Day 3 - Week 4. What Doesn't Kill You

I was planning on doing this Friday but it was a rather stressful day and therefore I chose to chill. In all honesty, the stress of work on Friday became, in the end, emotionally draining. I had a cry and felt like I needed a curry. Once eaten, all was right with the world.

Today's killer of a workout was awesome. Very challenging. Dragging a sandbag with 35lbs of sand inside it across a floor whilst in plank isn't an easy task. Dragging it backwards is harder. But I loved the move. I pretended I was in stealth mode, dragging supplies thru a desert to people in need of them and there was a really scary creature following me.

I completed Lisa's part 2 times thru before moving on to Sean's bit. Bill did the workout after me but I modified timer for him so that he worked for 50 sec and rested for 25 sec. For me it was the usual 50/10.

Scores

Pushup with front raise - 10,8
Sandbag Drag - 10,8
Commando Pushup and 10 Mountain Climbers - 2.5,2.5

Shoulder lift & Squat w. Knee lift - 9,10
Round the world w. Squat - 9,9
Squat & Press - 9,9

I don't care about Bill's scores....joking! We don't bother keeping track. Yet. ;)

Day 2 Week 4 - Strip the Fear Workout - Jan 26 2012

No yoga this morning...bed felt way too good to leave.


It was a rushing sort of day.  I was stuck in a telecon with the UK for 2 hours.  It is a weekly meeting but went on longer due to some changes on the project.  Oh well.


Today's workout was great. I did it four times through making it a 16 minute one.


My scores were


1. Push-up + Clean & Press & Squat & Press - 6, 5, 5, 6 (Counting each round)
2. Plyo-metric Jump & Press Up - 10, 8, 8, 8 (counting each press-up)
3. Plank & Floor touch & Knee Tuck – Alternate Sides - 16, 16, 16, 17 (counting each side of course)
4. Reverse Pull Up’s - 16, 14, 16,16


I think I pulled a something or other in my inner thigh, right side, on the weekend and I felt it with #3.  Need to watch this.


Can't wait for the fit test at the end of this.

Week 4 - Active Rest

I must go and buy a children's birthday gift after work. And for someone who despises shopping believe me this will be a workout.

When I get home I will do yoga.

It's chicken with sautéed veg for dinner tonight.

Week 3 - Day 5

I have just finished eating 3/4cup of Greek syle yogurt with one scoop of protein powder and 1/2 cup of blueberries. My post workout snack. Delish. I completed the 800 reps in 14:10. I did Seans back and bicep focused workout one time through. Loved it. The reverse pull ups kill. I want to add that my inner thighs are scramming today! Bill did 400 reps in 10:50 and I'm so proud of him. He also did one round of Seans entire workout, which was 4 minutes (10/50).

Week 3, Day 4 - We Found Love Workout 2

WOW!  This was a sweaty, sweaty one. Those side planks with the top leg elevated, lower leg lifting were a challenge.  I was daft enough to no place anything  under my elbow the first two times through.  Ouch!!!!  I love my bamboo flooring but...OUCH!!!!

Bill did this with me.  I love the dude.  He gave it his all and he even did the plank leg lift exercise as I was doing them.  I wasn't happy with his form but he insisted.  I even remembered to write down my scores.  WOW again!

It was a challenge for the two of us to do this one at the same time. We used piece of equipment, a rack of sorts, I bought a couple of years ago for bench press, squats, pullups, etc. for the side plank leg raises. (I use this equipment to hang close on to air dry) We were side to side, face to face and then ass to ass.  That is love!  That is determination.

My scores:

1. Jump tuck, squat under and over  - 20, 19, 17

2. Elevated one legged Push ups with alternating knee tuck - 25, 18, 16

3. Side Plank Leg Lift Left Side - 25, 26, 13 (thirteen represents the OUCH!)

4. Side Plank Leg Lift Right Side - 31, 21, 18

I still want to do yoga but I don't know.  I had a lovely walk in Port Credit.  Its cold but so nice and sunny out.
