Day 2. Group Step!

Continuing on my goal of saying YES more often and trying new things ... I present ... Group Step.


This is a choreographed step workout ... and it was fun! Hard but fun! I am more co-ordinated than I thought I was ... and worked at the high level most of the time. However there were a few steps I had no WAY of figuring out!

It was hot. Fun. And 468calories worth of burn! A good way to start the day!



Beetroot face time in the car on the way home from the gym.

Today's plan is to dive in and do housework cause tomorrow will be a right off house wise.

Tap class tonight! Go hard guys! Tomorrow is weigh in Wednesday!

Confession

I had decided not to train tonight. I was tired hot and lazy.
And I wanted to watch the biggest loser. Ironic hey.

But mish would have my head if I lay on the couch and watched her show. Guts for garters.

So I pulled the robot mode card. I got up, got dressed and went to the gym. And ran.

It's a good thing my gym has these fancy pancy treadmills and xtrainers with tvs on them!

So an hour of biggest loser. An hour of hard cardio. Reckon Mish would be ok with that.

And 570 cal gone. It's getting harder to burn those calories. I must be getting fitter. Damn.

I was awesome tonight :)

Yep.

I'm a rockstar.

Tonight I did Pump + zumba.

Tonight I was determined to go hard. I upped my weights in pump beyond what I had before. I did entire tracks where I would have taken a break before. And I screamed my way through the tricep dips even tho they HURT! I must admit I was telling myself Mish was there telling me to keep going. I kept going but I was swearing at her by the end!

Zumba was HOT! Both in dances and temp! But tonight I enjoyed it! I loved it! I felt like I could do it! And a max hr of 171 in zumba is just ridiculous! I went hard!

Total for tonight is 1024 cal burned! I was awesome tonight!

Declaring this another ROCKSTAR moment!

A Zumba marathon!

Tonight was a Zumba marathon!!

First miss e did kids Zumba - Zumba atomic. And mummy had to play too. And then I went off to a 2 Hr Zumba athon to rIde money for the qld flood appeal.

1000calories burned. And we match! How fun!!

Flat flat FLAT

Just to prove every one has a bad day.

I went to pump tonight. I normally love Pump. It is a class I did as a skinny 19 year old and I have rediscovered a love of.

Tonight I was just flat. I hated the music. I hated the routine.

And I never got my weights just right. Some tracks were way too heavy. Some were way too light.

But I did it. Just.

Here's planning for a better day tomorrow!

And now ... 12wbt makes marriages stronger and more fun!

10 years ago (wait - almost 11!) I married this man.

And 10 (almost 11!) years later we are still having so much fun!

But today, thanks to 12wbt I did something I have never done before. I worked out wtih my husband. And I pretty much held my own too.

You see that man of mine is super fit. Give him a bike and he will ride for days. Hills? Hills are not a problem. He LIKES hills. They are his speciality. Same for running - it seems easy for him. And he VOLUNTEERS for the hill legs. He is crazy. But today was different.

Today we went to the boxing class at the gym. It's a class that for some reason I've always been nervous about attending. I guess I always thought I wasn't fit enough for it. So I never went. But this year I am doing things that make me nervous - just to prove I can.

Boxing was hard. Boy it was hard. I was wishing someone would come and condemn those stupid stairs. We ran up and down them more than 20 times. And I sweated SO MUCH. No wonder - I burned 500 calories in that class.

But it was fun. And it was SO much fun to work out with my man! Now all I have to do is convince him to come with me again!

NOT the news I wanted to hear.

Today I found out sad sad news!
Today is the last day my gym is open until the 27th.

Not happy Jan.

So today I need to go and smash it up ... and then make plans till the 27th. I had wanted to work on my running so I guess this is the time to do it.


I just wish the rain would slow down!

Hellllooooo gym! I have missed you so!

My friend ... it has been far too long between workouts ... but I am BACK!!!

Today I dragged Miss E (5yr old) to the gym so I could workout. She sat and coloured (mainly - and screamed MUM I HAVE A PROBLEM .... I'M BORED! at least once)- and I sweated.

10 min on the xtrainer. Level 6.
25 min running. I ran for all but 2 min. I went hard. I sweated. I decided to download PINK when I get home because the choruses in her songs make you WORK.
Finishing with another 15 min on the xtrainer - levels 6 -8.

When I finished I had jelly legs. I was sweating like I had run a marathon in Darwin in the summer. But I felt SO. GOOD.

It felt so good to be back.

The gym and I have a love hate relationship. Today however it was love.

Rockstar day!

(and for the record - my toe was fine!)
