First workout completed, and 99 to go!
Wow what a great start! I woke up extra early so I could get into the habit of working out earlier in order to stay committed. It's amazing how just a few explosive excessive sets can really perk you up in the morning. All around it's been a great start to my journey and I can't wait to see how I feel after 99 more days.
Today’s workout:
Morning
50 push-ups, 2 sets of 25
50 sit-ups, 2 sets of 25
Pull-ups till failure: I got to 18 before my arms gave out (my goal
is 25 after 30 days)
2km run to Uvic
I then went to WhollyFit boot-camp at Beckwith Park, a great place with a lot of potential for working out. There are playgrounds, a basketball court, soccer
fields, and don't forget the metal soccer goal frames, great for doing pull-ups, dips and shoulder
presses. The temperature had some of my clients a little wary to come out, but fortunately Nancy is always eager to workout and was brave enough to face the cold.
Warm-Up
For the warm-up we did 20 burpees with
tires, adding 5 mountain climbers in between each rep
Workout-30 minutes
20 get-out-of-beds- passing to Nancy (Lie down with a 12 pound medicine
ball, knees bent, sit-up to a standing position with only your legs)
20 wall plank push-ups (check out photo below)
20 wall walks
20 get-out-of-beds
20 dips
Tire tosses across entire soccer field
Sprinting back with the tire
20 tire slams
100 meter sprint to soccer nets
20 shoulder presses
20 push-ups
20 dips
50 bench jumps
We then finished with abs:
20 Russian twists (pyramid style) with a medicine ball
5 medicine ball tosses, taking a step backwards between each rep
By the end we were cold, wet and tired but
were smiling all the same. Buddy workouts are great because the competitive
aspect pushes you to a whole other level, something that's difficult to do in a solo workout. Can’t wait
for tomorrow’s workout at WhollyFit's boot-camp with our favorite trainer, Jenn
Hanson.
