Wedding HIIT Training Week 1 Day 1

I have some exciting news...I'm getting married!! AHHHHH! Ok, so the big day is n August and now that I am past the half marathon, I decided to kick start the metabolism again with some HIIT training. I went online (Pinterest specifically) to find some good additions to my workouts. I also decided that since Sunday the 12th was my birthday, I would begin this new year in my life off right and HIIT it up! Here is what I did:

12 minute workout, 50 seconds work and 10 seconds rest
1 push-ups and knee-in 13

2 russian twists (8lb ugi ball) 64
3 squat jumps-stationary 22
4 inverted pull-ups 15
5 side plank arm through lf 25
6 side plank arm through rt 26
7 back lunges and press-ups (5lb each hand) 13
8 tricep dips 20
9 high knees 142
10 push-ups on equalizer bars 11
11 switch lunges 30
12 walking plank 5

I have found that 12 minutes fits my schedule well and is just enough time to really get me winded. Well, lets be honest...by minute 2 I am winded!!

I felt like an old lady this morning!! My numbers showed it too!! But, I did it and made a great chocolate and strawberry smoothie! It was great! In case you want it, here is the recipe:
1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 cup of milk (or a bit more to thin it out)
1/3 cup of frozen strawberries
1/3 cup of crushed ice

This was so good! Well, we will see how I feel tomorrow! Here's to the next workout! Until then...
