I just did Wednesday's workout - WOW! That was a GREAT one! Just to refresh your memory, for time I had to:
Run 500 meters (.31/mile)
50 - box jumps
push ups
situps
kettlebells
back extensions
bench dips
20 burpees
Well...35:22 - I'll take it! SO PROUD OF ME.....I ran a full 1/4 mile at 4.5/mph WITHOUT stopping! I tried to continue, but could only run more block segment into the next 1/4 mile and I slowed to a 3.0/mph walk for the remainder. It is SO hard to workout with sinus issues - I kept coughing and gagging due to sinuses draining in my throat. That got old real quick.
I raised my aerobic step to 9 inches for the box jumps - first time EVER that I could do 9 in. box jumps - another ACCOMPLISHMENT!
My pushups still need a lot of work - I could only do 25 before having to rest, so I did 10 back extensions during my rest period, then 10 pushups, 10 back extensions, 15 pushups and 10 more back extensions.
My situps are improving! I can do so much better on my weight bench than on the floor. I actually did 29 situps and took a quick pause (for coughing!) then finished them up! My stomach muscles were burning!
I did kettlebells with a 15.5 lb dumbbell - super easy! I tried to finish up my back extensions, but could only do 6 more before my back started cramping/aching in my "hurt" spot, so I stopped doing those - total of 36 back extensions.
I thought the bench dips would give me a hard time like they did the last time I did them, especially since I started off all shaky from the get go - but I was able to do 22, rest and stretch, then 15 more, rest and stretch, then I forced myself to finish them up without stopping. I will probably be majorly sore in my triceps tomorrow.
I did 10 burpees - without the pushups, since Jenni said they weren't prescribed. I was going to push myself to do the final 10, but just did not have the energy today. But, hey! I did 10 burpees!! :)
Looking forward to this week's workouts, but not measurement day tomorrow. I really don't expect to see much difference this week, since it was so messed up for me - although I did do all workouts but one - Thursdays. Oh well - I'm having fun and seeing improvements and that's all that counts, right? :)
