Workout Wednesdays - Week VI

Weekly recap, at least for myself, of what I actually accomplished or got done!

This happens to be on Wednesdays because 'Workout' starts with a "W" and I'm a sucker for alliteration. Guess that's what happens when your mom is an English major!


Also feel free to follow/friend me on The Daily Mile!

This Week in Workouts:

Holy Goodness!!! That knocked the Sparkles out of me... this BodyRock.tv stuff is serious.

Also, can I say how cute Lisa-Marie's British accent is??


Modification:  Since I don't have a huge weighted Sand bag I held two 5lb weights for that part.

This SERIOUSLY brings your heart rate up quick! Then I started a second BodyRock.tv circuit -- "Turn Me On", but too many burpees for one day -- I only got through round one!

Finished up with Treadmill 3 mi  00:26mi   //  08:33 pace

Really pushed it.

Saturday, January 14th -

Super Speed because we had somewhere very important to be!

I convinced Mike to try the BodyRock.tv routine with me -- we staggered the order of the circuit so that we wouldn't need the equipment at the same time and could just complete it in my apartment.

He agreed that it got his heart rate up and those Press up Burpee + Plyometric Jumps were intense.  

Sunday, January 15th -

My thighs are SCREAMING today.  They say we are no longer friends and I have the bruise to prove it...
