Five Minute Work Out

Whole 30/Paleo eating is accompanied by short physical workouts too. I haven’t mentioned a thing about those. You can learn more at Mark's Daily Apple. Our workouts haven’t been too paleo, but I am ready to start going there.

What we have been doing is pretty effective. We do a three mile run/walk interval training (with the running occurring up the hills) with our dog. This is longer than the Paleo plan, but our dog needs the mileage.

We have developed our own version of TRX Straps. My husband is a handy guy, and he used some outdoor adventure gear and pvc pipe to make them. For us the cost was under $5.

Even with the great TRX Straps, I wasn’t getting the core workout I wanted, with the only ab work being military push-ups. I fractured my back 15 years ago, and the core exercises aggravate it. The other day I was cruising Dr. Oz’s site (a little off topic for me I know), and I came across these five minute workouts. I tried the core one, and it is great! It didn’t hurt my back a bit. If you need something quick and effective, check this out:  Fit in Five Core. There are other five minute workouts too.

Why was I checking out Dr. Oz’s site? Time for a little bragging. His producers liked my blog, contacted me, and interviewed me twice to see if I was the right person for a Dr. Oz Ultra Wellness episode. It seems that I may be the right person, but they are reformulating that episode and uncertain if they are going to use a non-professional. If they don’t use me for that show, they said they would keep me in mind for other things. It would be amazing to have the experience, but just the fact that my blog is interesting enough to get their attention is awesome all on its own.

Wish me luck!
