Day 149: Mixing it Up

I had all intentions of getting up early this morning and going for an early morning jog.  Notice I said intentions.  It didn’t happen.  I had one of those nights were you wake up at 3am for no reason and have a hard time getting back to sleep.  By the time I did get back to sleep the alarm went off and I hit snooze.  I admit it, I am a snoozer.  I am trying to break the habit but, is it just me, or does a bed feel better in the morning when you know you have to get up in 5 minutes.

Anyway, I didn’t get up so I didn’t jog.  I guess that because I had planned on exercising this morning I thought about what exercise I should do when I got home throughout the day.   Jogging is the old stand by and I seem to be doing it more often as of late. 

To mix it up some this is what I came up with.  I started with a 20 minute jog (still the best way to burn some calories and get the blood pumping)  Next I did several sets of full burpees.  I ended with jumping jacks, 50 of them to be exact.

I found that after a 20 minute jog the burpees were tougher than usual and I really had to push myself through the last few of them.  I did modify them by doing pushups on both the way up and the way down. 

Daily Recap:
Matt: Jog to Burpees to Jumping Jacks
Kelly: TBD
