“New Mexico” Workout

It hard to put into words how much fun we’ve been having on the road. That’s not to say it’s not without its hard days. I’ve found myself, once or twice, curled up on Brent’s lap crying my eyes wondering what the heck are we doing. The day we visited Carlsbad Caverns National Park was not one of those days. The caverns were, for lack of a better word, simply magical like another world.

It also happens that there was a perfect spot for a quick workout in the park. (I keep a set of kettlebells in the truck just in case. Doesn’t everyone?) The sun was setting and the colors were breathtaking. About halfway through the workout, I saw what I thought was “a piece of trash” blow by only to realize it was actually a skunk! (I’m easily entertained as you will see.) Here’s a secret. Even though I call him “stinky” in the video, I actually like the smell of skunks. Weirdo.

New Mexico

This is a quick but challenging two part full body workout that can be done “for time”.

Part One

1. Presses – 5
2. Squats – 5
3. Renegade (or regular) Rows – 5 (each side)

Repeat 3x total

Part Two

1. Swings – 5
2. Burpees (no pushup) – 5
3. Cleans – 5
4. Jump Squats – 5
5. Swings – 5

Repeat 5x total

LOVED this workout and I’m definitely going to come back to it later. Next up is Texas, where I picked an “unusual” spot for a workout. 😉

Hugs and High Fives,
Jenn

You are ADORABLE. I love the video!! And the workout. Although, dang girl. I can maybe think about doing it with a single bell. Maybe.

OK that’s cool- you like the way skunks smell and I like the smell of horse poop. I knew our friendship was based on something meaningful 😉

More gorgeous scenery. I can’t even imagine the adventure you’re having. And is it really already two months?!?!?!?!?
