That ass ain't gonna run itself off! LOVE this! I think this is perfect for a Monday, don't you? - especially this Monday. I'll give you two guesses what my workout consists of today? Yep...running!! It's okay - we all know I need to run more and I should be able to get today's workout in since Addy will only be here for just a little bit this morning. I'm taking her to her other grandmother's today after her morning feeding. It's her great-grandfather's birthday today and they are going to visit with him. This little girl is so blessed to have so many people in her life!!
Well, I got all of the important/necessary things upstairs in my office last week and was able to do payroll and billing on Friday like normal. I think I'm going to move my treadmill and bike - just turn them in a different direction. I'm trying to make as much open floor space as possible for floor exercises - push-ups, sit-ups, burpees - you know...the "fun" stuff! lol That won't take any time at all to move around though. I still have a few office things to move upstairs, but nothing that I have to have right away so I can bring a little bit of it up at a time.
Today's workout is from HIIT Mamas:
6 rounds for time
Run 400 meters
25 Push-ups/Sit-ups*
*alternate each round
The Brand X website has this for today's workout as well, but they are doing pull-ups instead of the other. I'd rather do the other! lol - The modified "puppy" version is 4 rounds and 10-12 pull-ups. The "pack" version is also 4 rounds, but 15-20 pull-ups. I haven't decided if I'm going to do the modified 4 rounds or go for 6. Regardless of which distance I decide to do, I am NOT changing the number of reps for the push-ups/sit-ups, but I am going to do double the "rounds" and split the distance in half (200 meters), so I can run the entire thing without having to walk. It will look like this:
12 (or 8 rounds) for time
Run 200 meters
13/12 push-ups/sit-ups
Y'all wish me luck! Really....wish me luck - my treadmill and I haven't been buddy/buddy lately. I'm hoping it's not going to take my being neglectful too harshly on me! lol
*************************
Well...it's like I thought it would be...my treadmill HATES me! lol That was brutal, but I did it!! I did the modified version as follows:
8 rounds for time:
#1 - run 200 meters
- 13 push-ups
#2 - run 200 meters
- 13 sit-ups
#3 - run 200 meters
- 12 push-ups
#4 - run 200 meters
- 12 sit-ups
#5 - run 200 meters
- 13 push-ups
#6 - run 200 meters
- 13 sit-ups
#7 - run 200 meters
- 12 push-ups
#8 - run 200 meters
- 12 sit-ups
Recumbent bike 1/2 mile
Total treadmill time: 14:23/1 mile
Total bike time: 2:01
Total workout time: 33:16
I am SO sweaty and out of breath! I really hate workouts where you run, then get down in the floor for sit-ups. I tend to just lay in the floor before actually starting the sit-ups and that just kills my time! Oh well...it is what it is. Great workout!
