In honor of Valentine’s Day, we need to remember to keep our hearts healthy!  My warm-up at the gym today was 10 minutes of jump roping and after my workout I got to go to my son’s school to watch him participate in Jump Rope for Heart!  Both of my sons got in on the action together.  It was awesome and it was even more awesome to see the entire schools Kindergarten classes (probably a good 200 kids) Jumping like crazy!  And man they were good.  I didn’t even realize how good my 5 year old was at jumping rope and even the 3 year old learned a few tricks.  I love to see them active and keeping their hearts healthy!
We also made our own homemade juice this afternoon.  8 whole carrots, 4 whole apples and 3 whole oranges…YUMMY!  Good to get those vitamins in.  Our juicer is awesome!
Back to my workout: Worked chest and back, no need to go into details, but I did lift pretty heavy for chest and it felt GREAT to lift heavy after having lifted light for the last few weeks.
Then got to surprise teach the TRX class and we made it FUN!  Instead of just doing the TRX moves inside, we alternated the strengthening moves with going outside and doing either a run, walking lunges or another cardio move.  It was great to get that heart rate up in between sets.  Got a good sweat on, full body workout and felt great when it was done!
AND the best part was that when we did the running in between i had NO pain in my knees!!!!  That is HUGE!  I can’t wait to get out there and really run again SOON!
Happy Heart Day all!
