Workout With Family!

If you’ve ever hit a wall with wanting to workout, one huge change that I have made during this quarantine is working out with family.

I have always loved working out with others as it gives you accountability and a desire to do your best with everyone else.

It is fun sharing results and enjoying the camaraderie of the discussion on how your workout was with family.

Here are a few samples of the workouts we have done:

• Jump rope for 5 minutes, stay standing, moving without sitting for 2 hours a day
• Doing push-ups (a push-up challenge); that means you do one push-up the first minute, two the second minute, three the third minute, and continue that pattern as long as you can last. (MY record is 11 minutes-that’s 66 pushups!)

• Doing push-ups and squats for the month; this is a fun long-lasting set. On the first of the month you do 11 push-ups and 21 squats; you add one push-up and one squat a day until the month is over. Here is a day by day schedule:
• 1- 11 push-ups / 21 squats
• 2- 12 push-ups / 22 squats
• 3- 13 push-ups / 23 squats
• 4- 14 push-ups / 24 squats
• 5- 15 push-ups / 25 squats
• 6- 16 push-ups / 26 squats
• 7- 17 push-ups / 27 squats
• 8- 18 push-ups / 28 squats
• 9- 19 push-ups / 29 squats
• 10- 20 push-ups / 30 squats
• Just continue that pattern until the end of the month! (Be sure to start with a baseline of 10 push-ups and 20 squats. Once the month is over, just repeat!
• Shooting free throws and coming up with a workout for each shot; for example if I was shooting first I would say 10 jumping jacks, if I make the shot then the other players have to do the jumping jacks, if I miss then I have to do the jumping jacks. You can make it fun or serious, for example having someone crab walk or do a cartwheel-it’s a fun game and super simple!
