After trolling the internet for various workouts that I can do indoors (i.e. anything other than jogging in the heat. Where's my cold front TX?), I stumbled on Hindu squats.
Click here to see the video on the prisoner squats- a good pre-req to Hindu squats.
If I'm having a lazy housewife day like today, my workouts are usually 100 russian twists minus the dumbell coz I don't have any:
Hanging leg raises (until I think I'm going to puke):
And tricep dips. I can only do like, 2 sets of 10 before I die. But at least it's something!:
So, that's what I do in between vacuuming, dishes, scrubbing the tub, and whatever else I can think of. It's easy to recover for a few hours, and do the whole thing over again. I'm so excited to have found Hindu squats because they DO NOT HURT YOUR KNEES!!! I have a bad right knee, and a bad right ankle, so jogging too much, or jump roping too often really puts a strain on my ligaments. But the Hindu squat motion is so fluid, there's really not enough time for anything to get pulled all funny. Yay!
And with that, I'm off to practice what I preach. What are some of your "lazy day" workouts?
