Day 1 of my 30 Day HIIT Challenge


I decided that now was a good a time as any to start another 30 day challenge. It has been at least a year since I have done one...wow, a YEAR! Time really does fly by! I enjoyed Body Rock so much at the beginning of 2012 that I really wanted that kind of workout and those results again. So, I did like I have done several times before, I started from the beginning. I took some "cute" pictures of my core to show a before picture and I will update my progress through pictures every two weeks (so 2 more times). 


I wanted my workout to be target specific and alternate between cardio and strength. I did the normal 50 seconds work and 10 seconds rest type of  HIIT workout (High Intensity Interval Training). Here is what I came up with and how many I did of each in the 50 seconds:

Push-ups with knee in (alternating sides) 25
High Knees 150
Seated rope climb (with knees bent and off the ground) 50
Burpees with a push-up and tuck jump 13
Wall Plank with knee in (alternating sides) 20
Squat jumps (traveling) 19
Side plank with arm through (left) 18
High Knees 155
Side plank with arm through (right) 25
Burpees with push-up and tuck jumps 7
Mountain climbers 65
Squat jumps (traveling) 17

OMG! I was sweating so bad when I got done with this 12 minute workout! I did this one at work and had my Garmin on, so I did get to track my heart rate. Check out my workout here. This gives me a baseline to start from. It doesn't matter what someone else can do, just what you can do. *Remember that* Here are my pictures from my "start". My goal is to tighten my core, get rid of those hip handles, and tighten up that rear!



 I know I will be sore tomorrow...but I can't wait for my results to to show!! Here is a taste of my day 2 workout :)

Here's to the next workout! Until next time...
