I realize most of us are here because we follow along with Kelli and Daniel's videos. But when I started up YouTube yesterday, I saw my Watch Later list was getting pretty long. Sometimes I just make that a Weight day, but I really didn't want to just lift weights.
I don't know about you, but just winging it doesn't really work out for me. To keep moving, I either have to follow along or have something laid out neatly in front of me.
But I came up with an outline for a workout that I could improvise as I moved along:
A) Lower body weight exercise
B) Cardio exercise
C) Core exercise
Do that A,B,C -> A,B,C -> A,B,C, While I gasp for breath after that 3rd round, and my brain is starved of oxygen, come up with 3 new exercises for the next group.
Bulgarian split squats (8 each side) -> High knees (30 each leg) -> Bicycle crunches (12 each side)
Straight-leg deadlift -> Pop squats (25) -> Back bows (25)
Calf-raises -> Power Skips (12 each leg) -> Side crunches (12 L/R)
And then I laid on the floor not wanting to get up. And quite sore today, so I guess it worked.
And I knocked out 4 or 5 videos off my Watch Later list, which I would normally do lounging on the couch.
I would say this is the first time that I threw together a workout routine and thought: "Hey, this really worked and seemed like something I would do again." that wasn't just lifting weights.
And it got me thinking...any other blenders out there that kinda do their own thing every now and again?
Anybody make their own workouts?

Turned out to be a really good format.
Specifically, I did
Squat -> Mountain Climber (30 each leg) -> Jackknife Crunches (12)
Bulgarian split squats (8 each side) -> High knees (30 each leg) -> Bicycle crunches (12 each side)
Straight-leg deadlift -> Pop squats (25) -> Back bows (25)
Calf-raises -> Power Skips (12 each leg) -> Side crunches (12 L/R)
