My rest day was so long! I did end up going out for a short walk….I made it all the way to the drive way before I realized the snow would not let me go anywhere. Even today the snow is absolutely relentless. Instead of doing the runner’s thingy that was planned for 5am, I had to improvise. To become a good runner you need cardio and stamina, so I quickly made a list of exercises that helped from the Army and created a circuit. The list is as follows: Do each for 1:00 with 20 sec rest
-Jumping Jacks (go hard!!!)
-Mountain climbers
-Speed-skaters
-Jumping Jacks
-Plank (every runner needs a good core)
-Squat Jumps (as high as you can go)
-Jumping Jacks
-High knees (fast, fast, fast)
-Run in place ( fast fast fast)
-Jumping Jacks
-Jump Rope
-Reverse Plank
-Toe Touches
-Jumping Jacks
I did one round of this because it’s kind of long. Then I went to my Brazilian butt workouts. (The goal for today was to work on my abs down) Once I finished with that, I did P90X ab ripper!!!! Then I completed another circuit…sort of, by then my legs and hip flexors were in absolute muscle failure, but I pushed myself to do as much as I could until I couldn’t do anymore! Remember, your mind gives up before your body does. Tell yourself that every workout. When it starts to hurt, push harder!!! Of course, I had to do some major stretching after that. I concentrated mostly on my abs, hips, and legs to help prevent injury. All in all today was a great day for me. 🙂
Until next time,
