Workout Wednesday

Wednesday, February 25 - Twin 1 did JM Video 6

Thursday, February 26 -Twin 2 did 30 min on bike,  Twin 1 took the dogs to Ashburn for an hour and a half and saved her video for rest day tomorrow so her rest day was today.

Friday, February 27 - Twin 1 did not do her makeup video from Thursday but did an hour walk at Ashburn with the doggies.

Saturday, February 28 - Twin 2 got her arm workout in by spending 45 minutes clearing the driveway of ice ... well, enough to get up and down it easily.  Twin 1 did an hour walk at Point Pleasant with the doggies. 

Sunday, March 1 - Sunday morning started off with a 5k OUTSIDE run at 8:00 a.m. for both twins.  Such a beautiful morning.  The roads are clear and dry by Twin 2's house so we ran around her new neighbourhood.  We're hoping we can get outside more this month.  We did 5k in 41 min which was great (we thought) as we haven't ran in forever.  Twin 1 also walked the dogs for an hour at Ashburn and did JM video 5 & 6 from Sat and today.

Monday, March 2 - Twin 1 did JM Cardio 2 video, Twin 2 did 40 min on the bike while doing arm weights.

Tuesday, March 3 - Twin 1 got up early AM and got JM video 5 done.  It is just a distant memory now at 8:30 a.m.  Not even sure how she made it through as while the video was getting set she was putting on her workout clothes and was ready to go but something felt different....oh yeah! my pants!  That's what getting dressed when your still asleep does...but she put her pants on and got the video done.  It seems the only time the heat is on in the house is when she is cooped up in the room working out. 

Twin 1 & 2 went for another 5k run outside on Tuesday evening.  The snow on Monday made the roads a mess again and Twin 2's road was 95% clear and it was 0.5 k from her driveway to the end of the street so we ran that 10 times.  It wasn't as boring as we thought and we did it in just over 41 min.  By the end of it our legs were so cold and stiff that our legs matched the red wall in Twin 2's bathroom. 

 Now maybe once we started running again we'll have more random blog posts for you all :)

Tip Tuesday

Image result for crosstraining


Cross-training prevents injury by correcting muscular imbalances.  And the variety prevents boredom and burnout.  Combine cross-training with running to maximize running fitness with lower actual mileage.  You can substitute 25 to 30 percent of your weekly 'mileage' with cross-training.
