Daily Workout - When it gets Busy

It's that time of year again when things get so busy, with all the  shopping, kids events, social gatherings and who knows what else. And then there is all the food and drink and lack of exercise...

Don't get too worried about it because January 1st is almost here too so what ever bad stuff you do now you can fix then. But just remember the worse you are now the better you are going to have to be in the new year :)

I try to do what I can and remember all the hard work I have been doing all year long. But, I still like to enjoy all the fun this time of year brings, and it's hard to do if you can't eat anything or don't have time cause you're in the gym all the time.

Over the last 4 days I did manage to get into the Gym a couple of times and did some Total Gym routines covering my Cardio, Shoulders, Arms and Abs. And I may even just get another one in today?!

Daily Workout - Shoulders and Arms with Total Gym

I Skipped the Elliptical warmup today and did my Shoulders and Arms on the Total Gym, I also got some Abs in at the end. So far everything is back on track, I'm not trying to overdo it after a few weeks off form my Maui trip. There is also nothing for me to be really that motivated for as it's the dead of winter here and having a few extra pounds just keeps me warmer :)
