Today's Workout - No Excuse!

It is a snowy day here in Edmonton! Something that we have not had a lot of this year. It is the type of day that if you can, stay inside. Enjoy the warmth and comfort of your home. Although you might be staying at home, that does not mean your workout should be postponed. Today, I revisited our Snow Day workout - from Edmonton's first snowfall this year! ** If you do not have a BOSU at home,  stand on one leg for the first set and the  other leg for the other set - to challenge  your balance and core.  If you do not have dumbbells at home,  find heavy cans of soup, beans, etc,  paint cans, or any other  object that is easy to grip and adds resistance to  the exercises. ** Snow Day Workout 50 seconds work/10 seconds rest x 6 exercises x 2 sets 1) Weighted Squats       - holding dumbbells or barbell keep core engaged to bend knees and hips into a squat. Assure to keep knees over the ankles. Lower to 90 degree bend at knees, then return to standing. Repeat. 2) Arnie Press on BOSU
