What I Did: Hungry for some Heart Pounding?

I was shocked at this workout and the fact that my heart rate got up as high as it did (oops...should watch that!). I was a bit confused at first, you do them in the order they are numbered and that number is also the reps. So just one? Just two? Really? Well it adds up and though it's not a puker it's definitely one that if you take minimal breaks and push into the next level up  you'll get a good sweat on :)

Warm up: New dance warm up :) Did it 2ce, first time to learn, second time to dig it...

Workout: I did level 2 at 5 sets with 30-40 seconds rest in between sets.

Total Time: with warm up 8min + 21 min workout + 5 min cooldown stretches (yep I did them today) that was 34 minute workout
HR: 160-170
Sweat'o'Metre: had that fan in my face, it was getting hot without it I probably would have been super sweaty
Burn'o'Metre: nothing burned a LOT maybe those leg raises if I did them a bit slower but it was more a cardio burn for me (surprisingly! I thought it'd be more muscular. Maybe I'll try level 3 next time!)

started wearing my hubbies t-shirts now that I'm past
6 months preggers. Things are getting a bit "toight" hehe

What I Did: Squeeze & Push It

Today I did some of those Tiffany Rothe pregnancy videos. I was shocked...for some reason I was sweating a whole lot more than usual (maybe cause it was in my bedroom with less air flowage?) but none the less I am always surprised how these fairly light looking videos burn my body!

Warm up: Just did this video 1ce through

Workout: I did this one 2ce through

Total Time: approx 30 minutes
HR: oops forgot to take
Sweat'o'Metre: yikes dripping down my temples and those arms were getting quite slippery!
Burn'o'Metre: oh gosh the tip toe squat pulses with the outward knee pushes friggin burn! That's where I had to "push it" and don't forget to squeeze that butt. Felt it there too!
No I am not gonna post a photo of my butt for proof haha ya right.

too bad you can't see the sweat but yeah it's there...bad lighting

What I Did: Flash (the superhero not the dance)

If my photo today looks a little sluggish it's because I felt that way. Totally had to drag myself away from the last 5 minutes of some Korean drama (hehe) which says a lot so I would just do it. SO here's what I did,

Warm up: Used the first couple sets of round 1 to warm up

Workout: I am not exactly sure if I did it right but I did each Round 5 times through then moved onto the next one with about 1 min rest in between each round. I rested maybe 10 or 15 seconds between some sets. For those starting (or pregnant) listen to your body but don't be afraid to push yourself (unless doctors orders etc etc).

Total Time: 29:15 with a few minutes of stretches at the end (approx 33-34 min total)
HR: 150 consistent throughout
Sweat'o'Metre: Yep, it's sweaty if you don't take a lot of breaks
Burn'o'Metre: same goes for the burn, the fewer/shorter the breaks the better the burn!

What I did: Total Gym and other random stuff

I realized by skipping my workout last night I won't be able to get 3 in this week booooo!!!! I forgot I'm out all day tomorrow. Shame. Oh well at least I have 2 physical activity dots as well as 2 workouts. Whatev's I'm preggers right? haha!

What I Did: Act Like a Stereotypical Pregnant Woman...then workout.

I think I've done above average for the typical pregnant women. I haven't seen my pregnancy as an excuse to eat for two, and to eat the worst of all junk foods. Mind you have I have been super health nut either and have allowed myself the extra calories here and there. However today was super lazy, super loaded with sugar and fat and carbs (the bad kind)...then I convinced my husband/he convinced me/we dragged each other to the living room to do a workout together (since we've both put on some preggo pounds lately oops!). Here's what we did;
Warm up: this workout was light enough to start with that the first set or two can be counted as warm up
Workout: Yay daily burn from Neila Rey...we did 10 SETS! WOO 100 REPS TOTAL OF EVERYTHING!

Total Time: I finished in 20:57 with no rest breaks between sets

HR: 160-170

Sweat'o'Metre: it was getting sweaty with no fan but even though it was starting to get challenging by the end it wasn't super sweaty for a super awesome workout!

Burn'o'Metre: it never got unbearable but it was good to push without breaks and to go for speed!

What I Did: Shoulders, Pipes & Core

Still feeling sore from that squatter workout, wowzahs! I took it easy with the impact and kept it light with some upper body and core work.
No warm up...

Workout: 2 sets of 12-15 (15-20 for each core exercise)
Pike push ups & Chest flyes with 10 elevated single leg bridges each side
Chest press & Anterior shoulder raises with 15 ball roll outs
Lateral Shoulder raise & Rear deltoid flyes with 15 plank climbs
Seated bicep curl & (6) laying bicep curls for burnout with 15 side planks each side

Total Time: 21:44
HR: 140
Sweat'o'Metre: not really, kept it low
Burn'o'Metre: a pretty good burn for each muscle group due to the double pairing 

What I Did: Squat's R US

Tonight is date night and to be honest I really just wanted pizza, wings, pop and a good movie with my hubby. He x-nay'd the pop for sugar (good for him eh?) so I'm drinking milk and then when we got home from picking up the above said food items and a movie he decided while it was cooking we should work out. Normally after 5pm I'm like nah I'll just get some comfy pants on and veg but he was pretty motivating (and rarely likes working out together) so what better way to bond on date night then by sweating it out together (hehe)? And I am not one to turn down bonding time with my man. SO here's what we did, no warm up just stretching out afterwards since we're like...old and stuff and tomorrow neither of us will be able to walk.

Workout: I did level I at 3 sets (and only 40 squats for each squat set), he did I.5 at 4 sets

Total Time:16:45 for 3 sets

HR: 160-170

Sweat'o'Metre: I don't think my body knew what was happening, had I gone 5 more minutes I'm sure I would have gotten really sweaty (though still got icky enough to take a shower after)

Burn'o'Metre: uh lower body burn do I even need to mention it? gosh. Feels awesome though :)
