Happy Friday. It is a happy day in the Buschel house because it is grocery shopping day. We have been trying to stretch out how often we go to the store and we made it 10 days. I think that might be a record in our house. Poor Josh, he is the one shopping today and my list is so long. We are also picking things up for family members so that adds to the list but honestly most of the items he is buying are for us. Our kids are so excited for more apples and oranges. It seriously the simple things in life right now like fresh produce that are bringing smiles to our faces. Cardio/Strength Interval Workout This cardio/strength interval circuit workout uses a structure of 50 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest. There are five exercises in the circuit.

Arms, Back, & Abs Workout
Here is the upper body workout I did this morning... I repeated this 2 times. It is an effective but short workout that packs a punch. The pike pushups get me every time. After I finished I walked a 1/2 mile around my backyard before the kids woke up. I am trying to move as much as possible during the day. I have worn a path in our grass from all the walking. When I was walking I listened to my bible readings for the day. I am currently using The Gospel Coalitions Read The Bible in a year plan. The sun was starting to get higher in the sky as Psalm 24 was being read. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein,for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place?He who has clean hands and a pure … [Read more...]
Dirty Dozen Workout & Easter Weekend Recap
I hope you had a nice Easter weekend. Our family of six spent yesterday watching church service online, spending time in our backyard, and we rented Trolls 2. Easter Weekend 2020 Earlier in the week we got out our Resurrection Egg set. These had been gifted to us by an older couple at our church years ago. I didn't realize how much I treasured them until I pulled them out of storage from the garage this year. I got a little teary eyed as I brought them into the house. I knew Easter wasn't going to be the same this year. No dinner with my parents, grandparents, brother and sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and cousins. Church would be online. So much is different from this time last year. So much is different from just a month ago. In a weird way these eggs helped me to remember that even in all the crazy of the world God is still in charge and he is still the same. I needed that reminder. Lately I have been baking up a storm and this weekend was no … [Read more...]

Plyometrics is a type of exercise that rapidly and repeatedly stretches and contracts the muscle. You will repeat this entire workout twice. Here is the workout... Workout Modifications To modify you have the option to be done after the first round.

Just Go Workout
Welcome to Day 1 of the FREE Workout Plan! Today's cardio workout requires that you set a stopwatch and time yourself. You will be repeating this workout in the third week of the plan. Make sure you write your time down to refer back to later and see how you have improved. Here is the workout... Workout Modifications If you are a beginner and just getting started don't let this workout scare you. The reps can be adjusted to work for you. I suggest halving everything if you haven't exercised in awhile. So your workout would look like this... 250 Jumping Jacks200 Squats150 Situps or Bird Dog100 Pushups or Wall Presses50 Burpees Jumping Jacks can be modified as step outs. Just minus the jump and you alternate stepping out with each foot as your arms go over your head. Squats can be done by getting up and down out of a hardback chair. Try not to use your arms and engage your abdominal muscles. If situps hurt your back or neck you can sub this exercise for Bird … [Read more...]
