Exercising in the Snow!

Who says you cant exercise when there is snow on the ground?  I’m actually not talking about “being” in the snow.  Last night with 4 plus inches of snow on the ground and no end to the white stuff in sight, I decided to do a quick circuit in the comforts of my living room.  Yes, the National championship game was on tv, and a comfortable 71 degrees in the room.  Let it snow…let it snow…let it snow!

As you will see me mention often the circuit had the following characteristics:

• a squat movement-in this case lunges forward, side and rotational
• a push movement-pushup rotation exercise
• a pull movement-one arm rows
• a rotation movement-med ball twists

And as a bonus measure, I did multiple plane jumping jacks at the end of each round of the circuit.

Here’s how it looked.  10 reps each of the above exercises, one after the other without rest, followed by 1 minute of a chosen jumping jack.  I then rested for 45 seconds to 1 minute and repeated 4 rounds.  Then on to 3 plane flexibility exercises and in just under 30 minutes I got in daily exercise and watched the game at the same time.

…Who said you can’t exercise in the snow?

Thanks for playing!
