Life seems to be speeding by. Between the video circulating on Facebook this week and Mother’s Day, I find myself getting emotional. Every day I watch my baby grow a little more and wish time would slow down. Between work, cooking, cleaning, unpacking, home projects and trying to fit in a workout, I’m exhausted. I have just over three weeks of work left before summer break when I’ll be able to hold my little ones all day. Maybe then the days will feel a bit longer.
I can’t take much credit for our new garage gym — my husband and I have imagined how we’d design a home gym for years, and this is the first time we’ve created a permanent space. He put a lot of thought into the layout. It isn’t finished yet, but here’s a sneak peek.
Weekly Workout:
Complete each exercise for 1 minute, aiming for maximum repetitions or duration where indicated. Rest briefly between rounds if needed.
- 1 minute — Max repetitions of push-ups
- 1 minute — Max repetitions of hand-release push-ups
- 1 minute — Max hollow hold (time)
- 1 minute — Max repetitions of single-leg V-ups
Equipment Needed:
A simple timer or watch is all you need to keep track of the 1-minute intervals. We often use the MYWOD app for timing workouts and following exercise demonstrations.
Modifications:
If standard push-ups are too challenging, perform them with your hands elevated on a sturdy box or bench to reduce the load. For guidance on form, see the post about improving push-ups on the original site.
