Happy MONSTER Monday!!!! I hope everyone is staying safe and dry through Hurricane Sandy, which is tearing through the northeast! I am currently bundled up on my couch with my dog, while my awesome girlfriend makes Paleo muffins (more recipes coming soon!) and we are hunkering down for the storm. Despite the storm, the MONSTER Monday workout went on this morning; and I wanted to share the workout challenge with you all.
DO NOT fear!!!! Even if you’re stuck at home from work/school/life and can’t get to the gym or training studio, this workout will be a success! You don’t need much beside your own body weight. For the things that require weights, use dumbbells if you have them…and if you don’t, its time to get creative. Use litre bottles of water, soup cans, your piggy bank, WHATEVER! The point is to get nice and sweaty!
