So write down as many as you can think of, and then pick out 5 and 5.  Once you've decided on your 5 and 5 pair them together and do one exercise you "love" followed by one exercise you "hate".  Focus on improving upon the one you "hate".  Create a mental challenge and push through something that may be physically and mentally difficult.

Today, begin with joint mobility and dynamic movement.  I am mixing it up today, and am heading to the dungeon for a heavy bag workout.  I am by no means a good boxer, but I love punching the heavy bag.  It is a great alternative workout forcing you to utilize different muscle groups as well.

1 minute round of punching/kicking/kneeing/elbowing the heavy bag. If you don't have a heavy bag, you can shadow box, or use resistance bands and punch for 1 minute.

No rest.
