I am feeling especially blog-dorky today. For some reason I can’t even find the editing tool that allows me to change font size. Sigh. I’d better go spend some quality time in the hammock with my daughter….Maybe we can zone out together and solve our problems in the cozy, rainbow comfort of a giant piece of hanging fabric. Sorry for my lack of words, but it’s a great workout – I do not lie. Do it once, do it twice, but don’t try it in a hammock. That’s not gonna end well.
Set1, 4 exercises, 30 sec. each, no breaks:
1. Jumping jacks
2. Russian twists
3. Push-ups
4. Sumo Squat
Core Set, do each exercise 10x:
Spider push-ups, 5 on each side. In a spider push-up bring one knee to one elbow and hold in place while completing your push-up.
Tri-cep push-up
Push-up into side plank, back down into second push-up, then into a side plank on the opposite side
Plank walk 5 steps on way, 1 push-up, plank walk 5 steps the opposite way, 1 push-up. To plank walk, get into a proper plank position and walk your hands and feet to one side, one at a time. For greater difficulty move the same hand and foot simultaneously.

This one is a great one! Good for the upper body and core. And then good for a nap too.
