The HIIT Mash-Up Day 2

I did not sleep good at all last night! I kept waking up and by the time it was go time to workout I was not able to :(. My back was killing me! So, even with the weather looking terrible, I packed up my things and brought them to work for a HIIT in the Payne Center! This is my second day of a mash-up workout and let me tell you...it KICKED MY BUTT! I was going to start the 7 day Killer Fat Burn Workout, but since I am going to start the 30 day challenge soon, I held off. I did, however, use some of the exercises from the Day 1 of the 7 day workout because they were awesome! So, here is what I did:

50 seconds work, 10 seconds rest; 12 minutes total (do 2 times through)
1 Step and elbow to knee (left) 5lb weight 29, 24
2 Step and elbow to knee (right) 5lb weight 29, 24
3 Standing cross over and side out (10lb weight) 20, 17
4 Left arm/right leg plank abs 5lbs 17, 25
5 Right arm/left leg plank abs 5lbs 20, 20
6 Runners/Mountain Climbers 68, 80

**Please note that when I say left arm I mean that is the arm that is working. Also, I did not have a step available for exercise 1 and 2, so I got in the lunge position and keeping my knee bent I brought the back leg forward to meet the elbow of the raised arm with the weight.**

I was dripping sweat after just one set of these! They were killer. I shoulder are going to be mad at me tomorrow! This combination I did was crazy on my arms! I used a chair for the mountain climbers. I miss those...I had not done those in quite the while and I was impressed with how many I did! You can see most of the exercises I did from this workout here. The only one that is different was the standing cross over and side outs...which I have grown to LOVE! 

I decided that I wanted to finish this workout with a run...but after seeing that I did not have much time I only got a half of a mile in on the treadmill. I did that at a pace of 6.4 for 0.35 of a mile and then walked a 4.2 pace for 0.15 of a mile. I did this distance in 5:29. I wanted to run 2 miles, but realized when I started the run that I had zero time left and had to cut is way short! maybe next time I can get there sooner and get started so I can run longer! Check me out below...I was worked hard from this workout! Here's to the next workout, until then...
