I love my kids...

...but tonight I wanted to get a conditioning workout in (every other day), we have just got them both to bed and, to cut it short, I was up and down the stairs putting our 3 year old back to bed and helping her understand that she needs to sleep.

So, my workout time was severely hampered which meant I only had time for:

1) 10 x Horizontal Pull Ups, then 20 elevated press ups: 3 times round
2) 10 x single leg deadlift each leg, then 10 half bridges with single leg, both legs: 3 times round.

The single leg deadlifts are the ones with a bent leg, so basically you are squatting on one leg but not as deep as a pistol squat and your hanging leg is behind you like Paul Zaichik demonstrates here in his Warrior 3 and Dead lift exercise.

These single leg exercises are great, my muscles were working hard when doing these. I 'll deffo be including these more often.

Of to bed now and I didn't eat any cake tonight or drink any wine at all. :o)
