Lisa Sabin’s - Running And Being

I haven’t been getting up at the crack of dawn (4:30 am)  to train.  A lot of my clients have been out skiing or spending time with their families.  I’ve been sleeping in until around 7 am and spending time with my family too.  Murphy aka “The Murphinator” our cute little puppy,  has been sleeping later too.  :) 

I wont lie to you.  Today was tough.  I got up at 4:30 am, hit the snooze and finally got up at 5 am.  I surreptitiously showered, making minimal noise.  I didn’t want to wake Murphy until the last possible moment.  My plan worked.  When I finally approached his crate, I was greeted with a sleepy-eyed pup.  I was able to leave the house after a quick trip outside.  Unfortunately, I left Phil with a howling Murphy.  He didn’t want to go back into the crate.  There was fun to be had.  Sorry Phil!

I trained a couple of people after a Starbucks run.  Then I did a quick strength training workout between appointments.  I did a lower body strength circuit and sore core work.  Here is the workout:

 Body weight squats (10 reps)

Forward lunges w/8lbs. ((10 reps)

Step Ups with 4 Risers w/8lbs (10 reps)

Jump Squats w/8lbs (5 reps)

*Do the sequence 3 times - no rest

Core Series

Ball Crunches w/feet on the wall (15 reps)

Oblique Ball Crunches w/feet on the wall (12 reps)

Side Ball Crunches against the Wall (15 reps)

Back Extensions on the Ball Against the Wall (15 reps)

* Do circuit 3 times  no rest

It’s good to be back!  Time to hit the gym, no excuses!
