Lift, Hoop and Bike with Kids
It was a warm, sunny day and I was trying to get my son pumped up to come play outside instead of veg in fron of a screen, so I laid down on one of the thermarests in the office, then got him to lay across my feet like I used to when he was little and gave him and my daughter “airplane rides”, basically reverse squats. Then I tried it with them trying to lay across my feet from the side, so they had to be planks. Then we tried it with them planking and me bench pressing them. Sofie weighs about 55 lb and Jake is somewhere around 70 lb, but a lot taller. The kids loved it, and I definitely was maxed out on reps (did abou t4 sets of 10 on squats, 3 x10 bench) . As I’m typing this 5 hours later, I can feel the burn in my quads and glutes. Gonna be sore tomorrow, but hopefully in a good, hard work way. Once the kiddos were amped up, we headed out to the garage and hula hooped for 15 min or so. Then we took off on our bikes for 20-30 min of riding. I started pretending to be a fighter jet and shoot at them with my pinkies and elbows, sound effects included, and that really got them going. It was fun to ride in the empty clover leaf cul-de-sac and basically play chase with them - finally got some faster riding in and I geared my hubby’s mtn bike up high so I was working a bit riding in those relatively small circles and stop-starting a lot to keep from crashing into Sof. First time I’ve seen my boy really enjoy a bike ride in years :-) Sof had me out there another 30 min shooting hoops, but she was wanting a lot of coaching today (I think she’s been playing ball on the playground at school) on how to do a “cross over” which was pretty cool. She got so she could pretty much shoot a layin, which she couldn’t do during city league bball season, and her ball handling is 10x better now too. Fun to watch her skills improve and see her really like basketball. Hoop dreams, live on

10 Minute Solution Kickboxing Bootcamp
Used 5 lb dumbells for strength portion instead of my usual 8 lbs due to some neck/shoulder tightness. I’ve given shoulder/upper back massage to my friend who’s in the hospital for at least an hour for 3 days in a row. Having to work on her in the hospital bed makes me have to use mainly my hands since I can’t reach her well enough from standing so I can use my forearms and leg strength. My hands are pretty sore today as I type this out.
The washboard ab section of the video is killer.
