Yesterday it snowed and I ran a little late to work, so I was only able to do about 30 reps of arm workouts (did 5 bars on the arm machines, which I believe is just 12 lbs?). Today's workout was a quick approximate 35 minutes of my morning: 50 crunches  25 side-to-side crunches  10 sit ups 50 donkey kicks, fire hydrants, rainbows with ankle weights  25 lying leg lifts with ankle weights  25 side lunge with lift ankle weights  25 squats with 8lb dumbells over head lifts  10 good morning dumbell deadlifts with leg raise and dumbells  25 flies with 5 lb dumbells 25 bridges with 8lb dumbell  25 bridges per leg up with 8lb dumbells 15 downward dog push-ups  I then stretched it all out with this yoga routine, " Yoga du matin"  by Doctissimo .
