♥ SMART Quest ♥ Sat. March 26, 2011

Week 2, Day 6
My SMART Quest for today is:  Try and be on track all day!  I will be faced with an eating challenge tonight when I am going to one of L.A.'s hottest Chinese restaurants for a dinner party!  I am already worrying about what I can or cannot eat!
Sleep:   8 1/2 hours - Went to bed about 11:00 pm  - woke up super late, woke up at 7:30 am. Felt really good.  I do remember having a smal anxiety attack last night, not sure why, but having more sleep made up for it.  Of course I was tying to find any excise not to work out, but I put on the workout clothes, set up my equipment and went at it!
Awoke:  7:35 am
Warm Up: 8:20 am 
8 push ups
12 squats
10 spiderman climbs
20 jumping jacks
Completed 2 rounds!

Workout:  8:25 am

Today I am doing a series of  5 Tabata Intervals based on Scott Colby's Ageless Abs 2 Program!  I am going to add extra time to the intervals like I did on Thursday and do more advanced moves.    Instead of doing 20 seconds on - 10 seconds rest, I am doing 30 seconds on 10 seconds rest.

Metabolic Ignition Phase - Weeks 1 and 2

5 Tabata Intervals
These are timed Intervals:  Set your Gymboss Timer to 2 intervals of 30 seconds & 10 seconds and 8 rounds.  Each round is 5:20 minutes/seconds. 

Jumping Jacks - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds - 39, 40, 39, 40, 40, 39, 39, 40 reps per round.  These were a great way to get warmed up and moving!
Suicide Drills - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds - 24, 23, 22, 23, 23, 22, 22, 22  reps per round! 3 steps to one side touchdown squat, 3 steps to other side , touch down squat as fast as you can!  I did less reps than last time on Tues.  I felt like I didn't have as much energy for some reason.
8 Count Body Builders - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds - 5, 5, 4, 5, 4, 4, 4, 5  reps per round!  These are a Squat Thrust with a scissor leg and then a push up then jump back up!
Side Kicks with Jump Squats - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds  - 4 rounds per leg - Rt leg - 18, 18, 17, 18 reps per round! Lt leg - 19, 18, 20, 19 reps per round! I am left handed so I was able to get more reps on my left leg.
Hi - Lo Punch Jump Squats with weighted Gloves  - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds -Alternating between rt and lt sides per round. - 18/16, 18/18, 20/17, 19/16, 19/15, 17/17, 17/17, 18. 17 reps per round!  My legs . especially my Quads were on fire.  I had a hard time doig even reps on each side because I had to stop for a few seconds here and there, OUCH!
