For the first time in months, I have nothing going this weekend. No races. No events. No gigs for Alan. No travel. Zero. Nada. Zilch.
Can you tell I’m excited?
Alan and I have had something going each weekend since March. We’ve been to Lake Havasu, Redlands, and San Diego for events that he announced. I’ve run races in San Diego and Lake Havasu. We put on a race in our own backyard. My house is a mess. I haven’t seen the inside of my yoga studio for two months. I’m so happy to be home I could cry with joy.
So, with two days to ourselves, what is the plan (besides a little house cleaning)? Well, running of course. I have a nine mile run on the schedule for tomorrow, followed by six on Sunday. Hopefully I’ll be able to make sure that my yoga studio is still there (though I’m afraid my credits have expired). Maybe even, for the first time in months, a movie!
I’m looking forward to a quiet, boring, stay at home weekend. I know it is Mother’s Day on Sunday, but since I’m the mother I get to choose.
Fast and Furious Workout
I am not sure what I was thinking when I created this workout. It is pretty high intensity from beginning to end, including a quarter mile run to finish off each set. It will really get your heart rate up and work your whole body in a short amount of time. Each set takes less that five minutes (plus the run), so you can complete a great workout in less than a half hour. Because it needs no equipments, you can take it outdoors (maybe to the high school track for a great place to get your running in).
I’m demonstrating the workout in the video below, but here are a few links to more detailed explanations (or videos) of each exercise.
Plank to Side Plank: Start in a plank position, either on your hands or forearms. Hips should be level or just slightly lifted. Lift one arm and turn into a side plank. Hold just a second, the put your arm down and switch to the other side.
Enjoy the workout! What are your plans for the weekend?

I’m always looking for quick workouts I can do at home or when I’m traveling and this one looks awesome! Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂
I think that is a great plan for your weekend! I was going to do your workout…but I biked today…and I’m eating peanut M&Ms now 🙂
Whenever I hear “fast & furious” I think of the gorgeous Paul Walker – lol!!
I have no weekend plan outside of dinner on a patio tomorrow with a good frind and a deep glass of red. The break continues! 🙂
I am sure I’ll workout though. I just love the gym. And burpees. Is that weird or what?
happpy mothers day to me.
thank you for this 🙂
Enjoy your weekend of doing nothing! 🙂
I’m a huge fan of no equipment needed workouts since I don’t belong to a gym right now. Pinned!
AH burpees!!!!!!!!!!
Great workout! Pinning it for this weekend 🙂
quiet, boring, stay at home weekend <— I love the weekends 🙂
This looks like an awesome workout! Going to have to bookmark! Plans for the weekend? So rest, so gardening and spending time with the pup.
Awesome workout! I love a no equipment needed workout.
Great workout! My weekend plans are to run a marathon and then relax on Mother’s Day 🙂 oh and celebrate finishing grad school 🙂
Wow! Good luck in your race! Sounds like a great weekend (especially that relax on Mother’s Day part 🙂
brutal!! this is very similar to my bootcamp workouts, only instead of counts, its for 1 minute each, with a 10 second rest. It sure isn’t easy, but it’ll get your heart rate pumping for sure!!!! you make it look so easy!
