What I Did: Post Bootcamp Burn

I ran the first session of my 2nd bootcamp today.  It depends what the workout is, sometimes I lead it in front of everyone doing it with them other times, like today, I just run around showing people how to do things, alternatives, encouraging, pushing and so I don't get to do the actual workout. So after that I decided to do my own thing this afternoon;

Warm up: 2 lengths of a soccer field + 25 jumping jacks 2ce through = 3min

Workout:
40 squats, 20 mountain climbers, 2 lengths of the soccer field (jog/run)
30 walking lunges, 20 mountain climbers, 2 lengths of the soccer field
20 Burpee long jumps, 20 mountain climbers, 2 lengths of the soccer field
40 knee tucks (mini V sit), 20 mountain climbers, 2 lengths of the soccer field
30 1 legged long jumps (15 ea leg), 20 mountain climbers, 2 lengths of the soccer field
20 Side bridges each, 20 mountain climbers, 2 lengths of the soccer field
25 push ups, 20 mountain climbers, 2 lengths of the soccer field

Total Time: 17 min + 3 min warm up = 20 min
HR: 175-180
Sweat'o'Metre: thank goodness for the cool breeze but I was still sweaty enough to want to get home to shower
Burn'o'Metre: Those burpee long jumps, first time doing them, tough but I like them!

this was after walking home and I'm still glistening so it was
a decent sweat I guess!

What I Did: Weights Day - Shoulder Burn

Today was weights. I look forward to Fridays, (yes I only do/use weights once a week...I figure body weight counts the rest of the time) it's a nice change of pace and use of my muscles. Even though I push it's not as hard as it is to move your entire body. Anyhow I do the typical total gym workout that comes in the package but I use the rest breaks to do either cardio or core. Today was core.

Warm up:Twice through my favorite "dance" video Mandisa's Good Morning. I have to admit though it's fun to do I don't dare do it with my husband around...it would be a mock session like no other haha!

Workout: 2-3 sets of 10-15 depending on the exercise

Shoulder Press & Chest Flyes with 30 seconds of straight leg toe touches (crunches with feet in the air)

Chest Press & Front Deltoid Raise with 30 seconds of leg raises

Lateral Flyes & Rear Deltoid flyes with 30 seconds of plank slaps (KILLER on the shoulders)

Double bicep curls (as in two different bicep exercises...don't know why they have it like that) and 30 seconds of bicycles

Total Time: Approx 20 min workout with 7 min warm up aka 27 min

HR: mostly 140-150 nothing too intense today

Sweat'o'Metre: had a fan blowing on me, didn't sweat much at all except near the end

Burn'o'Metre: shoulder buuuurrrrrrrnnnnn especially with those flyes and plank slaps put together

PS: BOOTCAMP II TOMORROW! WOOT WOOT!

What I Did: Cardio Video

Can't get enough of those Fitness Blender videos, especially when I'm sitting in my workout gear with my head on the table cause I don't want to plan my own workout.  Just cause I exercise the body doesn't mean I have to use my own brain all the time haha! Praise the Lord for the internet :)
So here's the video that had a warm up and cool down. Talk about taking the mental work out of it!

Total Time: 37 minutes (warm up and cool down in there too) workout is about 30 min
HR: 150 at the end, though I took it mid workout at around 170
Sweat'o'Metre: oh yeah baby all over my workout mat! Add extra umph (bounce, kicks etc) to pump it up
Burn'o'Metre: So weird, in my shoulders for those toe touches at the end after the plank slaps, oh how I love plank slaps :)...no for realz.
 

gosh I always forget to fix my crazy workout eyebrows...

What I Did: Take it Outside

So what if you have a workout you could easily do inside, if it doesn't use much equipment take it outside for as many of these sunny days as possible! Here's what I did (as well as enjoying the changing colour of the leaves)

Warm up: walked to the park about 2 min...not super awesome but whatever right...

Workout: 4 Rounds of
1 min skipping
30 second mountain climbers
1 min jumping jacks
20 push ups
30 crunches
20 squats
30 lunges (total)

Total Time: 2 min walk + 24.50 min workout = 26:50 min oh and 2 min home (28:50)
HR: 180
Sweat'o'Metre: for a breezy cool afternoon I still got sweaty, fogged up my sunglasses too
Burn'o'Metre: push ups on the last round, feelin the lunges too but still keeping a good pace

What I Did: Small Circuit in Sept Humidity

Wow this weather is nutzo! Super warm then super cold then super humid..what is going on? Anyhow I decided to take advantage of the warm weather and do this mini circuit outside. My run time was longer as there was construction on my route so I had to detour a bit...excuses excuses ;)
Warm up: 50 jumping jacks (not much of a warm up I know)

Workout: 1 mile jog (8:53)
3x the following
20 push ups
30 crunches
15 squats (raised arms)
15 lunges each leg

Total Time: 19 minutes
HR: 180
Sweat'o'Metre: one thing I like about the heat is it gets me sweating a lot more!
Burn'o'Metre: ok ok I didn't really push hard today nothing burning, but the push ups are getting easier which I'm happy to report! Getting back in the habit feels awesome.

why yes I had a fancy bun and make up on during my
workout. haha doing it girly style today!

What I Did: A Little Low A Little High

Today to be honest I thought I would kill two birds with one stone...so I vacuumed my apartment as my warm up hehe!
Then I did this;

Workout:
The cardio portion was pretty low intensity but it was fun and got me sweating a bit...see my last post dance video to Mandisa's Good Morning :)
Then I did 4 rounds of the following for some high intensity;
20 push ups
30 crunches
15 squats
30 walking lunges

Total Time: not including the vacuuming ;) 18:20 
HR: 160
Sweat'o'Metre: got me some drops
Burn'o'Metre: push ups as per usual but happy to say those lunges get easier every day! :)

What I Did: Low Impact Recovery Cardio

This video is good for those sore days that you're supposed to either rest or do some cardio but reeeeally don't wanna...it only takes 20 min (but you should include this awesome warm up video and do it twice it's so fun haha!)

Warm up: I dare you not to laugh while doing this

Workout: And the workout video via Fitness Blender...add a little umph to some of these for a little extra sweat while still keeping it low impact

Total Time: 6 min warm up (video 2ce) plus 20 min workout video = 26 min

HR: I took it half way and was at 160, then at the end it was around 180...heck I was surprised. 

Sweat'o'Metre: Since I stayed in I was already warm so yay little beads of sweat I love you!

Burn'o'Metre: my arms were sore from the last workout so the plank had my shoulders burning a bit...
