Tillman Home Gym Inspiration

So part of my New Years resolutions were to take my workouts more seriously. I was working out daily, but only for about 15-20ish minutes and wasn't busting my butt and sweating like I use to...nor mentally feeling satisfied like I use to. So I basically begged Chaz for a treadmill so I could get some cardio into my daily routine. What a game changer! (**We also have a 24# rubber body bar, and dumbbells: 5#, 8#, 10# and 20#.**) Chaz also joined a crossfit gym, so has been waking up at 4:30am to make the 5am class...since I wake up when his alarm goes off, I've started lacing up my shoes around 5am too. It's amazing what getting your sweat on and having completed a workout before 6am can do for your mood for the day! Especially with young kids who make it difficult sometimes to actually have "routine" in your day...it's nice to know I'm not trying to squeeze a workout in around them. I can spend my entire day focused on them, activities, meals, house stuff, etc.

So...for some inspiration, I thought I'd share my workouts from the past week. It IS possible to workout at home, sans $100+/month gym membership and keep yourself in shape. Each workout took about 35-45 minutes and I was POURING sweat after each one. Obviously each of these could be modified to be longer or shorter as needed. If you want any home workout suggestions, message me. I love (and MISS) helping people with their fitness.

This week I've been able to workout, put dishes away, shower, hair/dressed, my daily devotion (!!) and be ready for the day before my kids wake up. Obviously the goal is to continue this routine...thinking my REST days will typically be on Saturday so I can sleep in! YAY! Here's to my new routine.
