Still lovin' the burpee

Today is day 3 of the Burpee challenge, and I'm feeling good! Initially I had started with ten burpees, and adding one each day. My GOOD friend Shanan pointed out to me that this was meant to be a challenge, and that really 10 burpees is not a challenge for either her or I. THANK YOU Shanan (please hear the sarcasm) for making me up the anti - so, yesterday I did 31 burpees!

The other thing today marks, is the first day of regular noon hour workouts!! Today Shanan and I quietly got a workout in at the office! We located an empty cubical in a quiet spot on the floor, and we were off. With only two mats, a stability ball and some light hand weights we were able to get in a solid 35+ minutes.  We were good and sweaty by the end. I'm feeling really good about this - the start of a really good thing!


Here's what we did (each exercise was done 12 reps/3 rounds) I called this the 'Full Body':
  1. Calf raises (holding at 5  lb weight)
  2. Hamstring curls (on the stability ball)
  3. Sumo Squats (with a 10 pound weight)
  4. Side Lunges
  5. Wall squats
  6. Crunches
  7. Plank
  8. Triceps dips
  9. Side plank (with dip)
  10. Shoulder press (with two 5 pound weights)

See you tomorrow!
