Total Body Tabata Workout: Body Weight Exercises, No Equipment: 20-Minute Exercise Routine

Please follow and like us:

Hi Everyone!

Before we get to our workout (which is a good one, by the way), let’s chat. The year 2020 hit me like the old Chumbawumba Song, Tubthumping (minus all of the alcohol consumption). If you’re too young to get the lyrical reference, I’ve added a GIF below to give you an idea.

Yes, the song is stuck in my head now too. Whoops. Anyway, I was all over the place in 2020 and that included blogging and my workouts. Being healthcare providers, having a new baby, social distancing…it was a lot. It drained me physically and mentally. By the time Thanksgiving came around I felt like a shadow of my normal self, and was completely exhausted. What energy I had I needed to invest in my family and feeling better.

So here I am, entering 2021 and feeling an aversion to the idea of setting resolutions. I am not adverse, however, to having goals. So my goal is to share three new workouts per week. My tentative posting schedule will be Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday for releasing new workouts.

I took a good long look at all of the barriers that have been holding me back, and identified some changes that I needed to make. I focused on exercising for my physical and mental health, and re-found the peace and joy that movement brings me.

I would love to hear about your goals, and what you are embracing or setting free as you move into a new year. Let me know in the comments.
