♥ SMART Quest ♥ Sat. May 21, 2011

Week 10, Day 6
My SMART Quest for today is:  I am going to continue to try and stay positive.   I know that on Monday I will give myself completely to this program and give my all both to my eating as well as my workouts!  I know I can do it!
SLEEP: 7 1/2 hours - I went to bed at 12:30 am , awoke at 8:00 am
AWOKE: 8:00 am
WARM UP: 8:35 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.

I am still really trying to do some different moves to change things up!

Jumping Jacks - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds -  37, 38, 37, 38, 38, 38, 39, 39 reps per round!

Side Jump Kicks with Side Squats (with ankle weights) - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds - 4 rounds per leg. Left Leg: 21, 19, 20, 19 reps per round, Right Leg: 19, 18, 19, 19 reps per round!
