Fat Loss Quickie Home Office Workout – Day 2

Well, Day 2 (Sunday) of the Fat Loss Quickie Home Office Workout program.  I got up late again this morning, after a very late night before, and I really didn’t feel like doing anything, but I did – and only because I said I would here. So thank you for keeping me accountable! 

Today’s Fat Loss Quickie workout included:

  • A reminder to check out the 30 Day Meal plan that is a bonus with the program.
  • A link to a page of alternate exercises if any prove to be too difficult
  • A 16 minute strenth workout that focuses on the back and abs
  • A cardio workout
  • A nutrition video where Scott emphasizes that the program is not about perfection, but encourages us to eat more whole, natural foods, and
  • a 4 minute motivational mp3 from Scott

So, let’s see what I did. I did not look at the meal plan today. I did look at it a few days ago, and made a mental note to come back to it. So that’s still something I need to look at.

I did check out the alternate exercises page, but today I didn’t need any, but I was glad to see that they were there.

I did do the 16 minute strength workout, and was actually really happy that it was focused on the back, as yesterday I noticed that my upper back was not as strong as my lower back and legs. I haven’t been balancing out my workouts, so it was good to get that in today.

I did not have to modify anything in the strength workout, though I did have to figure out how to stabilize myself on the exercise ball for the side crunches. My 12 yo daughter thought it was hilarious (!) watching me try to figure out that one. (I kept rolling off the ball in the beginning). But I got it and then she left the room as the “show” was over. :)

Scott shoots his video in his home office, and his young daughter came in and joined him in this video. It was very candid and she was had a few things to say, which I give credit to Scott for keeping it authentic and not editing it  or reshooting it. 

One of the things that I thought was interesting is that Scott has a smaller exercise ball in his office that his daughter decided to use to do a few of the exercises with her daddy. What a great example of how we are role models for our kids.

Ironically, my 6 yo daughter came in and out the entire time I was doing this and so it made it all very real. These work outs are short enough and safe enough to do with children underfoot. A good thing.

So I got my strength workout in. But I didn’t get to the cardio workout. I meant to do it later in the day, but it didn’t happen. I did get some short walking done just out shopping and running errands, but not anything focused.

And I did watch the nutrition tip video and listen to the motivational audio for the day.

So, Day 2 of the Fat Loss Quickie program down, 28 more to go. Thanks for holding me accountable!

P.S. Scott shared this video in Day 2 with a healthy recipe for Stuffed Peppers done in the crock pot. Enjoy!
