Question: What does one do when it’s so blazin’ hot outside that the idea of being anywhere but directly in front of the AC makes you a lil batty???
Humidity tastes awful!!!!!
Answer: You make a day out of fun indoorsy activities!
Activity #1: Circuit Training with a Friend
Knowing that running outside, or any other manually laborious activity would NOT be happening, I decided to switch up the ol’ workout routine, and grab a buddy: Dear Hubby.
The Plan:
Circuit A: 15 minutes – Person A runs/jogs/walks on the treadmill; Person B warmups and does the Jackie Warner Abs circuit & then switch!
Circuit B: 15 minutes – Person A runs/jogs/walks on the treadmill; Person B completes Jackie Warner Upper Body circuit – SWITCH!
Circuit C: 15 minutes – Person A runs/jobs/walks on the treadmill; Person B completes Jackie Warner Lower Body circuit – SWITCH!
WHAT A SWEAT HOG WORKOUT!!!
You can see the two peaks on the chart are from the two points in which I started back up on the treadmill. I was “Person B” and started out with the JW DVD, and I had to cut my time short on the last circuit because my legs were so exhausted! But overall I was very pleased with how effective this switch up was.
Activity #2: Bowling!
OMG I had forgotten how much I enjoy bowling, and discovered that the love affair not only is still on, but rejuvenated since Michigan has gone to a smoke-free policy for public buildings. Lungs, meet fresh air and lane wax.
Even though this was part II of our lovely indoorsy day, I brought my game face.
Ummmm, say huh?!?!?
Activity #3: Sports Cards
My parents told us about a sports card shop in the same town where the bowling alley was, and to console Dear Hubby’s bruised ego after losing to his wife at bowling, twice, we made a stop in at Extra Innings in Mason, MI.
Usually, we do our cards bidness in a store called Legends, but it’s always good to have options for when you’re in different parts of town. A very delightful and KNOWLEDGABLE man named Rick runs Extra Innings, and we stayed well over an hour just shooting the sporting news breeze with him. With a box of 2011 Panini Threads football cards in hand, we made our trip home and enjoyed the remainder of our evening like this:
Was our day of indoorsy activities successful? I’d say so!
How “cool” of you to turn a hot day into such fun! The creative mind can do wonders. Enjoyed this immensely!
Gosh I love bowling yet I am terrible at it. My Son and I bend the rules by having the bumpers come up
My husband requests that but if he won’t let me have bumpers on the golf course, he can’t have em on the lanes.
