Hanson and ZWOW #13

Hi! Long time no update.

September has been a crazy month and I haven't been able to exercise as much as I would like.  I was back at Mad Dance House just doing zumba and pilates. Haven't done tramp for ages as I've had other stuff on. The last 2 weeks have been really crazy as I was busy going to 5 Hanson concerts!

They were so amazing. Went to 3 shows in QLD and the 2 Sydney shows. Also went to a MOE (Members Only Event), got my Shout It Out album sleeve signed and saw my friend Di in the process. Can't wait to get the picture from the MOE as I was standing in between Isaac and Taylor. Also while getting my cd signed managed to say a whole sentence to Isaac "It was great to finally hear you sing a solo" and he laughed. Only managed to say thanks to the other two and at the MOE I was speechless...except for when I thought I banged Zac's hand on the barrier (and didn't) and said sorry.

Anyway, now it's back to the daily grind.  Thought I'd give a ZWOW a crack today.  Boy it was hard!!  Did number 13 which was tabata style for each exercise there was 8 rounds of 20 seconds work and 10 seconds rest so a total of 4 mins per exercise.

The exercises were:

  • ALT leg balance burn
  • bunny hop
  • weighted leg raise
  • broad jump death burpee
Modifcations:

Don't think I did the bunny hops as well as Zuzana and the weighted leg raises weren't weighted...it actually took a while to figure out exactly what they were.  Also didn't do push ups with the burpees.

Total reps for each exercise:
  • ALT leg balance burn - 43 standing on the right leg, 45 on the left leg
  • bunny hop - 151
  • weighted leg raise - 46
  • broad jump death burpee - 29
Not too bad considering I haven't done too much for ages.  In 16 minutes I burned 100 calories and after a cool down (20 mins) it was 122 calories.

Determined to get back into it now!
