Stressful Day and Workout Move

Work has been crazy lately and I think it has been exasperated being that I can’t run my usual stresses out after a hard day. Fortunately I got some mail to cheer me up:

         

From the picture this looks like a mini pamphlet with lots of information, but in reality it is basically a post card. I don’t care though. I’m framing it.

 

 

 

 

 

This happened in my classroom today:

So I needed one of these:

I swear Starbucks tastes better in the red cups. Its true.

Dan is playing soccer tonight (He’s a goalie). I went to his game last week but tonight’s game is too late for me. It is ironic because I have no problem getting up to go to a 5:30 spin class in the morning but 10:45 at night is way too late for me! I am much more of a morning person and Dan is a night owl. Opposites attract I guess. It actually works out well, especially when it comes to taking Cooper out :)

Workout Move of the Day!

The Hip Bridge
Works: Glutes and Hamstrings

 
From Health.com

Hip Bridge
For a better butt
Lie on your back with your knees bent, heels on the floor, and toes lifted and pulled up toward your shins. Raise your buttocks off the floor until your back forms a straight line from knees to shoulders, and hold for 1 second before lowering. Repeat 15 times.

Make it Harder:

1 Legged Bridge

Hip Bridge on Stability Ball (double and single leg)

I love this move, but find the 1 leg version so hard! This is a great exercise for runners, so give it a shot!
