Vacation workouts are my favorite!  They require a little bit of creativity, a change of pace, and of course, beautiful scenery.  A few weeks ago my good friend and Momsanity Sister Jessica got away together with our families and decided to see what kind of workout we could come up with using the goodies on the fabulous porch at our mountain cabin.   Unfortunately you can’t see the two toddler boys playing in the rain in diapers in these pictures!

This workout can be done anywhere with a timer, a mat, a stair step and a place to sprint about 100 to 200 meters.  I didn’t get a picture of our “track”, but it was about 120 meters of gravel, hills and pot holes :).  Feel free to switch up the exercises with what’s available to you.  Be creative, that’s half the fun!

The tabata intervals are 20 seconds work 10 seconds rest.  Repeat for a total of 8 intervals (repeat the circuit twice).

Warm up by jogging back and forth the length of your sprint distance plus any dynamic stretches you enjoy.

1.  Sprint your “track” and then walk or slow jog back to start.

2.  Tabata Intervals with these 4 exercises (or choose your own)

Bench Jumps

2. Straddle Leg Lifts (these can be done flat on a mat)

3. Burpee with Tuck Jump at the Top (Jumping is always optional)

4. Object Over Head Presses (this is much different than a dumbbell- just pick something safe)

Repeat 3 to 5 times 

Cool Down and Stretch
