to jump in with me!!

 

The Burpee Challenge

This week, Monday to Saturday, for the next 6 days do 50 burpees every day.

That’s it. Piece of cake! If you can do 100, Awesome! Go for it. Or if you want to make it less, Great. You set what amount works for you. Choose how many a day that will push you, yet be attainable to do. Make the challenge work for you!

 

New Workout Format

Why? I’m changing my workout format for a number of reasons. Basically it is to make life easier on myself. I love creating and sharing workouts, so I am going to continue to do that. I miss working out on my own, without a camera and with music. I think and hope that I can describe the exercise moves in words and pictures. Also, I feel like I have filmed enough exercise videos to help describe them as well.

I hope these can inspire as well! I’m looking forward to expressing myself in a new creative way.

Here is the new workout, with 10 intense minutes of dynamic action!
