Take a Break

It's been quite a while since I posted.  Life got busy or I forgot about this...I have no idea why I didn't post.  Whatever the reason, I took a break, but now I'm back!

Today I took a different type of break.  I took a break from grading periodically to get in a mini workout.  End of the year grading is brutal!  I'm tired, it's warm outside, summer is on the brain, and reading 100+ essays sounds miserable.  I promised myself today that I would finish grading the tests my kids took last week because they had their final essays due today.  However, after lots of grading I found myself bored out of my mind and dozing off.  Naturally, I took a break by checking Instagram.  I found a quickee workout from someone I follow.  My goal wasn't to find a workout, but that's what happened.

I decided to use the workout as a break from grading.  Everytime I found myself dozing off, I started another round.  Some of the exercises were interesting to do in a dress, but I was alone with the door closed to my classroom so no one saw my doing bicycle crunches in a dress.

Quick workout as a break from ENDLESS grading.

A mini workout was JUST what I needed to wake up and get some more energy.  I'm going to keep this one close to my desk for a between class workout or a break from grading.  My normal Instagram/Facebook/Twitter break gives my mind a rest, but it doesn't give me any boost.  This little workout was just the mind break and energizer that I needed.
