Wacky'n Wing'n It Workout

Hey everyone,

So I will admit I had a hard time focusing today.  I tried to write down some exercises to do for today's workout but I couldn't sit still!  Not only that, but I was definitely NOT motivated to move today.  So I decided to do something fun to spice things up.  I set my interval timer for 20 rounds of 10/20 intervals (that's only 10 minutes, folks!) and decided to make up my workout as I went along.  So I would rest for 10 seconds, hurry up and think up an exercise and then do that exercise for 20 seconds.  Then rest for 10 seconds, work for 20 seconds...you get the idea.  It was actually pretty funny because I was having a hard time coming up with another exercise right on the spot towards the end there! 

Well, here is what the workout turned into.  It was pretty fun and perked me up, so I hope you enjoy it too!

Oh, and I also did the Bodyrock.tv challenge today which was to do a handstand.  That was the first handstand I have ever done in my life!  I'm so proud! :)

Hope you enjoy the workout!

Hold yourself up on the dip bar.  If you are a beginner, you may leave both toes lightly touching the floor.  If you are intermediate, leave one foot on the floor and raise one leg.  If you are advanced bring both feet up off the floor.  Keeping your elbows close to your body, lower your body towards the floor.  Push back up and repeat.
