1000 Jumping Jacks Challenge

Ok so my question here is what is consider a rep for this exercise...it sounds like "half" of a jumping jack is a rep...if that's the cause I just did 2000 reps, because I counted the "whole"jumping jack as 1 rep...which darn near killed me...17 mins it took...and just to start off the workout I did the summer abs workout again and beat my personal time with 11:41...pat on the back.  I'll be dawning on a bathing suit for the first time this year and taking the kiddies to the indoor water park...will be a blast.

yeah! Workout

Yesterday I took the day off...let the body have a little breather.  Today I did this workout which again proved to be a thinker...and a bit destructive.  I took out the karaoke machine and the plant on the piano...no major causalities :) with the monkey kicks,  finished the first part in 4:11.  The mountain climber were brutal and since I already leveled my room on the first part I didn't do the cart wheel but a low lunge side to side.  I average 23-28 mountain climbers per rep.  The 3rd part really burned, completed in 7:01.

Exercise Challenge - 60 Get up

Today was one of those busy busy days...lots of running around, but I managed to get this in.  Completed the 60 with the company of Cargo in 6:17.  Since I was sweating and still had energy to burn I decided to go for a run...which ended up in the rain, but it was refreshing...toured the blocks for 20 mins and then took the pooch out for a walk to cool down.  The first 5 minutes of a run for me are always the worse...it's like my body is protesting and then if I push and don't stop it will give up and then it's more enjoyable.  I think I'll rotate from a run to skipping when the challenges come up.

Summer Abs Workout

I seem to be making this a habit...always entering 1 day behind..I'll work on that.  At first glance all I saw for this workout was the reps and then I scrolled down and read that we had to do it 5 times.  Well....I would still be doing them if I didn't read the full directions, thank goodness.  50 reps x 5 as I originally thought would kill me I think...really.  So after reading the instructions and noting the times I got to it.  I completed this workout in 12:32.  The 4 mins of high knees and Pendulum which was tough averaged on 48/28.

Butt and Fat Loss Workout

I don't think I've done this workout before so I have no other results to compare this too.  I was able to get this done before the rain came.  It's so nice to workout in the great outdoors!!!  This workout took me 17:04...those darn one leg squats...still not all the way down, but getting closer...

Walk it out

Gardening, hunting for Easter eggs and strolling in this "finally" spring weather was my active rest day today...deep breaths and enjoying the sunshine.

Tight Cheeks Workout

This fun fun training happened on Saturday morning with the assistance of my eldest child recording my results and cheering me on.  That is the only reason there are numbers for the last exercise combo. I am feeling it in my cheeks and core today!!
Sandbag Swing: 17, 17, 17, 18, 15, 16
One leg Half Squat w/ exercise Ball with cargo :3:33
Forward/Backward Lunge with cargo: 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12
Exercise combo for butt and core : 6, 8,  5,9  6,9  5,8  6,9  5,9

Pull-up exercise Challenge

Once again I forgot to enter this in, but I did it on Friday, which is the important part.  For the pull-ups I managed 3 on my own and the rest I did assisted on the way up and unassisted on the way down, which explains the major sore arms shoulders and back.  As for the skipping I have concluded that I have a lazy right foot, which I am holding responsible the several whip marks across my A#$.

My Buns Hurt Workout

I'm going to feel this tomorrow, just in time to replace the agony from Monday's ride!  This workout was killer and had me in a puddle of sweat by the end..or maybe it was tears. I finished part 1 in 4:02, part 2 I averaged 5 sets, part 3 I complete in 3:28 with no causalities to the room's contents, and finally part 4...brutal...near the end my legs would no longer respond...I didn't count, I was concentrating on breathing and staying upright...enjoy this one.

Hot In Here Workout

Yesterday I went riding, which I am feeling. This morning I completed this workout which was fun and pretty quick.  The hardest was the pike jumps and push-ups combo.  Part 1 took me 8:18, numbers for part 2 are 4, 4, 3, 3.5, 3, 3.5, and part 3 I finished in 1:19, panting and sweating.  Have fun.

Somewhere I Belong Workout

Yesterday was a Birthday party day, so no workout.  This morning I did this workout and surprised myself by doing 6 reps of the pulls unassisted and the rest assisted on the way up no assisting on the way down (nice and slow).  About 2 hours after completing this my muscles started twitching in my back for over an hour...very annoying since it's in a hard to reach spot...I completed 17 sets in 12 mins.

Hard Bodies Getting Harder Workout

I've been really trying to get my workouts done in the morning/afternoon to see if it makes a difference with my overall "well being" plan.  It definitely requires alot more planning and discipline to schedule it in, but so far, so good.  I did complete this workout yesterday after getting the kids to school. I managed the ninja jumps without face planting, and it was a nice reward once again to see that the extra bulk in my thighs are getting put to good use :) 5 rounds took me 24:36.

If you really want more workout

I did do this yesterday but forgot to enter it.  My brain is on vacation it seems.  Once again looking at the workout was deceiving.  At glance, easy peasy, but not really. Part 1 took me 4:42, part 2 was killer by the end 8, 7, 7, 7, 8, 7, 7, 7, 7 and part 3 took 6:18...another thinker.

What's my name workout

Well the weather was so nice outside I took this workout and did it in the sun/rain depending on the rep...but at least it was warm.  The first 3 parts took me 10 minutes and then I did 20 rounds of skipping.  By the end I was tired and was whipping more than skipping. I'll have to work on that :)

Active Rest

Yesterday I went bouldering and then enjoyed a nice evening walk.  Both the kiddies were sick in the night which left me with 4 hours of broken sleep.  Today I just took it easy and enjoyed the sunshine.  Went for a nice walk to the park with the pooch and then did some yard work.  It totally smells like spring today.  Sweet, warm and fresh.

Not Afraid Workout

This workout was another "thinker".  That crab pike press required thought...but I managed after some practice.  I enjoyed the skipping and burpees outside on our upper balcony.  The birdies thought I was entertaining.  I can't wait for the weather to get a little nicer...then I'm going to move the workout outside pool side...nothing like cool refreshing water.  Here are my results:
Crab Pike Press : 26, 24
High Knees: 45,43,55   55,41,55
Burpees Knee raises :6,5,6    5,5,5
Ninja Lunges: I've found my Ninja mojo finally;;;without face planting 10, 11

Harder Than Ever Workout Beat Personal Best

Well I got my workout in this morning after dropping the kiddies off at school and it felt good. Even better was to see my improvements.  It's nice to see that all that extra bulk in my legs and shoulders is producing more strength and not just size.  Here are my numbers,
Chin-ups: old 8 new 10
prisoner jump squat: old 23 new 33
Mountain Climbers: old 90 new 100
Clapping push-ups: old 13 new 11
Jump Lunge: old 21 new 32
Bicycle: old 70 new 86
Lunge left: old 10, new 13
Lunge right:old 9, new 11
side crunch left: old 21, new 24
side crunch right:old 25, new 23
burpees; old 10 new 11

Hot Warrior Workout

I've decided or I should say my body has told me that I need to make a few changes in my lifestyle, so I'm listening and going to try and work through the fog and figure out what needs to really change.  One being that I need more sleep, so starting today I'm going to be doing my workouts in the morning or during the day, so I will be rested and ready for bed early...like 10:30!!! Yesterday  I managed 11:00.  My usual is 1:00 or so...so that's one thing, the next is to drink more during the day...so lots of decaf stuff, like teas and good old water. I'm going to start here and see how it goes...almost like bodyrock's diet challenge a step at a time.  So here are my results for this workout with a few adjustments because I didn't add the left and right to the lunges and the crabs...no wonder I had extra sets on my timer...lol oh well.
Backward/forward lunge 15, 13, 11, 11
Core Split 20, 15, 16, 15
Dynamo Push-ups 15, 12, 11, 9,5
Sleeping Crab 12, 14, 13, 13

Hot Abs Workout

This one seemed really long.  At first I had it in my head that it would be 4 rounds, but after doing the math in the fourth round I realized that there was still 2 more to go.  There was a little faltering in the numbers but I got my head back in the game.
Sumo Squats with leg lifts :17,17,15,16,17,17
Sumo Push-ups:11, 8, 8, 9, 7, 7.5
Jump Lunge: 29, 26, 24, 20, 26, 22
Reverse Push-ups:11, 10, 10, 9, 8, 10

Climbing

Saturday I did some bouldering with the ladies and went outside to enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather.  To bad it didn't last.
