I’m posting quickly this Thursday evening. Finding free time is becoming more difficult, as cross country season heats up and we close in our our “season” at work. So instead of rambling on, I created a quick but challenging Tabata workout for you to try. Though the backdrop of the infograph is a beach, sand is not required!
Here are some links to clarify some of the exercises.
A couple quick notes
This weekend we’re off to San Diego for our cross country meet. I am so excited that my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson Samuel plan to meet us at the park! You know I’ll have lots of pictures. I haven’t seen them for a few weeks and Samuel is getting closer to walking. I think I am just as thrilled about Samuel starting to walk as I was years ago when it was his daddy taking his first steps.
This week, in addition to two Pilates reformer sessions (while I interviewed trainers), I had a chance to try Fascial Stretch Therapy. Dealing with the body’s fascia is the future in fitness, physical therapy, and sports injury recovery, and I am fortunate to have two trainers who are going through this certification. I greedily generously offered myself as a practice dummy, so I had the chance to experience a FST session. More on this later as I learn more, but I do know that my hips felt more open, and I really felt a difference in my gait and my flexibility after just the one session.
What’s on your agenda for the weekend?

I know what you mean about finding time to blog on weeknights! Thanks for the workout and have fun this weekend. I can’t believe how big Samuel is now!
Debbie Woodruff
Time goes so fast, doesn’t it? I can hardly believe he’s almost 10 months old and will soon be walking!
Angela @ Happy Fit Mama
Great workout! Love Tabata’s! And when did Samuel get so big??? It just seems like yesterday you were posting newborn pics. Have fun this weekend!
Debbie Woodruff
The kid weighs a ton! Time goes so fast..pretty soon he’ll be going off to kindergarten!

Enjoy your time this weekend!
I’ll be spending 100% of my time with my family and I can’t wait ๐

That sounds like a great weekend! Enjoy!

Have a great weekend! My plan is to relax after a LONG Homecoming week, which means sleeping in on Saturday, then doing stuff around the house.
The Fascial Stretch Therapy sounds really cool!
Debbie Woodruff
Ooh, sleeping in. What a concept! During the summer here, if I want to run, I can’t even sleep in on the weekends..too hot.
Enjoy your rest! Homecoming is exhausting!

Ohhh…I’d love to have someone do that therapy on me! How cool. Enjoy your weekend–sounds like lots of fun. And thanks for the workout–I always love quick Tabata style workouts.

I think you’d love the FST. Perfect for tight runner’s hips. And hamstrings. And calves. Well, you get the idea. ๐

My weekend starts in 3 hours; kids are on a professional development day and just as soon as I’m done with training a couple of clients, I’m free!
Thanks for the Tabata workout Debbie. I teach a Tabata Bootcamp and am always looking for different combos to share with them.
Happy weekend!

I’m meeting a blogger friend for a long run tomorrow morning. We’ve run two races together and this will be our first training run together.
Samuel is so cute, and so happy! ๐
