An Extremely Brief Check-In + Give Yourself a Break!
6:52 PMHey there Fit Vegans!
Today marked the start of the last weekend of Fall semester. Say what!? I feel like it went by so quickly!
I have a history of anxiety, so when crunch-time rolls around, I make sure to dedicate some time to myself to unwind and relax a bit, which usually means working off all that pent-up anxiousness. And that's just what I did today! Actually, because I've been so busy I hadn't worked out in THREE WHOLE DAYS! Ahh, I know! So, I was way too ready to jump {literally} back into working out. Here's what I did today when I had a little window between classes and studying to get my sweat on!
Round 1: 40sec Jumping Jacks/Jump Rope/High Knees, 20sec Varying Arm Exercises:
- Push ups
- Dips
- Arm Circles Forward
- Pike Push ups
- Push ups
- Dips
- Pike Push ups
- Arm Circles Backwards
- Push ups
- Dips
- Lateral Jumps
- Pop Squats
- Right Leg Dead Lift Hops
- Left Leg Dead Lift Hops
- Squat Jumps
- Side Squat Lunge
- Right Leg Down Dog Hops
- Left Leg Down Dog Hops
- Plie Squat Jumps
- Frog Hops
I just ran through those 2 rounds once, but if I had more time I would have loved to do them twice through. They went really fast!
Alright, I'm gonna go back to studying. Blech.
First, though, a tip that I've learned through the years: Take breaks when studying. Trust me, I totally get that we just want to power through and get the studying over with, but how much of that information that you just skimmed over is gonna stick? What I have learned instead is to take my time and then every hour I take a break. I get up, grab some water, do a couple burpees and some yoga moves, check my phone {I know, so tranquil}, then get back to studying.
Or, write a blog post :-P
