I am sad to say that cabin season is over for us. Our last weekend up there consisted of family time, pulling in the dock, raking leaves, packing up stuff, etc. Oh ya, and us girls found time for shopping in St. Cloud and stopping at the pumpkin patch!
One of my biggest contributions to the weekend (minus being a great auntie!) was making pumpkin banana bread. I don't want to make treats like that at home because then there are only two of us to eat it all. So, it was a perfect fall treat to share with others at the cabin!
After eating some junk food and having a couple cocktails over the weekend, I had a desire to exercise this morning. It was only 50 degrees outside, which just isn't enjoyable for me, so I had to find something to do inside. I turned on my playlist that I use while teaching some of my classes and did a workout by myself in the living room! Yes, my mom peaked in once in a while, but I mostly had my privacy because the boys were outside.
If you are looking for some easy things to do inside, here is what I did to get my heart rate up and challenge my muscles.
- jumping jacks
- lunges (front, side and/or back)
- squats
- push-ups
- tricep dips
- single leg bridges (for hamstrings)
- side leg lifts
- front and side planks
- obligue crunches
- bicycles
- mule kicks (for glutes)
So, the moral of the story is...no one ever really has an excuse to not exercise because you can do it anywhere! Bye bye cabin, we will miss you. See you in April!
