    Good one! Keeping the sig other out of the way was a very smart Idea!!

    I know you are just starting so wanted to share a quick routine that I found effective (given to me by a trainer to ensure I changed things up a bit!)

    5 min warm up
    Hit it at med/high intensity for 5 min
    do 10 push ups
    and 10 side lunges
    repeat 3 times

    2nd set

    10 cruches
    10 leg lifts

    Love it! I recruit family to walk with me too- it seems less like exercise and it's good company!
