Sleep was decent especially since most of last week I was tossing and turning a lot. It was nice to sleep in a little too.
Awoke: 5:45 am
Warm Up: 6:15 am
8 push ups
12 squats
10 spiderman climbs
20 jumping jacks
Completed 2 rounds!
Today I will be doing 2 of Zuzana's Bodyrock.tv workouts. The first workout is 60 High Knee Get Ups, it is a time challenge of 1 exercise. The second workout is Halo of Sweat workout and is a timed interval workout of 12 minutes. I worked out for a total of 22+ minutes. It was exhausting!
Exercise Challenge – 60 High Knee Get Ups
Workout Breakdown
Time: ? min.
Workout Type: Time Challenge
Exercises: 1
Instructions:
- Set your interval timer as a stop watch and get your exercise mat ready.
- Start with 10 high knees as fast as you can.
- Drive your knees as high as possible while keeping your core tight, chest up and shoulders back and down. A very common mistake that I have seen people making is to shrug their shoulders so that they are almost touching their ears :) This throws off your form completely so please stay focused the entire time to get the most benefits from this challenge.
- As soon as you complete 10 high knees drop down onto your exercise mat so that your belly and chest touch down.
- Then power up into the standing position.
10 high knees

Complete 60 rounds as fast as you can while keeping proper form.
Zuzana’s time for this challenge was 7:54 :)
MY SCORE: 10:37 and I think I actually over 70 reps because I kept losing count. This was very challenging. I took a short rest and then on to the next workout!

Lost of commitment is what usually happens to people who doesn't continue with their exercise regime or their daily visits to the gym. Unfortunately I am one of them. So .. just go ahead and do it. I think you already have a nice body. Me? I'm all bulges.
