The Latest with My Workouts!

Don’t think for one minute that I am slacking on my workouts!  (The reason I say that is because I usually am!)  Nope, not this time!  I am tracking my weight (secretly) too.

The Sunday my friend was in town and we went to a fabulous resort for the weekend – I worked out.  I dragged her into it too!  I remember her complaining that she was a bit in pain the next day LOL.

Last Monday – elliptical for 25 minutes.

Last Wednesday – circuits with Max…and guess what?  I did not complain and whine as much as I used to!  I think I may be getting stronger…just a bit.

Last Friday – elliptical 20 minutes!

This past Saturday – a special circuit.  First, I warmed up (jumping jacks, leg lifts, and crunches).  Then I had to see how many of each of the following exercises I could do in one minute.  (one at a time of course!)

• Mountain Climbers
• Jumping Jacks
• Squats
• Push ups
• Burpees
• Jumping Jacks

I was super impressed with what I could actually do!  I am going to post my numbers and do this “challenge” each week to see how I progress!

Today – off to the gym.  I was initially planning on doing the elliptical for 30 minutes, but when I told Max that, I was delivered a yellow piece of paper with what I was REALLY going to do at the gym.  Oh well, guess I am not going to catch up on Jane By Design like I thought I would.

My routine:

• Warm up – 30 jumping jacks, 20 crunches, 10 leg raises (2x)
• 30 mountain climbers, 20 squats, 10 push ups (2x)
• 30 jumping jacks, 20 lunges, 10 burpees (2x) – the burpees killed me.  I only did 7 the first time and ditched them the second time around.
• 15 leg raises, 15 crunches, 20 curl/press, 30 jumping jacks (2x)
• 7 minutes elliptical

I felt super energized on the elliptical and then died down slowly.  Whew…what is your favorite workout?

BTW, this is what a burpee is:
