Sweating from the Get-Go!

This week I have had an abundance of positive energy and I just feel amazing. My food choices are good and the workouts are just awesome this week. We've changed it up a bit and I feel great.

Today started with Planks, hold regular plank position for 20 seconds, then rotate to left for 20 seconds, then to right 20 seconds, that's 1 round. We did 3 rounds with no breaks. I had to adjust a few times but I held my own I thought. I'd rather do a straight 60 seconds of planks than that! But, Ben said it would get rid of our love handles so, we did it!

Next was well, how do I say this... a challenge. Came in 2 sections. First 1/2 had 3 stations of pushups x 20, gobblet squats x 10 and kettlebells x 10. Go through the 3 and that's 1 round. We had to do as many rounds as we could in 10 mins. Lisa, Erica and I each got 4. Christine was out today. The second 1/2 was 10 times harder. The stations were renegade rows x 10 each arm/15 lb. db., reverse crunches x 15 and step ups, 1o each leg w/ 15 lb. db. in each hand. Holy crap. Oh you think we're done now? Nope...

Welcome to Ben's Leg Matrix. 24 jump squats, 24 jump lunges, 24 squats, 24 lunges. He wanted us to finish it in under 3 minutes. I got 3:17, erica finished a little after 3 mins, and Lisa finished a little after me so we all did really well.

Our NT of the D was some new food ideas... can always use those. I'm curios about the Can-Yo. Who can figure that one out??!! :o)

PIN peeps, I'm outtie.
