Workout Wednesday: Double Duty

Since most of my energy and time are being spent on my dissertation, I’ve minimized my exercise

Sweaty Selfie: Shake Weight catches my reflection as I put in some action!

Yet I still fit it in

No need for the gym ~ I’ve got the gear that I need here, while sporting my fave teams: Dallas Mavericks * Dallas Cowboys * Texas Rangers

As I catch up on chores

As I dust my dresser that have decor, I also display jewelry and photos that I score!

Both inside the house

More ♥love♥ to bedazzle

And outdoors!

More watches to witness my fitness + parabands that my student’s son made for his how-to speech

My favorite physical activity:

Home for my chunky floral pearl statement necklace to ☼brighten☼ my vanity after ☼summer☼

Dancing!

Purrfect spot to sport my Double A-Team‘s collars complete with their St. Francis of Assisi + *Dallas Mavericks* & *San Antonio Spurs* medals (YES, speaking of bball, that is a Kobe Bryant card here)

I also ♫sing♪ to work out those vocal chords!

Wow, speaking of black & gold, my students‘ homecoming is coming up …

Therefore, both my body and soul are refreshed!

Workout Wednesday: 2014 Study Pump-Up the Jam Session

My 2014 Series will consist of 20 repetitions (x) or seconds (s) of 14 different moves! Since I’ve been devoting many hours out of everyday to my dissertation, this routine has helped ease my ergonomic tension and loosened up tight muscles from sitting at my computers. When I taught my summer speech class, my students and I took a breather through this brief routine to hype the body up from Beast Mode while warming up the brain into Scholar Mode!
