Went back to pilates for the first time in a couple of weeks. Boy it was hard, but felt so good! Think I'll be paying for it tomorrow. However my HRM kept stuffing up so it says I only worked out for 36.09 mins and burned 139 cals. Not too bad.
Boxing tomorrow night. Think I'm gonna die.
Also...kinda stopped the burpee challenge. I got sick after a weekend up the coast and still haven't recovered from my cough. Oh well. Another time.
PS. Just tried doing a prone hold on my toes...50.3 seconds. Not too bad considering that was about how good I was doing them at bootcamp. Next time a minute!!

Monday 4 June
So I haven't exercised for over a week, mainly due to work commitments. :(
Started back at Zumba and it was a little difficult but burned 339 calories in 42:07 minutes which is pretty good.
Found a burpee challenge which I'm considering doing - 100 day burpee challenge:
Starting on day 1, do one Burpee. Day 2, do 2 Burpees and so on. Do that for 100 days in a row. If you miss a day you need to make them up. So if you miss day 31, on day 32 you need to do 31 Burpees (to make up the missed day) and 32 for the current day. That adds up fast! Missing days in the beginning is no big deal but missing a day at day 80 would suck. So plan it out and challenge yourself to complete it. It’s only 5050 Burpees in 100 days. (from here)
Sounds like a challenge I could be up for!
We'll see how long this little craze lasts.
So I just did one, including a pushup but on my knees. :) 2 tomorrow!

Wokout 1
So I have decided I need somewhere to record my exercise efforts, times, calories, rounds etc. I am a regular exerciser and consider myself quite fit but need to step it up so why not keep myself honest and record it all in a blog for the world to potentially see?
Decided to start the ZWOW exercises today. Have been inspired by these exercise videos for a while but haven't had the guts to give them a crack. There's no time like the present right? Every week Zuzana does bodyweight exercises which seem really tough!
Today I did ZWOD #1 which is:
As I have no upper body or core or for that matter leg (!!) strength the dive bombers were done on my knees, the side plank lifts on my elbows and I did single leg squats.
However I did complete the workout in 23:18 and burned 207 calories. Not bad for someone recovering from gastro.
Until the next time...

Today I did ZWOD #1 which is:
- dive bombers x 10
- burpees x 5
- squat leg lift x 20/leg
- burpees x 5
- side plans lift x 10/side
- burpees x 5
- pistol squat x 10/leg
- burpees x 5
3 rounds as fast as possible.
