My AMAZING Monday!

I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas! Yikes! Where has this year gone? It seems like yesterday it was summer. Anywho! Speaking of Christmas, we decided we would go away for 3 days to SUNNY FLORIDA to get some sun. A friend of ours and giving us the keys to his condo and all we had to do was pay our airfare! So, ya know what that means! EXTRA workouts! I am counting down the days till I get my shorts on again and HOPEFULLY my bathing suit! YIKES!

Check out my workout from today!

I always start with my dynamic warm-ups and then a 5 minute walk to loosen up these legs of mine! I ran 3 miles, and had to do some walking along the way because the IT band thing is not gone yet.

3 miles

34 minutes

353 calories

Heart rate was between 150 & 164

Workout: Giant sets- no rest until the whole set is done...then rest for 30 seconds, DRINK WATER & STRETCH!

Front barbell squats with 30lbs- 20 reps

Push ups with hands holding onto kettle bells- 10 reps, slow and controlled

Rope- stiff arm pull down (think lats)-30lbs, 15 reps

***2 sets

Reverse lunge holding a blue 8lb ball- 20 reps each leg

Cable fly 1 arm @ a time- 12.5lbs on each side- 15 reps

Seated wide cable row- 20lbs each side- 15 reps

***2 sets

Sumo squat holding Kettle Bell- 25lbs-20 reps

Chest press with a thick yellow band (hard!)- 15 reps

Upright row with a 25lb kettle bell- 15 reps

***2 sets

Abductor & Adductor- 40 reps each machine and I used 55lbs and 75lbs

Lateral dbell raise- 7.5lbs-15 reps

Crunches- 25 reps

***2 sets

1 set of the following:

3lb weights on my ankle for glute kickbacks- 20 each leg

Elbow to opposite knee crunch on orange ball- 15 each side

Glute raise on high red ball- 20 reps

I felt amazing aside from the PAIN I am feeling behind my right knee! UGH!

So as you know I am driven by goals. I goal from now until Christmas Day is to workout as MUCH as possible without OVER TRAINING, run as much as I can WITHOUT killing my leg, and get back to 111lbs! I am at 113.6 right now. Many of you think it would be easy but it’s quite hard to even lose a steady pound when you are really fit. It would be easier for an overweight person to drop 2.6lbs! SHEESH! Sometimes I feel like it’s so unfair, but then I have to thank my lucky stars I am where I am!

Have a fabulous night!
