I went to my parents' lake house on Thursday night for the weekend, but I managed to workout on Friday (pats self on back) while my boyfriend yelled encouraging things to me from upstairs ("why are you breathing so loudly?" "Shuddap") ( he's a gem). We didn't have internet or phone service at my house, so I made up a little cardio routine to make myself feel better about all the beer, cured meat, and aged cheese I stuffed into my little mouth over the course of 3 days. It was hard.

Also, I'm now back on the clean eating after that little 3 day hiatus. Oh well, life goes on.

March 6th Workout

Here is the workout I did last night. You need a weight (they use a sandbag, but I have a 10-lb ankle weight with a strap which worked just fine), and a surface for your feet during the elevated plank knee tucks (I used a chair, but a couch or stability ball would work well, too). This workout is actually supposed to be 50 reps each move with 500 skips at the end, but I misread and only did 20 of each. When I didn't feel dead afterwards I looked and saw that it was actually 50 (!) so I repeated once more. That did the trick.

Happy sweating! (and panting, and cursing :) )

March 5th Workout 

Today's workout was a little calmer in terms of me dying and sweating all over my carpet, but it was definitely still hard. I'm sure my abs, hip flexors, and hip abductors will be feeling it tomorrow!

These moves have strange names, and I couldn't think of anything more descriptive that was short enough for artwork, so if you have any questions as to what they are, visit Bodyrock.tv for the Sweet Nothing workout to see a breakdown. They are all moves that you can do without weight, and I don't even have a Ugi ball, I just used two big firm pillows for the balance moves.

Have fun!

March 4th workout

Here's a breakdown of what I did this morning. It was actually sorta a rest after the last few days! I found that if I workout in front of a mirror (topless at home), I am much more motivated to keep going through the burn then if I'm wearing baggy clothing. Nothing wrong with a little visual reminder of what I'm working for! 

Here is the workout adapted from Bodyrock.tv 

By the way, that is the chemical structure of caffeine in the background...built that a few weeks ago on a boring Friday night :p

March 3rd workout. Easy to do at the gym! just set-up with a medicine ball, a mat, and a big stability ball.

This workout was adapted from Bodyrock.tv . Some of the names of the moves were changed to make them more Americanized :)

Enjoy!

Workout for March 2nd

Second day in my 30 day quest to less flab! Here is another workout adapted from the bodyrock.tv website. It's not exact, but It's pretty darn close! You'll need some weights, either a barbell or dumbbells probably around 15 lbs total (I used two 8 lb weights), two chairs or dip bars, and your body! Get ready to have trouble breathing...

March 1st workout, adapted from Rockbody.tv's workout Hiit Reps.

This was definitely hard...while doing the Hiit core workout afterwards I was dripping on my pilates mat. I only cranked out 2 sets of this workout, mostly because of time constraints but it was very challenging!
