Week 3 Friday
Strong is Sexy Fitness Challenge
By 5:20 this morning I was ready to begin the day with a natural awakening. No alarm required today! Though that doesn't mean I actually started my day then so for the next 15 minutes I laid in bed and enjoyed the peace. After a few stretches I settled on a pair of pink shorts and a sports bra for my workout and headed out to the porch.
Yesterday evening I took some time to review Crazy Home Bootcamp and was frightened. I'm sure it's a really awesome workout, but not one I'll be experiencing this morning. The moves were pretty advanced and required more time to prep, which I just didn't have so I took advantage of the simple yet challenging Body like a Carry Out routine from Monday I missed.
This particular challenge was an interval workout set for 12 rounds of 10 second and 50 second intervals, but instead adjusted it to be a time challenge. I wasn't sure the number of reps to perform so I reviewed the scores posted and decided 10 reps each would be a good number. The first round seemed easy, but as I moved closer to the finish I was also slowing down and glad that I was only doing 10.
I felt pretty silly trying to perform the Pike Press-Pike Jump-Jump Up, because my press and jump are still pretty wimpy so after 2 rounds I decided to accept that for now this move will require modification. So until I built up my strength I will be using the steps, which helped greatly in keeping my balance allowing me to focus on proper form and muscle use.
The forward/backward lunge was another toughie for me. Man it really works those legs and it doesn't take long before you feel the burn so it was a definite push for me to finish strong. In my number I counted one forward + one backward lunge as 1 rep, and Zuzana counts each lunge as 1 so technically I performed 40 each round.
