Day 3 Week 1 of the 30 Day Challenge

Feeling much better today! I'm not sure if it is the medicine (it is!) or the determination to push through yesterday that gave me a boost of energy today! I was pumped and ready to do Day 3's workout the moment I woke up. I want to note that even if you don't have the equipment that Lisa Marie uses in the video, don't be discouraged! She additionally gives alternatives at the end of the routine for people who can only use what they have at home. I do not have the parallel bars for the dips, the weighted ball for lifting, or the sandbag. Not. A. Problem. I improvised where needed because the mere fact that I was working out was better than giving up because of lack of equipment!

Workout: 12 minutes with 50 second sequences and 10 seconds rest between sequences
#1 Superman push ups - 7
#2 Elevated push ups and left and right knee to elbow - 16
** I did not do elevated push ups, I did regular push ups then knee to elbows
#3 Squat and Press - 20
** I did not have the sandbag to press, so I used a 10 pound weight
#4 Clean and press + jump forward + 3 squat jumps - 6
** I used the 10 pound weight here too
#5 Reverse pull ups - 27
** I did not have the bars so I did girl push ups
#6 Side jump burpee + 2 knee to elbows + tuck jump - 7
#7 Forward lunge + side lunge + knee lift L&R - 10
#8 Push up + burpee + sumo L&R knee touch - 7
#9 Tricep dip + kick out V abs - 15
** I did not have the bars so I used a dining room chair
#10 Overhead abs with weight - 15
** Again, I used the 10 pound weight
#11 Shoulder lift + Squat + switch shoulder press - 9
** I did not have the sand bag, so I used the 10 pound weight
#12 Speed Run - 184

Lisa Marie offered an additional workout with a guy providing 4 more workouts...however I was feeling like my abs needed more attention so I did additional abs workouts. I did a combination on the floor of 10 middle crunches, 10 to the right side, 10 middle, 10 to the left side, 10 middle, 10 with my arms raised above my head, 10 with my arms to the sides, 10 to the right side, 10 middle, and 10 to the left side. Then standing up, I did 25 obliques (squat with your knees slightly bent and rock from side to side with you hand behind your head. Be sure your abs are as tight as possible), 50 punches (alternating hands), and then 25 more obliques. I figured 200 abs would be a good substitute to the other video!

I must say, I am so sore!! It is the best feeling ever! Here's to Day 4!! Have you started yet? Let me know your progress!! Until tomorrow...

April **My word for today is Energetic**
