♥ SMART Quest ♥ Thurs. May 5, 2011

Week 8, Day 4
My SMART Quest for today is: Stay on track.  I am worried I am not eating all of my meals, and not always making the best choices.  I manage to stay in a deficit, but the choices could be better.  I am glad I am still going strong with my workouts.
SLEEP:   5 1/2 hours - I went to bed  at 11:30 pm , awoke at 5:00 am
AWOKE: 5:00 am
WARM UP: 5:35 am
Push Ups x 12
Squats x 20
Spiderman Climbs x 20 total
Jumping Jacks x 30
Performed 2 rounds of this circuit
Today I am doing a series of  6 Tabata Intervals based on Scott Colby's Ageless Abs 2 Program!  I am still adding extra time to the intervals and I continue to try and do more advanced moves.    Instead of doing 20 seconds on - 10 seconds rest, I am doing 30 seconds on 10 seconds rest.


6 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. 


Side to Side Ski  Jumps - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds - 94, 96, 96, 98, 97, 97, 99, 98 reps per round.  I lost some reps here for some reason..
Squat Jacks -  30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds - 34, 34, 34, 32, 34, 34, 35, 36 reps per round!  These were killer on my quads
BOSU Squat Thrusts with Push Ups -  30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds - 6, 7, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7 reps per round! 
BOSU Side Lunge Knee Ups   -  30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds - 4 Rounds per leg - Lt. leg: 25, 24, 21, 21 reps per round, Rt leg: 25, 24, 22, 22 reps per round!   These were very difficult to do, ouch!  My shoulders, triceps & abs could really feel it.
Side Jump Kicks with Side Squats (with ankle weights)  - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds - 4 rounds per leg. Left Leg: 20, 18, 19, 18 reps per round, Right Leg: 17, 18, 17, 17 reps per round!   This is still challenging, especially with  the ankle weights.
Heismans  - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds -98, 95, 93, 93, 95, 94, 94, 97 reps per round!
