Day 37: Fit Test # 3

Sorry, stomach still not 100% and still a little bloated.  So measurements and photos will be done tomorrow (most likely).

Today's Fit Test results!!!

Switch Kicks:  150 kicks

Yay!  Day 1 results.  Although I'm sure I kicked higher today in comparison to Day 1.  Rest makes a difference.


Power Jacks:  65 jacks

Started feeling sick immediately after Switch Kicks actually.  I mentioned eating cheese the other day and feeling sick.  My stomach felt like it dropped and wasn't happy.  Not happy at all.  Went down compared to last week, but still better than Day 1.



Power Knees:  122 right knees

Wow up.  I did rest a bit and paused the DVD after Power Jacks because I was worried I was going to faint.  I thought about it... and 30 seconds to rest is not enough time really for a "max" test.  I know it's not "strength" but it's still a "max" test.  Typically "max" tests require about 2-6 minutes of rest.


Power Jumps:  55 jumps

I seriously don't know how I pushed through this.  The rest of the workout was all mental.  *dies*


Globe Jumps:  13 "around the worlds"

Still kept results pretty good so far.  I did rest an extra minute in between exercises.  Not going to faint!


Suicides:  22 "burpees"

Same number as 2 weeks ago!  *happy*  Still feel like dying.  They looked really weak I bet... but it's okay.


Push-up Jacks:  17  jacks

I don't know.  Going downhill.  25 to 21 to 17.  Wah... I'm surprised!  I know I'm dying, but I was able to push through all the other exercises.  My arms really just felt noodley and tired.


Low Plank Oblique Knees:  90 knees

Last exercise.  I was able to push through to complete this.  Down 2 repetitions... but still big improvement compared to Day 1.



Max Interval Circuit today also!!!

How will I survive?  Time for rest then workout time!

Day 35/36: Rest Day (Tuesday-Wednesday)

Dropped the ball today!

Ate a piece of fettucini alfredo w/o any lactaid pills... and had a stomach ache for the day and next day.

Dumb move.  =(

Was supposed to begin workout on Wednesday... but didn't because stomach hurt too much.

Day 34: Last day of Core Cardio & Balance

Last day!!!  O__O

Month 2 starts in 2 days.  I'm nervous and excited.  I can see a change in my body.

Then I eat.

Then it's gone.

LOL, not really, but my stomach sure does like to expand!  I think my arms and shoulders are looking good.  My thighs and legs look more toned.  4-pack kind of showing when I wake up!  Then I eat.  Then it's gone.  f(^o^;)


Core Cardio & Balance notes


WHOA.  Workout was a little tough and a little slow today.  Body's fatigued from yesterday's gym workout.  Thighs feel a bit heavy.  I took some videos.  Yes!  Multiple videos.  My baby bro came and started watching me (you can see me talk to him).  Then I started laughing at times... threw me off my game!

Anyways... enjoy!  It's been a while!

Exercise:  Warm-up stretches.  Short video.  Short segment on stretching.




Exercise:  4 right leg hops, 4 left leg hops, repeat; 8 jabs and hop to the other side, repeat; followed by... dun dun DUN!  Hip Flexor Burners (the ones I always talk about) ~ 30 seconds of hip flexion + 30 seconds of isometric hip flexion with pulses + 30 seconds of hip flexion with leg extensions!!!  Repeat on other side.

Exercise:  Standing obliques ~ same-side elbow to knee touches; Shoulder Burners ~ in sumo/plie squat while holding arms in 180 the entire time ~ 30 sec of "flapping" + 30 sec abdominal crunches with arm flys (open and close) + 30 sec overhead touches + 30 sec backward arm circles + 30 sec forward arm circles


My thighs were dying in this one!
