12 week Home Workout Plan

Guys. Summer is coming. I'm realistic enough to know I probably won't follow this workout plan exactly, but will give it a go. 12 weeks is just about long enough before it's time to put a swimsuit on (I'm making Jaws scary movie sound track sounds right now - duunnn dunnn...duuuunnnn duun...dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunnnnnnnn dunnnnn....), I'm not wearing a suit like the one in this picture (yikes) but just the thought of my plain old one-piece is making me nervous...saw this plan online, it's a little hard to read so I'll type it out for you in case you want to join in.

Saturday and Sunday: REST! (yay)                                    


They have sprint/jogging intervals for weekly cardio listed at the bottom of this plan which I'm not going to do. I'll get my cardio by power walking, biking, and tap classes.

PS: it should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway - don't do any of these exercises if they hurt or you shouldn't be doing them for some reason! I'm just sharing what I'm hoping to do, you do what you need and are capable of - listen to your body.

Happy moment ~ thinking ahead to Saturday and Sunday rest days!
