Daily Practice for 27 Aug 18

Meditation:  Walking meditation for 5:00 at some point today.  If you are new to this practice, keep it simple.  Ideally, perform this outdoors.  Barefoot in the grass is also preferred.  The idea is to simply walk with mindfulness; attention is placed on each footstep as well as being mindful of the breath.

Strength and Conditioning:

3 rounds of:

  • 1 Arm Overhead Squat X 10 each side.  Can be done with a dumbbell, kettlebell, or even an exercise band.
  • Strict Pull Up X as many as possible with good form.  If doing a Lat Pulldown, perform 10 heavy reps.
  •  Kettlebell (or Dumbbell) Swing X 15.  If you don’t have a kettlebell or dumbbell, do Air Squats X 20 instead.
  • Forearm Plank X 1:00
  • Rest as needed.

Rest for 5:00, then…

3 rounds with minimal rest of:

  • Burpee X 10
  • Sit up X 20

Yoga:  Join me at My House Fitness in Avon for my 6:00pm class, or spend at least 10:00 stretching, mobilizing, foam rolling, or a combination of each.
