back at it again

So after a 4-day break I'm back to the 30 day challenge doing day 1 of week 3.  Although maybe this is more like the two month challenge for me, hah!  I did the fit test again and Sean's chest and biceps workout.

My score on the fit test today:
squat jump: 29
pushups: 17
burpees: 15
high knees: 155
jump lunges: 27
tuck jumps: 16
straight abs: 18
Last fit test was on January 3, 2012 and I managed to squeek out one more straight ab and three more burpees than last time, otherwise all the scores were the same.

The strength round was hard - pushups are not my forte!  Here are my scores for that:
P1 - 20/2:00 interval, 6 rnds, circ 2x's
  1. straight push up followed by a chair dip (first round reg. pushups, second round on my knees): 10 sets, 10 sets + 1pu
  2. 21's (the last set of seven on the first round plus the second round was all on my knees): 1 set + 1 pu; 1 set
  3. Chest press using 2 10lb dumbbells: 46, 53

Glory to my booty

I did the Glory to the Booty workout this morning.  It's the last of five days in a row and boy do my legs hurt right now!  Two days off will be a definite good thing.

I finished the first part in 16:55:31
  1. 100 high knees
  2. 100 lunge kicks w/ 2 14lb dumbbells in gym bag (50 each leg)
  3. 100 high knees

I did 68 bent over rows in 3 minutes using same weights.

Bringing Sexy Back

I did the Bringing Sexy Back workout this morning for the day 4 of week 2 challenge.  Definitely hard, but I'm noticing that I've got a bit more endurance, so I guess I've needed to get back to these workouts seriously again.  Here's to a healthy body.  Now if I can just get our finances as strong.

My scores...

10/50 for 12 rnds cir. 3x's
  1. pushup burpee and tuck jump: 11, 7, 7
  2. star single toe touch abs: 23, 22, 20
  3. sit squat and jump with sndbg (I used a gym bag with 2 7lb dumbbells.  After the first round I stopped trying to lift the bag as the dumb bells were hitting my face - ouch): 17, 20, 22
  4. 10 mountain climbers + 10 toe touches: 4set + 3 mc, 3 sets, 3 sets + 10mc
That's it.  I didn't sleep so well last night, so hopefully I'll get a good nights sleep tonight.

Wild Ones

I thought I was really going to have trouble this morning doing this workout, but when all was said and done, I didn't feel too bad.  My legs were a bit shaky, but I could do more pushups than I had anticipated ... and more reverse pullups too!  So I did the Wild Ones workout this morning and here are my scores.

Part 1 - 10/50 intervals circ 2x's
  1. clean & press using 2 10lb dumbbells: 14, 14
  2. squat jumps, no weight: 27, 17
  3. 3 tier pushup: 10, 10
  4. reverse pull ups: 15, 13
  5. squat & press using 2 10lb dumbbells: 17, 12
  6. jump lunges, no weight: 25, 22
Part 2 - time trial, complete 3 rounds of the following as fast as possible (I finished in 18:35:96)

  2. 15 reps side-to-side dumbell rows using 2 10lb dumbbells
  3. 15 reps squat jump press using the gymbag with 7lb weights
  4. 15 lunge press and turn using 1 10lb dumbbell

Another Domino

So continuing with week 2's workouts I did the Domino workout.  I did this last week while I was at mom and dad's too.  Here's what I did today:

  1. box jumps and 1/2 burpee: 10, 8 & 1 box jump

  3. 3pt jumps and R&L knee to elbow: 9, 7
  4. side jump lunge with 7lb dumb bell: 26, 24 (I didn't improve on this one, but I did it properly by lifting the weight overhead this time around.  Last week I held the weights straight down in front of my hips.)
  5. tricep dips and knee raises on dip station: 8,8 (Last week I did crab dips instead of the dip station, so I can't really compare scores on this)
  6. walking pike pushups: 6,6

Starting week two of the 30-day challenge

I went on vacation last week, and so I wasn't able to workout along with the normal timing.  I thought I'd pick up with the beginning of week two today and go along from there.  This will be good too in case br has any technical trouble uploading, I'll be a full week behind.  So today I did the first day of the second week's workout called the Turn Me On Workout.  2 tough parts to this one!

Part 1 - 10/50 X 12 rnds; circ. 3x's
  1. 2 burpees with tuck jump plus 10 straight punches: 4sets & 1 burpee; 3 sets & 1 burpee; 3 sets

  3. 2 burpees plus 10 combo straight & hook punches: 3 sets, 3 sets, 2 sets & 2 burpees
  4. 2 mid abs and 2 high touch abs: 6 sets, 6 sets, 5 sets
Part 2 - time trial 3 rounds of the following circuit (I finished in 25:19:09):
  1. 50 skips
  2. 15 elevated 1 leg to side pushups, alternate legs each rep
  3. 50 skips
  4. 15 sets of 1 wide hand push up & 1 star hand pushup
  5. 50 skips

  7. 50 skips
  8. same as 6 on right arm
  9. 50 skips
  10. 15 chair dips
  11. 50 skips
My arms are noodly now.  I followed the workout with a hike to the river.  I'm looking forward to yoga on Thursday!

Catching up on vacation workouts post

We went on vacation last week and I did three bodyrock workouts, but didn't bother to email them into the blog.  So today I'm catching up with my scores from last week, then I'll add a separate post for this morning's workout.

So first up on Sunday Jan. 8 I did the I won't give up workout.
Part 1 - Time challenge to do 4 rounds of 75 high knees and 25 reverse leg curls on the floor: I finished in 9:06:76
Part 2 - Time challenge to do 3 rounds of this circuit: 15 reps 1/2 burpee rows with weight (all mom had was 2 5lb dumb bells, so that's what I used), 15 reps single leg 1-arm rows on each leg and 15 jack curls.  I finished in 9:15:51 

On Jan. 9 I did the Wish You Would Workout workout.
10/50 X 12rnds; circuit 3x's
1. burpees with push up & jump tuck: 15,8.5,7.5
2. reverse pull ups (I did the crab dance instead): 13, 16, 16
3. triple plank jumps (I counted each round of jumping to the middle and to each side as one rep): 11,11,10
4. V-up Hugs: 20,21,20

I did two active rest days, then worked out again on Jan 12.  Then I climbed in the car and was extremely uncomfortable the whole ride to St. Louis.  Note to self: working out on a long travel day may not be the best idea.  Anyways, I did the Domino workout that day.
10/50 X 12 rnds; circuit 2x's
1. box jumps and 1/2 burpee: 8,8
2. lunge and swing (used both of mom's 5lb dumb bells): 19, 16
3. 3-point jumps & r&l knee to elbow: 7,6
4. side leap with 2 5 lb. dumb bells: 31,35
5. tricep dips and knee tuck: 25,29
6. walking pike pushup: 5,5
I'll be doing this workout again tomorrow so it'll be interesting to see how having all the proper weight and most equipment will change my scores so soon.

Day 3 - International Love Workout

I did both of the International Love workouts for the day 3 of the 30-day challenge this morning (I'm a day behind them, but I think this will work out o.k. for my vacation schedule anyways).  The combo's in the interval section were a bit easier to put together than yesterdays - not that I wasn't working hard still.  They were just easier to read and start properly.  Anyways, here are my scores for the workout...

  4. 15 on each side: back leg elevated lunge with 1 arm press up - used a 7lb dumb bell for the first two rounds, then a 10lb dumb bell for the last round
Completely exhausted now!   I did a little walking after this, but not much.  We'll see how rough I feel tomorrow.

Day 2 - Good Feeling Workout

I did the 2nd day of the 30-day challenge this morning called the Good Feeling Workout.  It was a tough cardio workout and I had trouble keeping track of the combo sets.  I wasn't sure how to count them, so I did a 'set' when I completed each combo of reps and then tried to note what extra I might have squeeked in before the beep.  Here are my scores:

10/50 X 12rnds; circ.1x
  1. 10 high knees & 10 mountain climbers: 5 sets plus 6 high knees
  2. 2 jump squats, 2 pushups, 1 tuck jump: 4 sets plus 2 jump squats
  3. L&R center to elbow plank jumps and 2 plank jacks: 7 sets plus 2 center to elbow jumps
  4. clean and press, squat and press, 1 pushup: 4 sets plus 1 clean and press and 1 squat and press
  5. 5 tuck jumps and 5 1/2 burpees squat and hold: 2 sets plus 5 tuck jumps
  6. 1 1-leg push up directly into 1 reptile pushup: 6 sets
  7. switch lunge and press: 19
  8. 2 side lunges, 2 L&R side punch, 2 tuck jumps: 5 sets plus 2 side lunges and 2 punches (not exactly sure on sets as I started to lose track mid-to half way on this one.
  9. 10 squats w/ 2 10lb dumbbells on shoulders, 10 jump squats no weight: 1 set
  10. elbow to knee jumps, 10 each side to make a set: 2 sets
  11. wide leg plank jumps and push up (formerly called dynamic pushups): 10
  12. speed run: 188
I followed this with the same intervals of running and then a stretch afterwards.  Definitely a dynamic workout.
