The During Swim Pracice Workout.

Often times the hardest part of exercising is figuring out when to do it. Consider working WITH your schedule rather than against it. This morning I needed to take our daughter to swim practice. I used the nearby shelter house & grass area to workout including:

Set #1
-Vertical jumps onto picnic bench seats (10)
-Pull-ups on the shelter house rafters (8)
-Push-ups (20)

Rest 1 minute and repeat set.

Set #2 (after 1 min rest)
-Bulgarian Split Squats (10 reps/leg doing 1 1/2 squats per time)
-Underhand inverted rows (I stood on picnic table, grabbed rafter and then swung my feet up onto a cross-brace to be in an inverted row position) 10-15 reps


Rest 1 minute and repeat set.

Set #3
-Hip Lift ((hold for 30 seconds)
-Plank (hold for 45 seconds)
-Side Planks (hold for 30 seconds/side)

Rest momentarily and repeat set.

Set #4
-Hanging Leg Raises (8, though I should have included them in Set #3 instead. Only did them once since I didn't repeat set #4)
-Modest Hill Sprints (found small hill beside shelter house. Ran 10 15-yard Sprints up the hill, walking quickly back to the start after each sprint.

That's it. Great workout using only body-weight and the facilities at hand while our daughter was at her practice. Took her home, grabbed a quick shower and was ready for the rest of the day. I hope you're getting your workouts in WITH your schedule rather than struggling against it.
