Day 3 Week 2 of the 30 Day Challenge

It's the middle of week 2 and I feel great! I love these strength training exercises. I think I am getting better at my push ups too...even if they are girl push ups!! :) I ate fairly well today...I did have that afternoon coffee, but it seemed to give me a boost that helped me push through my workout...even if it was the wrong kind of boost, I still pushed hard. I did Lisa's workout twice through and Freddy's workout once through.

Workout: 12 minutes 50 second sequences with 10 seconds between [do through twice]
#1 Clean & Press [I used free weights] [16, 16]
#2 Squat leaps [31, 33]
#3 3 tier push ups [14, 20]
#4 Reverse pull ups [I did dips then knee to elbow in a chair] [15, 15]
#5 Squat & Press [22, 25]
#6 Switch lunges [37, 47]

I did not have a sand bag, so I did all of these exercises with a 10 pound free weight [Do 15 of each]
#1 Sand bag swing 26 seconds
#2 Sand bag up right row 31 seconds
#3 Sand bag squat jump press 1:16
#4 Sand bag lunge press side turn 1:02

I really liked the squat leaps, especially after doing the presses. I can really feel the burn in the back of my arms! My favorite exercise of Freddy's workout was the lunge press side turn. They worked my obliques good. Each day I get better and faster at the exercises because I know what I am doing now. Don't get discouraged if you are just starting and it takes you more time to study the exercise plan than to do the routine! Hang in there and stick with it! Here's to Day 4 Week 2! Until tomorrow...
