June 6 - Look ma, no hands!


Today was a challenge to a) work out way past my frikkin bed time and b) find something to do where my palms wouldn't touch the ground, weights, or themselves. So this was an attempt:

Warm up w/ 30 lunges, then...
5x:
20 reverse burpees (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl3kHRR5pSs)
*except I tuck my knees like a ninja.
20 squats
1 min plank hold

It was probably easier than I should have planned but I was doing it at 11pm so that's all my brain could handle. Next time should make a plan to do more burpees (reverse or regular) in a row...

P.S.: I hate this guy --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve4J8QVSZk8&NR=1

July 4



5.2 mi with 6 hills (50 min). A lot easier without stroller or the dog (whom I had to drag up a hill last time) but still had to stop at the top of hills 4 and 6. Je fait suckage.
100 calf raises, around 60 ab thingies* and 20 level-change planks.**

*Ab thingies is when I do any ab rep 20 times or until I'm bored and switch. I cannot commit to any one ab exercise for 100 reps... Except maybe med balls and I don't have a med ball.
** You start with plank w/ straight arms, go down to elbows, then up to straight arms again. That's one rep. Do 10 then change direction (i.e., bring different side elbow down first) on the next 10. These are fun but my triceps wanted to vomit the whole time. Next time I want to try bracket it with 1min regular plank holds before and after. Need some more "alternative plank" ideas...
