Work it Out...or Off!

After last weeks treat-fest, I thought I should share my park workout with you all. Kinda balance the yummy with the workout! I take the kiddos to a little fenced in park by our aptartment. They play while Mommy works out. The nannies usually look at me like I am nuts. So what, it keeps me in my jeans, and you know how I loves me jeans!
1) squats- 3 sets of 20
2) walking lunges-3 sets of 20
3) step ups-3 sets of ten on each leg
4) calf lifts-3 sets of 15
5) pull ups-I can do four, I'm working on getting that number up.
6) push ups-3 sets of 10
7) park bench dips-3 sets of 10
8) v-sit abs-3 sets of 20
9) plie squats-3 sets of 20
10) one leg dead lift-3 sets of 10
11) single leg squats-3 sets of 10 on each leg
12) power walk-30-60 min.
13) stretch-hold for 30 seconds

I need to start a regular routine. For the most part, I just take walks each evening to get my exercise.

SusieJ said...

This is inspiring. I'm off for a run!!

Great idea to work out while your children play. I just sit on my butt and watch. It is probably why I look like Mrs. Potato Head and you look great! :)

Tink said...

Pfew, I'm getting tired just reading this list! ;-) Good for you though!
My TT lists 13 facts about the black panther.

Sandee (Comedy +) said...

They're just jealous. You do whatever you have to do to stay in those jeans. Have a great TT. :)

regina said...

And here I am talking about cupcakes in my post today...

Darn you for setting a good example! Sheesh. :)

Sandy Carlson said...

A plie squat would do me in. Hats off to you and your fitness regime!

WorksForMom said...

you. go. girl. Are you a size 0 or a size 2 with all that working out? :)

Crimson Wife said...

I've done similar park workouts when I don't have a toddler to worry about. Happy TT!

Nicholas said...

Reading that, all of a sudden I feel very old!

Janet said...

you're my idol! I JUST talked about exercising in my post before the T13 and how I was embarrassed. Man I wish I had your attitude!!!

Malcolm: said...

Nice counterbalance to last week's TT. Those nannies are probably just haters... you are right to ignore them.

AnGlOpHiLe FoOtBaLl FaNaTiC said...

I'm truly impressed with your dedication.

Susan Helene Gottfried said...

You go, girl!!! Wow, that's a great workout you're doing! Don't forget to vary it to avoid muscle memory and all that...

Happy TT!

Marsha said...

I used to do workouts at the playground when my oldest daughter was little. Now she is 16, and the little one is 4, I lost of bit of my determination - but you are such an inspiration.

Head Gaggler said...

Wow, how do you find the time. Good for you!

No Nonsense Girl said...

Lori said...

Good for you....I usually work out a little extra at the gym or walk 2 miles instead of one:) Happy TT.

Bren said...

Wow! I should follow your example. Or at least take the clothes off my treadmill and hop on for a while.

Pamela said...

Yep - sounds just like my boot camp that I go to. You rock!

Open Grove Claudia said...

Great post! Good for you for making the effort! I LOVE the gym so I know it's hard to stay motivated when you are on your own. YEA!!

GHD said...

Oh man, that rocks! Good for you :-)

Fresh Girl said...

Great workout! Most of mine is upper body stuff done with weights. I may try to add in a few of yours though.

Happy TT!

Matchbox Mom said...

You are truly amazing! Love it!
I wish I had that much ambition...i'm so tired all the time.
I put your award up on my blog the other day...thanks so much. Love the design! Love the wording...sooo cute!

Crazy Working Mom said...

Okay, do two rounds this week...one for you and one for me!

What???? It won't do me any good?! Drat! I gotta get back to the gym. My jeans keep shrinking in the wash, darn it!

Serina Hope said...

You go girl. That is impressive. You have earned the right to look good in your jeans.

*Rae* said...

VDog said...

You go, girl! I used to be able to do all of this! Well, most of it, anyway!

WTG!

bermudabluez said...

Good for you! I just started at Curves so it is quite a challenge for me starting from scratch. But, I must stay positive and remember that at least I am doing SOMETHING!

Raggedy said...

ermmm, ummm,,, I am not even sure what half of those are....
I am out of the loop....
squat...something I do on the toilet. no where near that often!
walking lunges...ermm. clueless.
step ups on one leg? How can you step up on a leg?
I couldn't pick up a calf! I would have to find a farmer and mother cow that would allow such a thing. Pick her up 15 times! She would bleet her arse off!!! probably kick me too!
Oh never mind...tee hee....
Terrific Thursday Thirteen!
My TT is posted.
Have a wonderful day!
Happy TT'ing!

Natalie said...

Can you send some of that determination and motivation over this way?

Secret Agent Mama said...

I wish we could go to the park together; you'd soooo motivate me!!

Zenmomma said...

Good for you! :o)

DrillerAA said...

My knees won't handle the squats anymore. If I get down it will take paramedics to assit me getting back up.

Toni said...

Great list!

Emmyrose said...

good for you, keep it up!

Dana said...

hey girl that is an awesome workout! i like to bring some resistance bands with me and do some upper body work too! its fun for you and the kids!

Amanda said...

I go to the gym on alternate days but I think I need a list like yours. FIRST, I'll have to find out what some of them are. Thanks for this.

Cheeky said...

OK so does lifting coffee in the morning count as exercise? It is the extra large mug....

Ann Aguirre said...

Great use of time, for sure.

Darla said...

Great idea!

I'm going to have to skip my workout today because of a family commitment, and now I feel even worse about it. *sigh*

Deb - Mom of 3 Girls said...

That's a great idea and a wonderful way to make use of your time at the park! I so need to start exercising more...

Jessica said...

And...to think that I would like to just be able to take an evening walk!

GO YOU for being able to work out like that!

And...by the way...I just found your blog...hope that you'll visit my blog as well and say hello! =-)

Michelle Davis Petelinz said...

I'm with tink; tired just reading your post! LOL

Great TT, and Happy Thanksgiving.

Mommy off the Record said...

Wow. Just wow.

DIXIECHICK said...

It almost makes me want to work out.....almost.

Heidi Hyde said...

Whew! I worked up a sweat.

-HH

Holly said...

Hmmm, time to get back to the Y...

Who cares if the nannies stare at you - aren't they all like 17 anyway?

Smiles,

I feel so lazy after reading this! LOL! You go girl!

You lost me at squats :)

Holly said...

That's great! I like to work out during the day too (in the house) ....and Cameron looks at me like I'm nuts. I jog at night with the dog, and I just do different things during the day like free weights, The Firm video, or just pushups and crunches. If anything, it at least makes me feel energized! I doubt I could do a pullup. Four pullups is really impressive! I remember in Junior High just trying to hold myself up on the bar...and shaking like a leaf.LOL

Myla said...

That is a great idea and use of your time! You go girl!

Kellan said...

What are you talkin' about ... oh, excercise - not interested! Good for you though. See ya.

Rhonda said...

Way to go mom! What a gr8 list...I just did my workout. Funny how my hormones won't allow the excess fat to come off. And I can't get into my jeans. Oh well.

david mcmahon said...

There - you've shamed us all! You're all ready for ski season now - and you'll be so fit you'll be power-skiing uphill!!!

ellen b. said...

I feel like I'm watching how never to have to be on Biggest Loser. Way to go with staying in your jeans!!

Good for you---way to get two tasks done for the price of one.

I LOVE your photoshop pen drawing. What's wrong with it??? It's adorable.

Damn woman! You rock.

Anonymous said...

When might you do a TT on best South Park episodes

Nap Warden said...

Wow, that would be good, but hard to do...I haven't been watching the recent ones...Suggestions?

CindyPTN said...

This is a great list. What's even better is that all of the exercises can be done in the comfort of your own home. Even the power walk can be done in place with a bit of extra arm pumping. This would be perfect while watching your evening show or watching the kiddos in the play room. We're getting ready for a trip to my parent's home. 16 hours in the car! This is great for breaks while the kids play. Great Job.
