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,

This morning was another obstacle. Staying in bed to sleep until noon seemed so much better than working out in the am. Not to mention, every muscle in my body is on fire! When I woke up I was contemplating today being a rest day…..then I said to myself…rest days are on Sunday’s. That’s only one more day away, so I woke up at 8:30a and did my yoga….added a little p90x abs, and you know what? By the time I was finished I felt so damn good that I dont even remember why I wanted to skip out!!
