Week 2, Day 4 - Feeling Confidant

SMART Quest for today: Try making some to do lists.  I have found that actually writing things down helps to keep me focused and get things done.

    I went to bed at about 10:45 pm.  I just cant seem to get to bed any earlier.  My sleep was restless, I thin the novel I am reading was abit disturbing and was weiging on my mind, oh well!

Sleep: Just over 6 hours of sleep.

Awoke: 5:00 am

Warm Up: 5:25 am -8 Push ups, 12 Squats, 10 Spiderman Climbs, 20 Jumping Jacks - 2 Rounds

Workout:  5:30 am - Today I decided to tackle Zuzana's Bodyrock.tv  Workout Mash Up! Grand Theft Booty + Counter Strike Workouts.

This is the second time I have done this workout.  I really like it, I am still amazed at  Zuzana , she is a powerhouse.  I still had to do some of the moves on a beginner level.

Part 1 – Interval Training 6 minutes

• Snowboarder  -  30 seconds on 10 seconds rest x 3 rounds - (18 reps)
• One Leg Squat and Side Kick  Left Leg-  30 seconds on 10 seconds rest x 3 rounds - (5 reps)
• One Leg Squat and Side Kick  Right Leg-  30 seconds on 10 seconds rest x 3 rounds - (5 reps)

I don't know if I will ever be able to do this! Those one legged squats are killer.

Part 2 – Time Challenge 8 minute count down

• Do maximum sets of Push Up Lunge Combo Exercise - 8 full minutes non-stop - (20 reps) ,  I was able to add 2 more reps this time ☺

This invloves 3 travelling push ups and 2 jump lunges to the side per rep for 8 minutes with 60 push ups!

Part 3 – Interval Training 6 minutes

• Shelf Butt Exercise - 30 seconds on 10 seconds rest x 3 rounds - (18 reps)
• Half Pistol & One Leg Pike Press - 30 seconds on 10 seconds rest x 3 rounds - (3 reps)

Love those shelf butt exercises.

With the Half Pistol exercise I could only do 3 reps per 30 seconds and then you continue with the One Leg Pike Press which is a push up in sort of a 1 leg downward dog position.

Finish – 20 minutes of Jump Roping

I did the full 20 minutes of jumping rope this time.  I kept trying to change the footwork.  I could really feel this in my caalves again, but after the first 6 minutes, everything sort of loosened up and felt better.
