The Loser Moms are back from the Blogher Conference in California and are ready to get back to their fitness routine.
Since it is a relatively nice day for August in DC, we worked out on the deck at City Fitness. The workout conisisted of a circuit of the following exercises:
-Wall Ball using a 6 pound ball (This was Sarah's first time doing wall ball)
-Rows using the TRX
-Hyperextensions on the ball
-Shuttle Run
-Crunches with the ab mat
-Pushups
Each exercise was done for one minute per round for three rounds with a one minute break between rounds.
They warmed up on the treadmill then did two sets up plank (Sarah did her first full minute of plank today! Yea!) and bridge. They cooled down with obliques and stretching.
Now it is time to set new fitness goals!

Loser Mom's Workout
Sarah is getting very strong! On Tuesday, she learned how to do hyperextensions which are great for strengthening the lower back. When most people think of the core, they think of the abdominal muscles only. But the muscles of the lower back help to comprise the core as well, and it is very important to make sure that these muscles are strong.
She is doing kettlebell squats instead of squats using the ball. That shows how strong she is getting!
Sarah also learned how to do dips on Tuesday, which strengthen the triceps. It is a great body-weight exercise.
I am looking forward to our workout today!
